代词的基本用法及注意事项
代词分为九类:人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、相互代词、指示代词、疑问代词、不定代词、连接代词、关系代词。本文仅对前七类代词的基本用法和注意事项加以讲解,连接代词和关系代词的用法请参照相关的名词性从句和定语从句。
1、人称代词
人称代词分主格和宾格两种。作主语时用主格(I, you, he, she, it,
we, they),作宾语时用宾格(me, you, him, her, it, us,
them),作表语时常用宾格。但需注意:
(1)在口语中,作主语的人称代词如果孤立地使用于无谓语动词的句子中,或在这种句子中与动词不定式连用,常用宾格。
—Does any of you know where Tom
lives?
—Me.
What! Me (to) play him at chess? No!
(2)作表语时,人称代词一般用宾格,但在强调句型中,被强调部分代词的格不变。
I met her in the hospital.→It was her who I
met in the hospital.
(3)在比较级的句子中,than、as后用主格、宾格都可以。如:
He is taller than me(I).
但在下列句中,使用主格与宾格人称代词在句意上有区别:
I like Jack as much as her.=I like both
Jack and her.
I like Jack as much as she.=I like Jack and
sh
e likes him, too.
2、物主代词
物主代词是表示所有关系的代词。它分形容词性物主代词(my, your, his,
her, its, our, their)和名词性物主代词(mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours,
theirs)。在使用物主代词时需注意:
(1)形容词性物主代词只能作定语,如my
brother。名词性物主代词代替的是“形容词性物主代词+名词”,因此其后不能再加名词,可在句中作主语、宾语和表语。如:
It’s not my computer. Mine is on the
desk.
He is a close friend of ours.
(2)在表示身体具体部位时,常用定冠词代替物主代词。如:
He was wounded in the leg.
He took me by the arm.
3、反身代词
反身代词(oneself)在句中可作宾语、表语和同位语。如:
She is not quite herself today.
I myself can repair the bike.
其注意事项为:
(1)反身代词不能作主语。如:
Herself called you up last night.
(wrong)
She called you up last night herself.
(2)反身代词不能作并列宾语。如:
The tickets are for you, Mr. Wang and
myself. (wrong)
The tickets are for you, Mr. Wang and
me.
4、相互代词
英语中只有两个相互代词:each other和one
another。其注意事项为:
(1)相互代词在句中通常只能作宾语。其所有格为:each other’s 、one
another’s。
5、指示代词
指示代词有this, that, these, those, it, such,
same等,在句中可作主语、宾语、表语和定语。关于指示代词需注意以下事项:
(1)this(these)和that(those)的区别
① this (these)一般指时间和空间上较近的人或物;而that (those)
则指时间和空间上较远的人或物。如:
This is a pen and that is a pencil.
② this(these) 常指后面要讲到的事物,有启下的作用;that(those)
则指前面讲到过的事物,有承上的作用。如:
I want to tell you this: The English party
will be held on Saturday afternoon.
He hurt his leg yesterday. That’s why he
didn’t come.
③ this在电话用语中用以自我介绍,that用以询问对方。如:
This is Tom speaking. Is that Jane?
④ this和that可以作副词用,表示程度。如:
I can only promise you this much. (I can’t
promise that much.)
(2)such和same的注意事项
①
such用作定语时,它所修饰名词前的不定冠词a(an)应放在such之后。如:
We have never seen such a tall
building.
② same指“同样的”人或事,其前面要用定冠词the。如:
Whether he can do it or not, it is all the
same to me.
6、疑问代词
常用的疑问代词有who, whom, whose, whoever, which,
whichever, what,
whatever等。疑问代词一般放在句首,用来构成特殊疑问句,可用主语、宾语、表语和定语。其注意事项为:
(1)who/what
询问姓名或关系时用who; 询问职业或地位时用what。如:
--Who is he?
--He is my brother./He is Henry.
--What is he?
--He is a lawyer/teacher.
(2)which与who、what
which是指在已确定的某一范围内的选择,其后可跟of短语;而who、what则用于未知范围内进行选择或提问,因此其后不能跟of短语。如:
I found two books on the desk. Which is
yours?
They look so alike that I can hardly tell
which is which.
There is somebody in the room, but who is
it?
What fruit do like best?
(3)whoever, whatever和whichever分别为who, what,
which的强调形式,相当于who/what/which on earth,意为“到底(究竟)谁/什么/哪一个。如:
Whatever do you want?
Whoever gave you the book?
(4)what 可用以表示“多少”,如:
What is the population of your city?
What’s the distance from your home to the
school?
7、不定代词
不定代词主要有:all、each、every、both、either、neither、one、none、little、few、many、much、other、another、some、any、no等,以及由some、any、no和every构成的合成代词。其基本用法及主要注意事项如下:
(1)some与any
some、any可与单、复数可数名词及不可数名词连用。some一般用于肯定句,any多用于疑问、否定或条件句。如:

