用法辨析
- neither常用在不帶冠詞的單數(shù)名詞之前,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。
- neither用作代詞時(shí)表示“兩者都不”,可單獨(dú)使用,用于沒(méi)有冠詞、物主代詞、指示代詞等限定詞修飾的單數(shù)名詞前,用作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用作單數(shù)形式,也可以和介詞of連用,后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞或人稱代詞,名詞前面一定要有限定詞修飾。
- neither作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞在大多數(shù)情況下用第三人稱單數(shù)形式,但在neither of...后可以用單數(shù)形式,也可以用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
- 在一個(gè)否定性陳述以后,可用neither表示這一否定性陳述也同樣適用于另一人或另一事物,常用來(lái)接別人的話,引起一個(gè)主句或從句。
- neither可用在句子的開頭或用在簡(jiǎn)略答語(yǔ)中,表示“也不”, neither前可有and或but,后接倒裝語(yǔ)序。
- neither用作連詞常與nor一起連用,連接兩個(gè)相同成分,如兩個(gè)主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ),意思是“既不…也不”。
- 如果連接的是兩個(gè)主語(yǔ),句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的人稱和數(shù)取決于nor后面的離動(dòng)詞最近的名詞或代詞的人稱和數(shù)。
