复合不定代词
不指明代替任何特定名词或形容词的代词叫不定代词，它们有some, any, much, many等以及由every-, some-, any-, no-加上-thing, -body, -one构成的复合不定代词。

下面我们主要学习有关复合不定代词的内容。

一、复合不定代词的分类
指物：everything, something, anything, nothing
指人：everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody
everyone, someone, anyone, no one
二、复合不定代词的用法
1. ◆some-类的复合不定代词一般用于肯定句中。

如：
There is somebody at the door.
◆any-类的复合不定代词一般用于否定句或疑问句中，表示“某事；某物；某人”；
也可用于肯定句或条件从句中，表示“任何东西；任何人”。

如：
There isn't anything in the box.
Did you see anybody there?
If anybody comes here, please ask him to wait.
[注意]
在一般疑问句中，当问话人希望得到对方的肯定回答时，用要some-类的复合不定代词；当问话人只是提出问题，而对回答的期待没有倾向性时，则用any-类的复合不定代词。

试比较：
a. Do you have something to tell me?
有事要告诉我吧？
b. Do you have anything to tell me?
有什么事要告诉我吗？
句a表示说话人期望有事告诉他，而句b无此含义。

又如：
a. Did somebody telephone last night?
昨晚有人来电话了吧？
b. Did anybody telephone last night?
昨晚有人来过电话吗？
句a意味着说话人期望或预料有人来过电话，而句b无此含义。

◆no-类的复合不定代词表示否定的意义。

如：
We looked but saw nothing.
2. 复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词常用单数形式。

如：
Everybody knows he sings well.
3. 复合不定代词若有定语(形容词或不定式)修饰时，定语要放在其后。

如：
There's nothing new about this.
I want something to eat.
