当先行词是way的时候，其后的定语从句的引导词可以有三种情况：that、in which和省略不填。这是英语语法中的一个规定。我们先来看个例句：I hate the way ________ Tom talks with his parents.这个题目就有三个答案，即that、in which和省略。
牛刀小试：
1. I don"t like the way ______ you speak to her.
A. which B. 不填 C. in that D. of which
2. Can you tell me the way ______ I can improve my English?
A. at which B. which C. by which D. in which
3. The way ______he looks at problems is wrong.
A. which B. how C. what D./
4. That is not the way ______I do it.
A./ B.which C.for which D.with which
5. The teacher praised Tom for the way__________ he faces difficulties.
A. how B. with which C. in which D.that
参考答案：B D D A C
上面的讲解可以完美解释这五个题目的答案。但是要注意的是，有很多人会错误的选择how来引导way后面的定语从句，这是错误的。究其原因是有人会习惯性地把句子翻译成为汉语，然后根据汉语的意思来选择答案。比如第三题，很容易把从句翻译成：他看问题的方法是错的。根据“方法”二字，就容易错选how。
同样道理，第五题的从句有人会翻译成：他是如何面对困难的。从这个角度理解就容易错选how。所以，请记住，做语法题一定要从语法角度来分析题目，不要依据汉语翻译来选择答案，很容易犯错。因为两门语言的语法规则毕竟是不同的。
