复合不定代词

复合不定代词是由some, any, no, every加-body, -thing, -one构成.

1.初中阶段常用复合不定代词列表如下：

Somebody 某人 Someone 某人 Something 某物，某事 Nobody 没有人 No one 没有人 Nothing 没有东西 Anybody 任何人 Anyone 任何人 Anything 任何事物 Everybody 每人 Everyone 每人 Everything 一切 Eg：Listen to me, boys and girls. I have something to tell you. 同学们，听我说，我有一些事情要告诉你们。 Do you have anything special to tell me today? 今天你有什么特别的事要告诉我吗？ 2.复合不定代词的定语位置

当形容词或else修饰复合不定代词时，形容词或else必须放在这些词的后面。如： Xiaoming, he has something important to tell you. Can you find anyone else?

3.everyone的意思等同于everybody，只能指人； every one 即可指人也可指物，还可以和Of短语连用。

I’d like everyone to be happy. I have kept every one of her letters.

4.当句子的主语是指人的复合不定代词，如:everybody, nobody, anyone时，其反义疑问句主语通常用代词they；当句子的主语是指物的复合不定代词，如：everything, anything,something等时，其反义疑问句的主语通常用代词it. 如： Everybody is here, aren’t they?

Everything is ready, isn’t it?

3. 复合不定代词与谓语的一致问题

复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 Everything that glittered is not gold. Nothing was left for him by his father. 4.复合不定代词间的用法区别

1．大家都知道，带some的复合不定代词一般用于肯定句；而带any的复合不定代词常用在否定句，如：I have something important to tell you.

但是，带some 的复合不定代词也可以用在表示说话人希望得到肯定回答或表示请求，建议，询问的疑问句中。如： Would you like ______ to eat?

A. something B anyting C. everything D nothing 显而易见，期待肯定回答，选A.

2. 带any的复合不定代词用在肯定句中带有“任何人，任何事”的意思。 Anyone who breaks the law will be thrown into prison. As a teacher, I would do anything for my students.

3. 指人的复合不定代词合写与分开写，其意思和用法不同，以any为例。 anyone 仅指人 任何人，某人， 不和of连用

any one 即指人，也指物， 任何一个的意思 可以于of连用 Anyone can do the job. Any one of us can do the job.

4. 一般情况下，用nothing 回答以what 开头的问题，nobody (no one) 回答who 开头的问题。

-----What’s on the table? ----- Nothing.

-----Who is in the classroom?-------- Nobody. (No one).
