如: something, someone, anyone, nobody, somewhere, anywhere, nowhere等.
二、用法
1. 通常情况下含有some的不定代词/副词,如: something, somebody, someone, somewhere常用于肯定句;含有any的不定代词/副词,如:anything, anybody, anyone, anywhere用于否定句和疑问句.如:
There is something wrong with your eyes.
你的眼睛有毛病了.
但在表示请求、建议、反问等疑问句中,问话者希望得到肯定答复时,常用含有some的不定代词/副词,如: something, somebody, someone, somewhere等.如:
另外,anyone, anywhere也可用在肯定句中,表示“任何人”,“无论哪里”.如:
Anyone can do this.
任何人都会做这个.
You may leave your bag anywhere in the room.
2. 复合不定代词表示单数概念,作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.如:
Everything begins to grow in spring.
春天万物开始生长.
3. 复合不定代词被形容词、动词不定式等修饰时,形容词和动词不定式等应置于其后.如:
I have something important to tell you.
我有重要的事情告诉你.
4. 在反意疑问句中,表示人的复合不定代词在陈述句中作主语时,附加疑问句中的主语要用he或they;表示物的复合不定代词在陈述句中作主语时,附加疑问句中的主语要用it.如:
