代詞的單、復數形式的選擇通常取決于它們的指示對象,即先行項的單、復數形式。舉例:
All members of the group have already made their decisions. 這里,all members是指示對象(先行項),所以其后的代詞選用their。關于代詞單、復數形式的選擇,我們還需要注意以下幾點:
1. 先行項為any-,some-等復合詞時:語法一致原則,代詞一般用單數:
Anybody can come here if he is interested.
注:當先行項為everybody,everyone時,代詞一般用復數更為自然。
Everyone was clapping their hands.
當先行項為everything,anything,something,nothing時,代詞用單數。
Everything in the bag is broken, isn’t it?
2. 先行項為并列結構時:意義一致原則。
My friend and roommate has done well in her exam, so she is happy now.
My friend and roommate have agreed to lend their bikes to me.
3. 先行項為集體名詞時:意義一致原則。
The team has won its first game.
The team are now preparing themselves for the next game.
3. 先行項為“... each”時:
若each在動詞后,代詞則為單數:They had each his own problem.
若each在動詞前,代詞則為復數:They each had their problems.
