一、基本规则类
1. 单数不定代词作主语
Someone is waiting for you.(有人在等你)
Anyone can do it.(任何人都能做)
Everyone needs to be careful.(每个人都需要小心)
Nothing is impossible.(没有什么是不可能的)
Something is wrong with the machine.(机器出故障了)
2. 复数不定代词作主语
All are here.(所有人都在这里)
Any are welcome.(欢迎任何来客)
Both are right.(两者都对)
Others are planning a party.(其他人正在计划一个聚会)
二、特殊用法类
1. 所有格不定代词作主语
Anyone's book on the table is mine.(桌子上的任何一本书都是我的)
Everyone's opinion matters.(每个人的观点都很重要)
2. 疑问句和否定句
Is anyone calling you?(有人在给你打电话吗?)
Neither of the answers is correct.(两个答案都不正确)
三、易混淆点辨析
all:当指人时(如all the students),谓语用复数;当指物时(如all the water),谓语用单数
either/neither:总是与单数谓语连用
复合不定代词:如someone+anyone,谓语用单数
注:若不定代词指代单数可数名词,谓语用单数;若指代复数可数名词,谓语用复数。需根据具体语境判断所指代内容。
