英语中代词的用法代词是代替名词的一种词类。
大多数代词具有名词和形容词的功能。
英语中的代词,按其意义、特征及在句中的作用分为:人称代词、物主代词、指示代词、自身代词、相互代词、疑问代词、关系代词和不定代词八种。
一、人称代词是表示"我"、"你"、"他"、"她"、"它"、"我们"、"你们"、"他们"的词。
人称代词有人称、数和格的变化,见下表:数单数复数格主格宾格主格宾格第一人称I me we us第二人称you you you youhe him they them第三人称she her hey themit it t they them主格作主语或表语,如:He is my friend. 他是我的朋友。
It’s me. 是我。
宾格作及物动词和介词的宾语, 还可作表语. Aunt Li took care of us. Who is knocking at the door It's me.二、物主代词表示所有关系的代词,也可叫做代词所有格。
物主代词分形容性物主代词和名词性物主代词二种,其人物和数的变化见下表。
形容词性物主代词my your his/her itsour your their名词性物主代词mine yours his/hers itsours yours/ theirs形容词性物主代词只能做定语,修饰名词,相当于形容词,如:I like his car. 我喜欢他的小汽车。
名词性物主代词可以做主语、宾语和表语,相当于名词, 如:Our school is here,and theirs is there. 我们的学校在这儿,他们的在那儿。
三、指示代词表示"那个"、"这个"、"这些"、"那些"等指示概念的代词。
指示代词有this,that,these,those 等。
如:That is a good idea. 那是个好主意。
四、表示"我自己"、"你自己"、"他自己"、"我们自己"、"你们自己"和"他们自己"等的代词,叫做自身代词,也称为"反身代词"。
反身代词表示主语发生的动作落在主语自己身上,或用来加强名词或代词的语气。
如:She was talking to herself. 她自言自语。
I hope he didn't hurt herself. She taught herself English.五、表示相互关系的代词叫相互代词,有each other和one another两组,但在运用中,这两组词没什么区别。
如:They love each other. 他们彼此相爱。
六、不是指明代替任何特定名词的代词叫做不定代词。
常见的不定代词有a11,both,each,every等,以及含有some-,any-,no-等的合成代词,如anybody,something,none。
这些不定代词大都可以代替名词和形容词,在句中作主语、宾语、表语和定语,但none和由some,any,no等构成的复合不定代词只能作主语、宾语或表语;every和no只能作定语。
如:---Do you have a car? --你有一辆小汽车吗?---Yes,I have one. --是的,我有一辆。
---I don’t know any of them. 他们,我一个也不认识。
