Grammar---复合不定代词
复合不定代词复合不定代词是由some, any, no, every加-body, -thing, -one构成,列表如下:由于在使用中有比较特殊的习惯用法,是考试中比较常见的考点。
现将常见的考试形式解析如下:I.复合不定代词和部分否定部分否定是考试中的热门考点,常表达的结构有两种:1.not+全部肯定词2.助动词+not+全部肯定词其意都为“并非都,不都”。
前者是一般形态,如:Not everyone likes English. 由于是基本概念,学生比较容易理解。
但后者和一般否定比较相似,容易引起学生判断上的疑惑,是出题的焦点。
1.I agree with most of what you sai d, but I don’t agree with _____.A. everything B: anything C. something D. nothing分析:有同学看到I don’t agree就判断是否定句,选B, anything .这就是对句子理解出现了偏差。
句意是:我同意你所说的大部分,但不是全部。
是一句典型的部分否定形式。
not…everythi ng 的结构表明“并非每件事”。
所以正确答案是A. everything 。
2.----The exam was difficult, wasn’t it?----No, but I don’t think ______ could pass it.A. somebodyB. anybodyC. nobody D everybody分析:同上题一样,不能将I don’t think 简单得看成否定句而选B. anybody。
“not…everybody”构成部分否定,既“并非所有的人都能通过”。
所以应该选D. everybody。
II.复合不定代词的定语位置复合不定代词被定语修饰的时候,定语必须放在不定代词后面。
特别是当修饰的定语比较复杂的情况下要认真分析,弄清词序间的修饰关系。
Grammar(宾补+状语)
1) 表原因状语(可转化为原因状语 从句)
Because she was worried about the time available,she had made a list of...
=Worried about the time available,she had made a list of...
3. 用在使役动词后,如 keep sth done,leave sth done, make sth done….
They kept _t_h_e _d_oo_r_l_oc_k_e_d_ for a long time.
Don’t leave t_h_e_w_i_n_d_o_w_b_r_o_k_e_n_ all the time.
21.被外面声音吓到,我去看发生了什么。(frighten) Frightened by the loud noise outside, I went to see what was happening. 22.她走出房子,女儿跟着她。(follow) She walked out of the house, followed by her little daughter 23.深深地感动于这个故事,小孩子们开始哭了。(move) Deeply moved by the story, the children began to cry. 24.他坐在床边,陷入沉思。(lose) She sat by the window, lost in thought. 跟你相比,我们仍然有很长的路要走。
Standing at the foot of the mountain ,he had a photo taken. 30.在森林里迷路了,他感到很害怕。(lose)

grammar知识点总结
grammar知识点总结Grammar is a set of rules and principles that govern the use of language. It includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences, as well as the rules for using punctuation and capitalization. Understanding grammar is essential for effective communication, as it helps to ensure that our messages are clear, concise, and accurate. In this summary, we will cover the key aspects of grammar, including parts of speech, sentence structure, and common grammatical errors.Parts of SpeechOne of the fundamental concepts in grammar is the classification of words into parts of speech. This classification helps us to understand how words function in sentences and how they relate to one another. There are eight main parts of speech:1. Noun: A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea. Examples include "dog," "city," "book," and "happiness."2. Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that can take the place of a noun. Examples include "he," "she," "it," and "they."3. Verb: A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. Examples include "run," "eat," "sleep," and "is."4. Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. Examples include "red," "tall," "beautiful," and "smart."5. Adverb: An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb. It usually answers the questions "how," "when," "where," or "to what extent." Examples include "quickly," "often," "here," and "very."6. Preposition: A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Examples include "in," "on," "under," and "between."7. Conjunction: A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Examples include "and," "but," "or," and "because."8. Interjection: An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses strong emotion or surprise. Examples include "wow," "oh," "ouch," and "bravo."Understanding the parts of speech is important for building and analyzing sentences. For example, identifying the verb in a sentence can help us understand the action being performed, while recognizing the adjectives and adverbs can paint a clearer picture of the noun they are describing.Sentence StructureIn addition to understanding the parts of speech, it is essential to grasp the basic structure of a sentence. Sentences are made up of clauses, and each clause contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about, and the predicate is the action or state of being that the subject is performing or undergoing.There are four main types of sentences based on their structure:1. Simple Sentence: A simple sentence consists of one independent clause. It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. For example, "She sings beautifully."2. Compound Sentence: A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) or a semicolon. For example, "She sings beautifully, and she plays the guitar."3. Complex Sentence: A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. For example, "Although she sings beautifully, she is nervous on stage."4. Compound-Complex Sentence: A compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. For example, "She sings beautifully, and she plays the guitar, but she gets nervous when people watch her."Understanding sentence structure is crucial for constructing clear and coherent sentences. It helps us to ensure that our writing is grammatically correct and easy to understand. Common Grammatical ErrorsDespite our best efforts, it is easy to make grammatical mistakes when writing or speaking. Some common grammatical errors include:1. Subject-Verb Agreement: This error occurs when the subject and the verb do not agree in number. For example, "The team are playing" should be "The team is playing" because "team" is a singular noun.2. Misplaced or Dangling Modifier: A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase that is not placed near the word it is modifying, which can cause confusion or ambiguity. