1. At half-past one Mrs Durbeyfield came into the bedroom where Tess and all the children slept．

點撥：where Tess and all the children slept是定語從句，所修飾的先行詞是bedroom，它表示地點，在定語從句中做狀語，所以用where引導。

2. Maybe a young man would go？

點撥：would在這里表示“猜測”。

3. It was eleven o’clock before all the family were in bed，

點撥：“It+系動詞+時間+before+句子。”表示“什么時間之前就做某事了”。

It was eight o’clock before I set off for school. 八點鐘之前我就去上學了。

4. It was a distance of twenty or thirty miles on bad roads to Casterbridge，where the Saturday market was held．

點撥：where the Saturday market was held是非線性性定語從句，修飾先行詞Casterbridge，補充說明那個地方的習俗習慣。
