准关系代词 as, than, but
as, than, but 这几个连接词可以像关系词一样,前面有名词作先行词;但它们后面的定语从句却不像典型的定语从句。所以这些既像连接词又像关系词的词,我们就称为准关系代词。准关系代词只有than,as, but, 分别用在以下情况
as 主要用在“such (+n.)+as..”(和…同样的),"the same (+n)+as..”(像…⋯这样的),the same as(同样的人或事),such as(这样的东西或人),as.. as 等结构中

than 作为准关系代词出现在 more. than, less.. than, fewer. than 等结构中,这时 than 前 面要有名词
I have more money than is needed. 我的钱比需要的多。
but 是具有否定感义的准关系代词,代替人或物,在意义上等同于“that which/who. not”,but 的面的主句要有另一个否定意义
There is no one but is concerned about his future. 没有人不关心自己的未来
