一、基本含義

復合不定代詞是由 some; any; no; every 和 body; thing; one 構成的合成詞。

body 用來表示人;thing 用來表示物;one 既可表示人也可表示物。

some 表示“某;任何”，用于肯定陳述句或用情態(tài)動詞引導的問句中;

any 表示“某”，用于否定句或問句中;

no 表示“沒有”，用于肯定句說明否定意義;

every 表示“每一”，用于肯定句或問句。

二、基本用法

1. 當疑問句表示請求、建議等肯定意義時，用 some 不用 any。如：

Would you like some tea？ 想喝點茶嗎？

2. 主謂一致性關系：復合不定代詞任何時候都看為單數(shù)，作主語時，謂語動詞使用單數(shù)形式。如：

Everybody in our class is interested in English. 我們班級的每個人都對英語感興趣。

3. 形容詞或 else 修飾復合不定代詞時，形容詞放在復合不定代詞后。如：

I have something important to tell you. 我有一些重要的事情要告訴你。

4. 在反義疑問句中，需代換復合不定代詞的人稱代詞：在使用人稱代詞代換復合不定代詞時，應考慮其是表示人還是表示物，表示人時用 they 代換;表示物時，用 it 代換。如：

Something is wrong with your computer， isn't it？ 你的電腦出了些問題，不是嗎？

Nobody has been there before， have they？ 沒有人之前來過這，是嗎？
