语法小知识:代词及其先行项的“数”的一致

同学们在使用代词时,常会有疑问:代词的数应该根据什么进行选择呢?这个问题常困扰大家,不应担心,沪江小编为大家整理了全面的解析,一起来看看吧~

 

当先行项为everyone, everybody, on one, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody等复合词时,代词以及相应的限定词通常按照语法一致原则用单数形式。

例如:

Anybody can attend the meeting if he is interested.

Everybody talked at the top of his voice.

If anyone calls, tell him I’ll be back later.

 

但在非正式语体中也可以根据意义一致的原则,用复数代词。

例如:

Someone left their umbrella behind yesterday.

No one could have blamed themselves for that.

 

先行项为某些并列结构时,一般根据该并列结构的单、复数意义来决定代词以及相应限定词的单、复数形式。

例如:

My friend and roommate has agreed to lend me his car.

My friend and my roommate have agreed to lend me their car.

 

当先行项为某些集体名词时,随后的代词以及相应的限定词应依据该集体名词用于何种意义而定。

例如:

The team has won its first game.

The team are now on the floor taking their shots at the basket.

 

当先行项为“复数名词或代词 + each”时,代词的选择。当先行项为复数名词或代词作句子主语并带有each作同位语时,如果each 出现在动词之前,随后的人称代词或相应的限定词用复数;如果each 位于动词之后,随后的人称代词或相应的限定词用单数。

例如:

They each had their problems.

They had each his own problem.

 

看完了小编为大家呈上的解析,是不是清晰多了呢?以后就不用担心用错代词的数啦,赶快收藏哦~
