二、常用不定代词用法举例
1.some 一些,某些,某个
不定代词some可以代替名词和形容词,常用在肯定句中作主语、宾语、定语等。作定语时,它可以修饰可数名词(单、复数皆可)和不可数名词。例如:

2.any一些,任何
不定代词any可以代替名词和形容词,常用在否定句或疑问句中作主语、宾语、定语等。作定语时,它可以修饰可数名词(多为复数)和不可数名词。例如:

不定代词any有时也可以用在肯定句中,表示"任何的"。例如:

1. some, any, every, no都能和one, body,thing一起构成代词,这些代词叫复合不定代词。它们基本含义为:
指
人 somebody
someone 某人 anybody
anyone
任何人 everybody
everyone每人 nobody
no one
没人
指物 Something某物某事 anything任何事物 everything一切 nothing没东西
2.一般情况下,some构成的复合不定代词,其作用和some相同,用于肯定句;any构成的复合不定代词用于否定句或疑问句;no构成的复合不定代词表示否定含义,用于否定句。如:
① I have something to tell you. 我有事要告诉你。
② He didn’t say anything at the meeting yesterday. 昨天在会上他没发言。
③ Everybody likes swimming. 每个人都喜欢游泳。
④ There is nothing wrong with your ears.

3. something可用于提建议或请求的问句中,以及希望说话对方作出肯定回答的问句中。如:
Would you like something to eat? 你要吃点东西吗?
4. 复合不定代词在句子中作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。如:
Nobody knows his name. 没有人知道他的名字。
5. 不定代词的定语要后置。如:
Is there anything important in today’s newspaper?今天的报纸上有什么重要新闻吗?
一般的,不定代词(包括复合不定代词)在句子中,通常用三单形式
复合不定代词即由some,any,no,every加body,thing,one构成,用来表示一个全部概念,分别表示人或物。在句子中可作主语、宾语、表语。由于用法上的习惯常为高考所青睐,下面就其常见考点分析如下:
一、与部分否定结下了深厚的情谊
部分否定是高考常考考点之一,常表达为:not+全部肯定词或全部肯定词+not,其意义为“并非都,不都”。前者为基本概念,通常,学生有一定的掌握;但后者与一般否定句相似,易引起学生判断上的失误,也是作者出题,命题的焦点。uniwant.com
1.I agree with most of what you said,but I don't agreewith____.
A.everything D.anything
C.something D.nothing
2.—The exam was difficult,wasn't it?
—No,but I don't think____could pass it.
A.somebody B.anybody
C.nobody D.everyboby
分析:1,A.由句意“我同意你说的大部分,而不是全部”,可看出后面表示部分否定,构成not…everything,即“并非每件事”。2,D.同理,“并非所有人都能通过”,部分否定概念,构成not…everybody,即“并非所有的人”,本题还应考虑否定转移。以上两题要求学生在作题时认真审题,仔细品味作者在题干中蕴涵的逻辑关系,灵活应用所学知识,取得满意效果。
二、在反意问句中考查对应的主语
反意疑问句在确定主语时,常被列为考点。当主语为表示人的复合不定代词时,疑问部分的主语常用they(有时也用he);当主语为表物的复合不定代词时,疑问部分的主语通常为it。
1.Nobody wants to waste time watching boring plays,____?
A.does it B.do they
C.is he D.are they
2.I am sure everything goes well,____?
A.doesn't it B.does they
C.doesn't everything D.aren't I
分析:1,B.句子主语为指人的复合不定代词,对应的主语是they,又为否定句,故选B。2,A.I'msure为插入语,句子主语为指物的复合不定代词,对应的主语是it,故选A。通过以上两题分析,要求学生思路清晰,运用所学知识,具体问题具体分析。
三、和定语从句也保持着一定的联系
指人、指物的复合不定代词常与定语从句结合考查,其重点在连接词选择问题上。当先行词为指物的不定代词时,关系代词为that,但something例外,既可用that也可用which。当先行词为指人的复合不定代词时,关系代词为who或that。注意作宾语的关系代词省略也是考查的重点。
1.Finally,the thief handed everything____he had stolen to thepolice.
A.which B.what
C.whatever D.that
2.____breaks the rule should be punished.
A.Those who B.Who
C.Anyone who D.The one
3.Now let's think of feedback as something____·
A.that we should make to work for us
B.we should make work for us
C.in which we should make work for us
D.we should make work for us in
分析:1,D.先行词everything,在定语从句中作stolen宾语。2,C.由定语从句谓语即可确定。3,B.先行词something在定语从句中作make宾语,省去了关系代词。以上试题可看出知识之间环环相扣,体现了高考试题中多元结构的考查。
四、复合不定代词的定语位置
修饰复合不定代词的形容词一般后置。注意它常与其它考点联系起来考查,看下面练习。
1.There is____in today's newspaper.
A.nothing specially interesting
B.specially interesting nothing
C. nothing specially intertesting
D.intertesting specially nothing
2.He asked me if there was____to read.
A.easy enough something
B.enough easy something
C.something easy enough
D.something enough easy
分析:1,A.interesting修饰nothing放其后,specially副词修饰形容词interesting。2,C.easy修饰something放其后,副词enough修饰easy,放其后。以上两题要求认真分析,弄清英语词序间修饰关系。
五、复合不定代词常用于简略回答中
一般情况下,用nothing回答以what开头的问句;nobody(no one)回答who开头的问句。
1.What's on the blackboard?
—Nothing.
2.—Who's in the classroom?
—Nobody(No one).
六、复合不定代词的一致问题
复合不定代词作主语,谓语动词用单数。
Everything is not in good order but at sixes and sevens.
Nothing except for a few books was left for him by hisfather.
七、复合不定代词间的用法区别
1.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于否定句、疑问句和条件句中。
I have something important to tell you.
If there is anything the matter with the machine,please let meknow.
2.带some的复合不定代词,用于疑问句,表示说话人希望得到肯定回答或表请求、建议、征询意见的句子中。
—Is____here?
—No.Bob and Tim have asked for leave.
A anybody B somebody C everybody D nobody 选C。
3.带any的复合不定代词,用于肯定句中,表示“任何人,任何事”。
Anyone who refused to bow was thrown intoprison.
As a teacher,I would do anything for my students.
4.带any的复合不定代词作主语,其后不能再用否定式,要表达否定概念,需用相对应的全部否定意义的词。
Anything could not be seen in that dark room.(×)
Anything could be seen in that dark room.(√)
5.指人的复合不定代词合写与分写,其意义与用法不同,以any为例:
anyone 仅指人 任何人,某人 不与of短语连用
anyone指人又指物 任何一个 可与of短语连用
Anyone can do the job.
Any one of us can do the job.
