everyone是单数还是复数 everyone为什么是单数
来自VOA的[ Ask a Teacher ] Everyone and Every One (2021/9/24) 节选
Everyone和every one有什么区别?单独看这两个单词短语似乎很难区分,但是相信通过下面的讲解,以及看到用法,你会很容易分辨出来。起码,你做选择题不会错!
一、Everyone
1、It is a singular pronoun used when we talk about a group of people. Here is an example:
Danny brought enough birthday cake for everyone to eat.
(丹尼尔带了足够多的蛋糕给大家吃)
解答:
Everyone是一个单数代词,指代一群人的时候使用。我们完全可以用everybody代替everyone,这是一个检验你表达中的everyone是否用对的很好方法。
例:Everybody (everyone) gave money for Danny&39;s birthday presents.
二、Every one
1、We use this expression to talk about the individuals or individual things in a group. The expression often follows a general statement and comes before the word &34;of.&34; Returning to the birthday party, we can find this example:
Danny got six presents and every one of them made him smile.
(丹尼尔收到了6个礼物,每一个都让他开心地笑了起来)
解答:我们用every one来表达一个群体中的个人或者单个事物,这个表达经常跟在一般性描述之后,它的后面经常加“of”。
2、Note that we cannot use the singular pronouns &34;everyone&34; or &34;everybody&34; to talk about objects. We only use them for people. But we can use &34;every one&34; if we want to talk about people or things. For example:
At the end of the party, every one of the guests thanked Danny for inviting them.
(派对结束之后,每一个客人都感谢丹尼尔邀请了他们)
解答:注意我们不能用everyone或者everybody来表示物体,我们只用这两个词指代人。如果我们想讨论人或者物体,我们可以用every one。
everyone和every one的不同
三、everyone是单数还是复数?谓语动词用单数,代词用复数!非常容易错。
这里很多人会有疑问:everyone肯定是单数啊。
没错,我们都知道everyone是单数,但是当everyone当作一个句子的主语时,它却可以表示很多人,everyone后的代词可以用复数代词来替换.
例:
After everyone ate Denny’s birthday cake, they all said the cake was delicious.
(当所有人吃了丹尼尔的生日蛋糕以后,都夸奖蛋糕味道很好。)
这里的they是复数代词,是指代everyone,是一群人。
但是,如果everyone后面直接跟谓语动词,一定要用第三人称复数:
例:
Everyone was invited to Denny&39;s birthday party.
(每一个人都被邀请来参加丹尼尔的生日派对)
再举一个例子:
Has everyone finished their drinks?
在非常正式的情况下才用单数,但是这样显得很臃肿:
Has everyone finished his or her drink?