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that does not have a clear subject to modify. For example, "Running quickly, the finish line was crossed" should be "Running quickly, she crossed the finish line."3. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement: This error occurs when the pronoun does not agree with its antecedent in number, gender, or person. For example, "Everyone should do their best" should be "Everyone should do his or her best" to ensure agreement.4. Double Negative: Using two negatives in a sentence can create confusion and ambiguity. For example, "I don't know nothing" should be "I don't know anything."5. Comma Splice: A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with a comma but no coordinating conjunction. For example, "I like to read, I also enjoy writing" should be "I like to read, and I also enjoy writing."Avoiding these common grammatical errors can greatly improve the clarity and effectiveness of our communication.ConclusionIn summary, grammar is a set of rules and principles that govern the use of language. Understanding grammar is essential for effective communication, as it helps to ensure that our messages are clear, concise, and accurate. Key aspects of grammar include the classification of words into parts of speech, the basic structure of sentences, and common grammatical errors. By mastering these aspects of grammar, we can improve our writing and speaking skills and become more effective communicators.。

The term refers also to the study of such rules, and this field includes morphology, syntax, and phonology, often complemented by phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics. Linguists do not normally use the term to refer to orthographical rules, although usage books and style guides that call themselves grammars may also refer to spelling and punctuation.[citation needed]Contents [hide]1 Use of the term2 Etymology3 History4 Development of grammars5 Grammar frameworks6 Education7 See also8 Notes and references9 External links[edit] Use of the termThe term grammar is often used bynon-linguists with a very broad meaning. As Jeremy Butterfield puts it: "Grammar is often a generic way of referring to any aspect of English that people object to."[1] However, linguists use it in a much more specific sense. Speakers of a language have in their heads a set of rules[2] for using that language. This is a grammar, and—at least in the case of one's native language—the vast majority of the information in it is acquired not by conscious study or instruction, but by observing other speakers; much of this work is done during infancy. Language learning later in life, of course, may involve a greater degree of explicit instruction.[3]The term "grammar" can also be used to describe the rules that govern the linguistic behaviour of a group of speakers. The term "English grammar", therefore, may have several meanings. It may refer to the whole of English grammar—that is, to the grammars of all the speakers of the language—in which case, the term encompasses a great deal of variation.[4] Alternatively, it may refer only to what is common to the grammars of all, or of the vast majority of English speakers (such as subject–verb–object word order in simple declarative sentences). Or it may refer to the rules ofa particular, relatively well-defined variety of English (such as Standard English)."An English grammar" is a specific description, study or analysis of such rules. A reference book describing the grammar of a language is called a "reference grammar" or simply "a grammar." A fully explicit grammar that exhaustively describes the grammatical constructions of a language is called a descriptive grammar. This kind of linguistic description contrasts with linguistic prescription, an attempt to discourage or suppress some grammatical constructions, while promoting others. For example, preposition stranding occurs widely in Germanic languages and has a long history in English. John Dryden, however, objected to it (without explanation),[5] leading other English speakers to avoid the construction and discourage its use.[6][edit] EtymologyFurther information: GraphemeThe word grammar derives from Greek γραμματικὴτέχνη (grammatikē technē), which means "art of letters", from γράμμα (gramma), "letter", itself from γράφειν (graphein), "to draw, to write".[7][edit] HistoryFurther information: History of linguisticsThe first systematic grammars originated in Iron Age India, with Yaska (6th c. BC), Pāṇini (4th c. BC) and his commentators Pingala (ca. 200 BC), Katyayana, and Patanjali (2nd c. BC). In the West, grammar emerged as a discipline in Hellenism from the 3rd c. BC forward with authors like Rhyanus and Aristarchus of Samothrace, the oldest extant work being the Art of Grammar (ΤέχνηΓραμματική), attributed to Dionysius Thrax (ca. 100 BC). Latin grammar developed by following Greek models from the 1st century BC, due to the work of authors such as Orbilius Pupillus, Remmius Palaemon, Marcus Valerius Probus, Verrius Flaccus, and Aemilius Asper.Tolkāppiyam is the earliest Tamil grammar; it has been dated variously between 1st CE and 10th CE.A grammar of Irish originated in the 7th century with the Auraicept na n-Éces.Arabic grammar emerged with Abu al-Aswad al-Du'ali from the 7th century who in-turn was taught the discipline by Ali ibn Abitalib, the fourth historical caliph of Islam and first Imam for Shi'i Muslims.The first treatises on Hebrew grammar appeared in the High Middle Ages, in the context of Mishnah (exegesis of the Hebrew Bible). The Karaite tradition originated in Abbasid Baghdad. The Diqduq (10th century) is one of the earliest grammatical commentaries on the Hebrew Bible.[8] Ibn Barun in the 12th century compares the Hebrew language with Arabic in the Islamic grammatical tradition.[9]Belonging to the trivium of the seven liberal arts, grammar was taught as a core discipline throughout the Middle Ages, following the influence of authors from Late Antiquity, such as Priscian. Treatment of vernaculars began gradually during the High Middle Ages, with isolated works such as the First Grammatical Treatise, but became influential only in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In 1486, Antonio de Nebrija published Las introduciones Latinas contrapuesto el romance al Latin, and the first Spanish grammar, Gramática de la lengua castellana, in 1492. During the 16th century Italian Renaissance, the Questione della lingua was the discussion on the status and ideal form of the Italian language, initiated by Dante'sde vulgari eloquentia (Pietro Bembo, Prose della volgar lingua Venice 1525). The first grammar of Slovene language was written in 1584 by Adam Bohorič.Grammars of non-European languages began to be compiled for the purposes of evangelization and Bible translation from the 16th century onward, such as Grammatica o Arte de la Lengua General de los Indios de los Reynos del Perú (1560), and a Quechua grammar by Fray Domingo de Santo Tomás.In 1643 there appeared Ivan Uzhevych's Grammatica sclavonica and, in 1762, the Short Introduction to English Grammar of Robert Lowth was also published. The Grammatisch-Kritisches Wörterbuch der hochdeutschen Mundart, a High German grammar in five volumes by Johann Christoph Adelung, appeared as early as 1774.From the latter part of the 18th century, grammar came to be understood as a subfield of the emerging discipline of modern linguistics. The Serbian grammar by Vuk S tefanović Karadžić arrived in 1814, while the Deutsche Grammatik of the Brothers Grimm was first published in 1818. The Comparative Grammar ofFranz Bopp, the starting point of modern comparative linguistics, came out in 1833.[edit] Development of grammarsMain article: Historical linguisticsGrammars evolve through usage and also due to separations of the human population. With the advent of written representations, formal rules about language usage tend to appear also. Formal grammars are codifications of usage that are developed by repeated documentation over time, and by observation as well. As the rules become established and developed, the prescriptive concept of grammatical correctness can arise. This often creates a discrepancy between contemporary usage and that which has been accepted, over time, as being correct. Linguists tend to view prescriptive grammars as having little justification beyond their authors' aesthetic tastes, although style guides may give useful advice about standard language employment, based on descriptions of usage in contemporary writings of the same language. Linguistic prescriptions also form part of the explanation for variation in speech, particularly variation in the speech of an individual speaker (an explanation, for example, for why some people say, "I didn't donothing"; some say, "I didn't do anything"; and some say one or the other depending on social context).The formal study of grammar is an important part of educationfor children from a young age through advanced learning, though the rules taught in schools are not a "grammar" in the sense most linguists use the term, particularly as they are often prescriptive rather than descriptive.Constructed languages (also called planned languages or conlangs) are more common in the modern day. Many have been designed to aid human communication (for example, naturalistic Interlingua, schematic Esperanto, and the highly logic-compatible artificial language Lojban). Each of these languages has its own grammar.Syntax refers to linguistic structure above the word level (e.g. how sentences are formed)—though without taking into account intonation, which is the domain of phonology. Morphology, by contrast, refers to structure at and below the word level (e.g. how compound words are formed), but above the level of individual sounds, which, like intonation, are in the domain of phonology.[10] No clear line can be drawn, however, between syntax andmorphology. Analytic languages use syntax to convey information that is encoded via inflection in synthetic languages. In other words, word order is not significant and morphology is highly significant in a purely synthetic language, whereas morphology is not significant and syntax is highly significant in an analytic language. Chinese and Afrikaans, for example, are highly analytic, and meaning is therefore very context-dependent. (Both do have some inflections, and have had more in the past; thus, they are becoming even less synthetic and more "purely" analytic over time.) Latin, which is highly synthetic, uses affixes and inflections to convey the same information that Chinese does with syntax. Because Latin words are quite (though not completely) self-contained, an intelligible Latin sentence can be made from elements that are placed in a largely arbitrary order. Latin has a complex affixation and simple syntax, while Chinese has the opposite.[edit] Grammar frameworksMain article: Grammar framework Various "grammar frameworks" have been developed in theoretical linguistics since the mid 20th century, in particular under the influence of the idea of a "universal grammar" in the United States. Of these, the main divisions are:Transformational grammar (TG)Systemic functional grammar (SFG)Principles and Parameters Theory (P&P)Lexical-functional Grammar (LFG)Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG)Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)Dependency grammars (DG)Role and reference grammar (RRG)[edit] EducationFurther information: orthographyPrescriptive grammar is taught in primary school (elementary school). The term "grammar school" historically refers to a school teaching Latin grammar to future Roman citizens, orators, and, later, Catholic priests. In its earliest form, "grammar school" referred to a school that taught students to read, scan, interpret, and declaim Greek and Latin poets (including Homer, Virgil, Euripides, Ennius, and others). These should not be confused with the related, albeit distinct, modern British grammar schools.A standard language is a particular dialect of a language that is promoted above other dialects in writing, education, and broadly speaking in the public sphere; it contrasts with vernacular dialects, which may be the objects of study in descriptive grammar but whichare rarely taught prescriptively. The standardized "first language" taught in primary education may be subject to political controversy, since it establishes a standard defining nationality or ethnicity.Recently, efforts have begun to update grammar instruction in primary and secondary education. The primary focus has been to prevent the use of outdated prescriptive rules in favor of more accurate descriptive ones and to change perceptions about relative "correctness" of standard forms in comparison to non standard dialects.The pre-eminence of Parisian French has reigned largely unchallenged throughout the history of modern French literature. Standard Italian is not based on the speech of the capital, Rome, but on the speech of Florence because of the influence Florentines had on early Italian literature. Similarly, standard Spanish is not based on the speech of Madrid, but on the one of educated speakers from more northerly areas like Castile and León. In Argentina and Uruguay the Spanish standard is based on the local dialects of Buenos Aires and Montevideo (Rioplatense Spanish). Portuguese has for now two official written standards, respectively BrazilianPortuguese and European Portuguese, but in a short term it will have a unified orthography.[11]The Serbian language is divided in a similar way; Serbia and the Republika Srpska use their own separate standards. The existence of a third standard is a matter of controversy, some consider Montenegrin as a separate language, and some think it's merely another variety of Serbian.Norwegian has two standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk, the choice between which is subject to controversy: Each Norwegian municipality can declare one of the two its official language, or it can remain "language neutral". Nynorsk is endorsed by a minority of 27 percent of the municipalities. The main language used in primary schools normally follows the official language of its municipality, and is decided by referendum within the local school district. Standard German emerged out of the standardized chancellery use of High German in the 16th and 17th centuries. Until about 1800, it was almost entirely a written language, but now it is so widely spoken that most of the former German dialects are nearly extinct.Standard Chinese has official status as the standard spoken form of the Chinese language in the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of China (ROC) and the Republic of Singapore. Pronunciation of Standard Chinese is based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin Chinese, while grammar and syntax are based on modern vernacular written Chinese. Modern Standard Arabic is directly based on Classical Arabic, the language of the Qur'an. The Hindustani language has two standards, Hindi and Urdu.In the United States, the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar designated March 4 as National Grammar Day in 2008.[12][edit] See alsoCategory:Grammars of specific languagesAmbiguous grammarGovernment and bindingHarmonic GrammarHigher order grammarGrammemeLinguistic typologyList of linguistsParagrammatismSyntaxUniversal grammarUsage[edit] Notes and references1.^ Jeremy Butterfield, (2008) Damp Squid: The English Language Laid Bare, Oxford University Press, Oxford. 978-0-19-923906. p. 142.2.^ Traditionally, the mental information used to produce and process linguistic utterances is referred to as "rules."

Grammar
It is necessary to know grammar, and it is better to write grammatically than not, but it is well to remember that grammar is common speech formulated. Usage is the only test. (William Somerset Maugham, The Summing Up, 1938)
course
1.What is grammar?
Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the "rules" of a language; but in fact no language has rules*. If we use the word "rules", we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words, phrases and sentences.
Descriptive grammar
A descriptive grammar tries to look at the grammar of any spoken language or dialect as it actually exists, judging whether a sentence is grammatical or not based on the rules of the speech group in which it is spoken, rather than an arbitrary set of rules. For example, He do it.
