(七)连接代词
初中阶段所学的连接代词有who,whom,what,whose,which。它们用来连接宾语从句或表语从句。例如:
A policeman asked who Miss Brown was.一个警察问道,谁是布朗小姐。
Do you know whose pen it is?你知道这是谁的钢笔吗?
I didn't hear what he said.我没有听见他都说了些什么。
Can you guess which team will win the game?你能猜出哪一个队能赢得比赛吗?
(八)不定代词
在所有的代词中,不定代词的用法是最复杂的,稍不注意,就会用错。英语中的不定代词有:some,any,many,much,each,every,either,neither,both,all,one,none,no one,other,another以及由some, any,no,every构成的复合不定代词。
somebody,someone,something,anybody,anyone,anything,nobody, nothing,everything,everybody,等。不定代词在句中可作主语、宾语和表语。不定代词在使用时比较复杂,容易搞错。下面谈谈几种容易混淆的不定代词的用法。
1)some和any
(1)some一般用在肯定句中,any用在否定句和疑问句中。例如:
I have some coins in my wallet.我钱包里有几枚硬币。
Is there any juice in the bottle?瓶子里还有果汁吗?
(2)并不是说,在所有的问句中都要用any。在表示劝告、请求和建议的问句中用some,不用any。例如:
Would you like some chocolate?你要吃些巧克力吗?
Could you give him some bananas?你能给他一些香蕉吗?
(3)any还表示“(三个以上的人或物中的)任何一个”。注意与 either的区别。试比较:
Ask either of your parents to answer my call.请你父亲或母亲来接电话。
Any of our students can borrow books from the library.我们任何一个学生都能从图书馆借阅图书。
2)many和much
many用来修饰或代替可数名词,much用来修饰或代替不可数名词。a lot of相当于many或much,后接可数名词和不可数名词,一般只用在肯定句中。例如:
Eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth.吃太多的糖对你的牙齿不好。
Many people hate polluted air.许多人讨厌污染了的空气。
Can he give you much money?他能给你很多钱吗?
