指示代词

指示代词包括:this, that, these, those。
1. this和these一般用来指在时间或空间上较近的事物或人,that和those则指时间和空间上较远的事物或人。如:
This is a pen and that is a pencil. // We are busy these days. // In those days the workers had a hard time.
2. 有时that和those指前面讲到过的事物,this 和these则是指下面将要讲到的事物。如:
I had a cold. That’s why I didn’t come. // What I want to say is this; pronunciation is very important in learning English.
3. 在比较级中,有时为了避免重复提到的名词,常可用that或those代替。如:
The weather in Beijing is colder than that in Guangzhou.
Television sets made in Beijing are just as good as those made in Shanghai.
4. this 在电话用语中代表自己(我),that 则代表对方(你)。如:Hello! This is Mary. Is that Jack speaking?
考点四、反身代词
英语中用来表示“我自己”,“你自己”,“他自己”,“我们自己”,“你们自己”等意义的代词称为反身代词,有人称和数的变化。反身代词是人称代词的强调形式,一般用在宾语和主语是同一人的情况下,或用来强调某人亲自怎样。单数后加self,复数后加selves;不定代词one也有反身代词oneself。反身代词可以在句中作宾语,表语,同位语。具体变化见下表:
第一人 称单数 | 第二人 称单数 | 第三人称单数 | 第一人称复数 | 第二人称复数 | 第三人称复数 | ||
阳性 | 阴性 | 中性 | |||||
myself (我自己) | yourself (你自己) | himself (他自己) | herself (她自己) | itself (它自己) | ourselves (我们自己) | yourselves (你们自己) | themselves (他们/她们/它们自己) |
1. 反身代词可以在句中作宾语,表语,同位语。意为“亲自”,“本人”。如:
I can’t express myself properly in English. (宾语) // This is myself. (表语)
He himself can not understand the idea. (主语同位语) // You should write the letter yourself. (宾语同位语)
2. 反身代词的常见搭配。如:enjoy oneself玩得高兴,过得愉快;hurt oneself 伤着自己;teach oneself=learn...by oneself 自学;(all) by oneself (完全)独立地;help oneself to请自便,随便吃……;look after oneself=take care of oneself自理,照顾自己;leave one by oneself 把……单独留下;lose oneself in 陶醉于,沉浸于;dress oneself 穿衣;make oneself at home不拘束,随便;wash oneself 洗澡。
1.It’s not safe to leave a baby in a car by (它自己).
答案 itself 本题考查反身代词。itself它自己。
2.However, every time you exercise, you put (你自己)at the risk of getting hurt, so remember to do it in a right way.
答案 yourself 句意:但是每一次你练习的时候,你都把自己置于受伤的风险中,因此记住要用正确的方法去做。考查反身代词。yourself你自己。
3.Now, she enjoys (her) when talking with us every day.
答案 herself 本题考查反身代词。enjoy oneself过得开心,故填herself。
考点五、不定代词
代替或修饰不特指的人或事物的代词叫不定代词。不定代词通常可以做主语、宾语、表语、定语。
1. 常用的普通不定代词有:all, each, every, both, either, neither, one, none, little, few, many, much, other, another, some, any, no等。
(1)every 只能做定语,none, no不能做定语。
(2)不定代词many, few, a few修饰可数名词复数,much, little, a little修饰不可数名词。
(3)both, either, neither, each用于指两者,all, any, none, every, another用于指三者或三者以上。
(4)大部分不定代词可用于“of+名词”结构。注意这一结构中的名词前必须有限定的词语修饰。如:
some of the students不能说some of students;each of the boys不能说each of boys等等。
2. 复合不定代词有12个:something (某事), someone (某人), somebody (某人), anything (任何事), anyone (任何人), anybody (任何人), nothing (没事), nobody (没有人), no one (没有人), everything (一切), everyone (每个人), everybody (每个人)。
(1)复合不定代词做主语时,谓语用单数。如:Something is wrong with the bike. // There isn’t anything in the room.
(2)复合不定代词被形容词或不定式修饰时,形容词或不定式要位于不定代词之后。如:
There is something wrong with the Radio. // I have something to tell you.
(3)含有some, any, every 的复合代词不能做定语。
