知识依托:“another+数词+复数可数名词”表示在原有基础上多出的数量。
错解分析:B、C迷惑性较大。
因other、more也有“再”“又”之意,但位置与another 不同。
解题方法与技巧:必须记清表达方式,数词+more/other+复数可数名词。
答案:A例:I’ve got another three books.I’ve got three more/other books.2.—Why don’t we take a little br eak?—Didn’t we just have________?A.itB.thatC.oneD.this(NMET2000)命题意图:考查学生对表示特指事物的代词和表示泛指事物的代词的区别,属四星级题目。
知识依托:one代替单数可数名词,但泛指物。
错解分析:A项选择迷惑性较大。
因人称代词it和不定代词one都可以代替单数可数名词,但it指特定事物。
解题方法与技巧:答语中用one泛指第一个对话者询问的a little break。
答案:C●锦囊妙计不定代词的种类较多,用法各异,下面分别进行介绍。
1.one,some与any的用法one可以泛指任何人,还可以在形容词和that、this等词后代替刚提过的可数名词,其复数形式为ones,可用作主语和宾语;one’s是它的物主代词形式,可用作宾语;oneself 是它的反身代词形式,可用作宾语。
some和any通常用作定语,都可用来修饰可数与不可数名词、单数或复数名词。
some用于单数可数名词前,表示“某一”。
some用于数词前,表示“大约”。
some一般用于肯定句,any多用于疑问、否定句中。
例如:One should wash oneself regularly.This film is not as good as the one I saw yesterday.He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones.We have some food left.Have you any books?I don’t have any books.注意:①some可用于表达邀请或请求、预期的答案是肯定的或鼓励对方给予一个肯定的答复的问句。
例如:Could you let me have some coffee?(请求)Would you like some bananas?(邀请)②some和any可用作主语和宾语。
例如:Some are singing,others are dancing.(主语)Does any of you know Mr Wang?(主语)I don’t like any of the books。
(宾语)③some,any,every,no与one,body,thing构成的合成代词都作单数看待。
另外,some的合成代词一般用于肯定句,any的合成代词一般用于否定句、疑问句和条件从句。
例如:Did anybody ask for you outside?There is somebody waiting for you.2.each,every的用法①each强调个体,可以充当宾语、定语、主语和同位语,every强调整体,相当于汉语的“每个都”,在句中只作定语。
例如:The teacher had a talk with each of them.(宾语)Each of us has two boxes.(主语)We have two boxes each.(同位语)Each boy has a bike.(定语)Every one has strong and weak points.(定语)② each所代表的数可以是两个或两个以上,而every所指的数必须是三个以上。
例如: Each of the two has won a prize.Every student in the class likes English.There is a line of trees on each side of the river.3.none和no的用法:①no=no any在句中作定语,修饰可数或不数名词。
none在句中作主语或宾语。
none 不能用来说明两个人或物。
例如:There is no water in the well(井).(定语)None of them know the story.(主语)I know none of them.(宾语)②none代替不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;代替可数名词作主语时,谓语动词可用单数,也可用复数。
例如:None of the students are(is)afraid of difficulties。
③none不能回答who的问题,可回答how many或how much的问题,例如:(误)—Who is in the classroom?—None.(改None为No one或Nobody)(正)—How many students are there in the classroom?—None.4.many和much的用法many和much都表示“许多”, many修饰可数名词,much修饰不可数名词,都可用作主语、宾语和定语。
例如:Many of the students often go shopping.(主语)I have much to do.(宾语)There is not much water in the cup.(定语)much有时用作状语,例如:He likes playing football very much。
(状语)5.few,little;a few,a little的用法①few和little表示没有多少,含否定意义;而a few与a little表示有一些,有几个,含肯定意义。
另外,few与a few修饰可数名词,而little与a little修饰不可数名词,它们在句中常用作定语、主语和宾语。
例如:He knows a little English.(定语)He has many books.But few are interesting.(主语)I know a little about Japanese(宾语)②a few,a little可以用quite或only修饰,few和 little则不能。
例如:—How much water is left?—Only a little./Qutie a little.—How many books are left?—Only a few./Quite a few.6.other和 anotherother泛指“另外的”,作定语,常与复数名词或单数不可数名词连用,但如果前面有the,this,that,some,any,each,every,no,none,one,or以及形容词性物主代词时,则可与单数名词连用。
例如:all other rice,no other way,the other one,any other plant,every other day,some other reason等等。
others是other的复数形式,泛指“别的人或物”(但不是全部)。