ask?
I don’t know any of the students.
应注意:
① any可用于肯定句,表示“任何”之意。

England.
③ some可用在表示请求或邀请的问句中。

(2)any和every

any既可以作定语,又可以单独使用,代替上文出现过的名词,其后可跟of短语;而every只能作定语,不能单独使用,其后不可跟of短语。如:

(3)each和every

trees.

to find it.
② 表示部分否定应用every,而不能用each。

dictionary.
③ each可作主语的同位语,此时谓语的数依然由主语决定。如:

②
both作主语时,其谓语必须用复数;either作主语时,谓语用单数;而all作主语时,若代表可数的人或物,其意义为复数,谓语用复数。若代表的是不可数名词或事情或事物的整体时,谓语用单数。

③
在含有not的否定句中,both和all都是表示部分否定。要表示完全否定,both用neither,all用none。如:

(5)neither和none

neither是“两者中没有一个”的意思,可以修饰或代替单数可数名词。None表示“三个或三个以上的人或物中没有一个”。如:

②
neither作主语时,谓语通常用单数;none代替不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;代替可数名词作主语时,谓语动词可用单数也可用复数形式。

③ no one, nobody,
nothing所表示的“没人”或“没东西”是泛指的概念,即说话人不知具体是什么人或物;而none则是特指的概念,即说话人是在表示上文已确定的人或事物当中没有一个。如:

(7)one (ones),the one (the ones), that
(those)
① one用来替代前面出现的单数可数名词,是泛指概念,相当于a/an +
前面的单数可数名词,ones是它的复数形式;the one则表示特指,有时也可用that替代,相当于the +
前面特指的单数可数名词;the ones及those则是它们的复数形式。如:
Mr. Zhang gave me a very valuable present,
one (=a present) that I had never seen.
The book on the desk is better than the
one/that (=the book) under the desk.
② that除了可以替代单数可数名词,还可以替代不可数名词,相当于the +
前面的不可数名词。如:

weather) in Beijing.
③ 如果替代的是前面可数名词所表示的同一件(些)事物,则需用it
或they(them)。the one, that(those)仅表示是同一类,但不是同一件(些)。试比较:

one.(同类中的某一件)
The hat you bought is bigger than that I
bought.(同类但不是同一件)
I can't find my hat. I don' t know where I

others
①
another修饰或代替单数可数名词,意为“(三个或三个以上的)另一个”,不能指两者中的另一个。

another (coat).
注意:another + 数词 + 复数名词时,意为“再,又”。如:

②
other只作定语,不能单独使用,其后跟的是可数名词复数或不可数名词。其表示的“其他的,另外的”是泛指概念。如:

Some people like tea, others like coffee
and others like milk.
④ the other特指“两者中的另一个”。若the
other后跟复数可数名词,则指“其余的人或物”。如:
One of my brothers is named Richard, the
other named Frank.
Two of the experts are from the USA and the
other experts from China.
⑤ the others相当于the other +
复数名词,它不能做定语,其后不可再跟名词。如:
Only some students are in the classroom.
Where are the others (=the other students)?
(9)复合不定代词
① 复合不定代词都不可接of短语,但some one, every one, any
one都是两个词,之后可接of短语,但no one不可接of短语。
② 不定代词 anybody,everybody,nobody,anyone,
someone, everyone,no one, 在正式场合使用时,可用he, his, him代替。如:
