代词
1.不定代词(all , both, every, each, either, neither, more, little, few, much, many, another, other, some, any , one, no 以及some, something, anything, everything, somebody/one, anybody, anyone, nothing , nobody, no one, none, everybody/one.等。) 可作主语,当作主语时,要明确这一不定代词究竟是单数还是复数,以确定它和谓语动词在人和数的一致。
Someone is waiting for you at the school gate, but I have no idea who they are.
All 的主谓一致:all的单复数由它所修饰或指代的名词的单复数决定。不说 all the book,而说 the whole book。
但all可与表时间的可数名词单数连用,如 all day,all night,all the year;但习惯上不说 all hour,all century。all China,all the city,all my life,all the way
both, all 都可作同位语,其位置在行为动词前be 动词之后。如果助动词或情态动词后面的实义动词省去,则位于助动词或情态动词之前。
2.不定代词还可作定语。当作定语时,应该注意其所修饰的名词是可数还是不可数,以确定这个名词用单数还是复数。
例:1) Much has been done to fight pollution; 2) Each of them has got a present.
3) He said something was lost, but he didn’t say what it was.
Anything but绝对不. nothing but只有,只不过。None but除非;all but几乎,差不多 everything but除了
