不定代词用法总结
1) some, any的用法
some和any通常用于表示不定数或不定量,修饰复数可数名词或不可数名词。some 表示“几个;一些;部分”,多用于肯定句;而any表示“一些;什么;任何;”,对用于否定句或疑问句中。如:
* He asked me some questions. (他问了我几个问题。) * Some of the bread has been eaten. (面包已吃了一些。)
* Are there any stamps in this post office? (这个邮局里有邮票吗?)
* I didn’t have any cigarettes, so I went out to buy some. (我没有香烟了,所以出去买了一些。)
2) 复合不定代词的用法
a. 不定代词some, any, no与-one, -body, -thing可以组成九个复合代词。它们是:
someone anyone no one
somebody anybody nobody
something anything nothing
这些复合不定代词只有名词的性质,可以作主语、宾语等。
b. 因为some一般用于肯定句,any一般用于否定句或疑问句,no表示完全否定,
因此由some, any, no与-one, -body组成的复合代词的用法也一样。
c. 第二部分为-one和-body的复合代词只用于表示人,它们的形式是单数形式,
但有时可以用they或them指代。
* There is someone in your office. Can you hear them talking? (你办公室里有人。你听见他们说话了吗?)
d. 第二部分为-thing的复合代词只能用于指物。如:
* There was something wrong with the car so he had to stopped it.
* He looked at me and didn’t say anything. * Nothing can be done to save her life.
e. 这些复合不定代词如果有其它的形容词修饰,形容词必须后置。如:
* Somebody important has arrived, I’m sure. (important修饰somebody)
3) none 与no one 的用法区别
None和no one 都表示“三者或者三者以上的另一个”,但是用法不一样。
None既指人也指物,它常与of 短语连用
None of us failed the exam.
I have read none of the books.
在回答以how many,how much 开头得疑问句时要用none。
No one 只能用来指人,不能指物,且不能与of短语连用,回答以who开头的疑问句时要用no one。
No one knows the answer to the question.
4) all, every, each, other, another, either, neither, both
a. every只有形容词的性质,在句中作定语。常用于修饰单数的可数名词。表示“每
个;各个”,还可以表示“一切”。
* After the strong wind every flower in the garden was gone.
every还可以和-one, -thing, -body构成复合不定代词,即:everyone, everything, everybody。其中,everyone和everybody用于指人,意思一样,都是“每人;大家”,形式上表示单数意思上可以表示单数也可以表示复数。everything用于指物,意思是“每件事;一切”,形式上表示单数意思上可以表示单数也可以表示复数。如:* One can’t have everything. * Everything goes well with me.
* The town is so small that everybody knows everybody else.
注意:在使用everyone时要注意和every one相区别。everyone是一个不定代词而every one是一个词组,前者只能指人而后者既可以指人也可以指物。请注
意下列例句:
* Everyone will be here except Patrick. (everyone 指人) * Every one of the children will get a gift. (every one也指人)
*We played several matches against the visitors, but unluckily lost every one. (every one指物)
b. each的意思是“每个;各自的”,可以指人,也可以指物。如:
* I leave home at 7 a.m. each day. * Each of them has received a letter.
由于each和every的意思相近,都表示“每一个”,因此要特别注意它们的区别。each所描述的对象至少是两个数目中的每一个,而every所描述的对象至少
是三个数目中的每一个;every 着重强调整体的含义而each 着重强调个别;every 只能作形容词放于名词前而each 可以作形容词、代词和副词。如:
*You can see a lot of new shops on each side of the street. (因为街道只有两边
因此不能用every)
*Each has too coats. (each 是代词不能换用every)
c. other 可以指人也可以指物,表示“另外的人或事物”,其后可以接单数或复数的名词;此外,other 也有复数形式,是others 。如:
* He has two brothers, one is a teacher, the other is a doctor.
*Some children like milk chocolate, other children prefer plain chocolate.
*We should not think only of ourselves, we should think of others first.
d. another 的意思是“另一个;再一个;又一个”,通常只能修饰单数的名词或代词,泛指“不定数目中的另一个”。
* Would you like to try another kind of drink? * I don't like this hat; please
show me another.
注意:other 和another 都有“另外的”意思,要注意它们的区别。
首先一般来说,两者中的“另一个”是the other ,不定数目中的“另一个”是another 。如:
* She has a book in one hand and a pen in the other. (这里表示两只手中的另一
个因此用the other)
* This cup is broken. Get me another, please.
其次,other 的后面可以接单数或复数的名词而another 的后面只能接单数名
词。如:
* He has other brothers. * I am not very well today. Tell them I will go and see
them another day.
第三,other 有复数形式,泛指别人时通常不加冠词;而表示其他的人时常要
加定冠词;而another 没有复数形式。
* Some went to the People’s Park, others visited the zoo. * Could you tell the
others that I’ll be late?
(每一个人都知道应该做什么/他的工作。) (在这两个句子中用every 和each 都可以)
