一、基本含义
复合不定代词是由 some; any; no; every 和 body; thing; one 构成的合成词。
body 用来表示人;thing 用来表示物;one 既可表示人也可表示物。
some 表示“某;任何”,用于肯定陈述句或用情态动词引导的问句中;
any 表示“某”,用于否定句或问句中;
no 表示“没有”,用于肯定句说明否定意义;
every 表示“每一”,用于肯定句或问句。
二、基本用法
1. 当疑问句表示请求、建议等肯定意义时,用 some 不用 any。如:
Would you like some tea? 想喝点茶吗?
2. 主谓一致性关系:复合不定代词任何时候都看为单数,作主语时,谓语动词使用单数形式。如:
Everybody in our class is interested in English. 我们班级的每个人都对英语感兴趣。
3. 形容词或 else 修饰复合不定代词时,形容词放在复合不定代词后。如:
I have something important to tell you. 我有一些重要的事情要告訴你。
4. 在反义疑问句中,需代换复合不定代词的人称代词:在使用人称代词代换复合不定代词时,应考虑其是表示人还是表示物,表示人时用 they 代换;表示物时,用 it 代换。如:
Something is wrong with your computer, isn't it? 你的电脑出了些问题,不是吗?
Nobody has been there before, have they? 没有人之前来过这,是吗?
