請看下面一道高考題：

You may drop in or just give me a call. ______ will do. (２０06安徽)

A. EitherB. EachC. NeitherD. All

答案為A。“你可以來看我或給我打個電話，任何一個都行。”此題考查不定代詞either的用法，類似的不定代詞還有：neither， all， both， none， any等?？雌饋砑姺睆碗s，但實際上，如果掌握了這些詞的用法和此類題的解題思路，就再簡單不過了。我們可以通過下面表格記住這些不定代詞的用法。

值得注意的是：

1. 英語中的all...not 和both...not與中文意思區(qū)別較大，容易與漢語混淆。

如：All the girls don’t like skirts. =Not all the girls like skirts. 不是所有的女孩都喜歡裙子。

2. “每個”的全部否定:“no one”指人，“no + 名詞”指物。

思路點撥：

1)由上表可知，以上這些不定代詞所指的數(shù)量不同，所以解題時首先要分清指代的是幾個，是每個、兩個還是三者及以上。

2)判斷含義：都，任何一個，是全部否定，還是部分否定。

牛刀小試：

I have no idea which was better， so I took _____ of them.

A. anyB. everyC. noneD. both

【解析】由better可知，指代兩者，由句意“我不知道哪個好，所以我兩個都帶走了”可知“兩者都”，故答案為D。
