不定代詞

　　一、“every”(每一個)只作為定語使用，即必須在其后加上單數可數名詞構成名詞短語，它不可與everyone(每一個)混淆。 everyone相當于名詞，它不可修飾其他名詞，只作主語或賓語

　　1) Every [A] knows that hospitals are institutions where the sick are treated， but how many [B] realize that they were once [C] homes for the indigent and the friendless [D] ?

　　2) Everyone [A] child in the United States must [B] receive [C] some form of educational instruction [D] .

　　例題解析

　　1) A錯。every不可單獨充當句子成分，應在其后加上person或改為everyone.

　　2) A錯。改為Every，修飾child.

　　二、“much”和“many”分別修飾不可數名詞和可數名詞，可作為代詞(如much of)和形容詞使用

　　3) Food seasoning plays an important [A] role in the cooking [B] customs of much [C] cultures in [D] the world.

　　4) The general sales tax has been [A] a major source of income for state governments， much [B] of which derive more than half [C] of their budgets from [D] it.

　　5) Data received from [A] two spacecraft indicate that there is many evidence [B] that huge thunderstorms are now occurring [C] around the equator [D] of the planet Saturn.

　　例題解析

　　3) C錯。應改為of many，因為被修飾詞cultures為可數名詞，故其修飾語應用many，而much要修飾不可數名詞。

　　4) B錯。應改用many，因此處所指代的是可數名詞governments(復數)，many在本句中為代詞，作非限定性定語從句的主語。

　　5) B錯。應改為much evidence，因為evidence(證據，跡象)為不可數名詞，故應用much來修飾。
