代詞之后:該單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)?
全面掌握代詞,除了要關(guān)注每種代詞的不同用法,還需要注意代詞及其先行項在“數(shù)”、“性”和“人稱”方面的一致關(guān)系。今天,小編先跟大家聊聊代詞及其先行項的在“數(shù)”方面一致。
代詞和物主限定詞單、復(fù)數(shù)形式的選擇通常取決于它們的指示對象,即先行項的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式。舉例來說,All members of the group have already made their decisions. 這里,all members是指示對象(先行項),所以其后的代詞選用their。關(guān)于代詞單、復(fù)數(shù)形式的選擇,我們還需要注意以下幾點:
1.?先行項為every-,some-等復(fù)合詞時:語法一致原則,代詞一般用單數(shù):
???Anybody can come here if he is interested.
??注:當(dāng)先行項為everybody,everyone時,代詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)更為自然。
???? ??Everyone was clapping their hands.
???? ??當(dāng)先行項為everything,anything,something,nothing時,代詞用單數(shù)。
????? ?Everything in the bag is broken, isn’t it?
2. ?先行項為并列結(jié)構(gòu)時:意義一致原則。
? My friend and roommate has done well in her?exam, so she is happy now.
? My friend and roommate have agreed to lend?their?bikes to me.
3. 先行項為集體名詞時:意義一致原則。 ????
???The team has won its first game.
???The team are now preparing themselves for the next game.
3. 先行項為“...+each”時:
?若each在動詞后,代詞則為單數(shù):They had each his own problem.
?若each在動詞前,代詞則為復(fù)數(shù):They each had their problems.
