复合不定代词的用法
①指人:everyone, someone, anyone, no one ②指物:everything, something, anything, nothing
1.复合不定代词只相当于名词,在句子中可作主语、宾语、表语,不能作定语(即不具有形容词的性质)。
2.复合不定代词都作单数看待,如果充当主语时,谓语动词用单数式。
例句:Everyone is here.
3.如果被定语修饰时,修饰语只能后置。
例句:Did you go anywhere interesting last weekend?
Did you see anyone else in the classroom? 4.和some, any用法一样,带有some的复合不定代词一般用于肯定句和请求语气的句子中,带有any的复合不定代词一般用于否定句、疑问句。
1) I have something important to tell you. 我有一些重要的事要告诉你。 something用于肯定句,修饰语important后置。
2)I don’t feel like anything to eat.我什么都不想吃。(anything用于否定句,修饰语to eat后置)。 注:(1)含有some的复合不定代词也可用于疑问句中,表示请求、建议和反问等。 ①Could you tell me something about her?(表示请求) ②Would you like something to eat?(表示建议)
③Why don’t you ask someone to help you?(表示反问)
注:(2)含有any的复合不定代词也可以用于肯定句中,表示“任何人”或“任何事”的意思。 例:Anything is possible.一切皆有可能。Nike
5.复合不定代词的属格式就在不定代词后加’s构成。如果复合不定代词之后有定语else,则属格式应移到else上。
例:①There is somebody’s bag on the desk.
②Everybody’s life is very important. ③She took somebody else’s umbrella home.
