您可能有代名词上的错误。代名词是用来取代一个或多个名词的字,例如he, his, she, her, hers, it, they, their, them, these, that, this, those, who, whom, which, what, whose。
若我们没有代名词,我们就会需要重复很多名词。比方说:
Do you like the new manager? I don't like the new manager. The new manager is too unfriendly.
若有代名词,我们就可以说:
Do you like the new manager? I don't like him. He is too unfriendly.
1. 代名词必须与它们取代的名词相符。
若您的代名词指的是一个女孩或妇女,您必须使用女性代名词(she, her, hers)。若您的代名词指的是一个男孩或男人,您必须使用男性代名词(he, his, him)。
您使用的任何代名词必须与它指的名词在数量上相符。若您使用代名词取代单数名词,您必须使用单数代名词;若您使用代名词取代复数名词,您必须使用复数代名词。例如:
Julia reminded us that that she would not stay late.
Bob bought two computers and had them delivered to his office.
在第一个例子中,单数代名词she 用来代表一位女性,Julia。在第二个例子中,复数代名词them 用来代表一个复数名词, computers。
2. 有些代名词(称为不定代名词) 永远是单数的。
诸如each, one, every, everyone, everybody, anyone, anybody, anything, someone, somebody, either, neither, nothing, nobody, none及 no one等不定代名词永远是单数,因此,它们的代名词也应该是单数,如以下的例子:
Neither of the boys sent in his report.
Everyone must buy her own ticket.
您可以请教您的指导教师有关第二个句子的文法。有些人较偏好his or her 以表示每一个人都在买票,无论个人的性别。有些指导教师认为his or her 听起来不顺畅,而允许把 everyone 当成复数 (Everyone must buy their own ticket)。其他指导教师认为在这个例子中,复数代名词是错误的用法。
3. 有些不定代名词永远是复数的。
这些包括both和 many。它们的代名词也应该是复数。例如,
Both of them are here tonight.
Many of the managers have moved into their new offices.
在第一个例子中, both 是复数, 因此应该使用复数代名词them。在第二个例子中,我们使用复数代名词their 因为many 是复数。
4. 有些不定代名词可以为单数或复数。
诸如all, any, more, most, none, 及 some 等不定代名词可以是单数或复数,例如,
Most of my time is spent revising for the test.
Most of the students have turned in their reports.
在第一个例子里,most 指的是单数名词 time。它该使用单数动词is。在第二个例子里,most 指的是复数名词students。这也是为什么它使用的是复数动词have,并用复数的their 来代表它。
5. 过度使用代名词可能造成混淆。例如:
若您的代名词指的是一个女孩或妇女,您必须使用女性代名词(she, her, hers)。若您的代名词指的是一个男孩或男人,您必须使用男性代名词(he, his, him)。
您使用的任何代名词必须与它指的名词在数量上相符。若您使用代名词取代单数名词,您必须使用单数代名词;若您使用代名词取代复数名词,您必须使用复数代名词。例如:
Julia reminded us that that she would not stay late.
Bob bought two computers and had them delivered to his office.
在第一个例子中,单数代名词she 用来代表一位女性,Julia。在第二个例子中,复数代名词them 用来代表一个复数名词, computers。

5. 过度使用代名词可能造成混淆。例如:
混淆: The President informed the Vice President that all of his supporters should be meeting with him.
谁的支持者?总统的还是副总统的?他们与谁见面?这句子需要被重新修改,以避免代名词(him 和 his)所造成的混淆。修改的办法即是用适当的名词来取代代名词。
清晰: The Present informed the Vice President that all of the President's supporters should be meeting with the President.
过度使用it 让您的写作语调显得模糊,尤其是使用it 来开始一个句子,如以下的例子:
混淆: We were visiting the museum. I saw it. It was interesting and unusual. I was amazed by it.
只要解释第一个it 指的是什麽就可以让整个句子变得较清晰。例如,
清晰: We were visiting the museum. I saw the space exhibit. It was interesting and unusual. I was amazed by it.
或者,在以下的例子中,您能猜出it 指的是什麽吗?
Although the car hit the tree, it was not damaged.
it 指的是车还是树? 您可以重写这个句子让它更加清楚。例如,
The car was not damaged, although it hit the tree.
6. 当您有用连结词(and, or, nor)连在一起的名词时,千万别忘了使用正确的代名词, 例如:
If Bob and Rick want to go, they will need to take the bus because I don't have room in my car.
Whether I buy a dish washer or dryer, it will have to go in the kitchen.
在第一个例子中,这是一个複合主词,因为Bob 与 Rick 是用连接词and 连在一起的。因此,需要使用複数代名词they 。在第二个例子中,名词是单数的 (dish washer or dryer)。所以该使用单数代名词"it" 。
7. 何时使用 who, whom, which, 或 that.
Who 与 whom 指的是人。Which 指的是东西, 而 that 可以指的是人 或东西。例如:
The committee interviewed all the candidates who applied.
Do you still have the magazine that I lent you last week?
Which courses should I take in the fall?/p>
在第一个例子中, who 指的是一组人(candidates)。在第二个例子中,that 指的是东西(magazine)。在第三个例子中,which 指的是东西(courses)。
谁的支持者?总统的还是副总统的?他们与谁见面?这句子需要被重新修改,以避免代名词(him 和 his)所造成的混淆。修改的办法即是用适当的名词来取代代名词。
清晰: The Present informed the Vice President that all of the President's supporters should be meeting with the President.

总结: 一个代名词是用来取代一个或数个名词的字。单数代名词用来取代单数名词,而複数代名词必须用来取代複数名词。有些代名词可以是单数或複数,按照它们在句子中的意思。若您不了解在您的文章中显明标示的错误,您可以请教您的指导教师。使用图尼丁,进行论文查重,图尼丁系统基于:Turnitin CrossCheck ' Thenticate,适用于:毕业论文、留学生Essay、外文投稿,免费赠送检测码以及语法报告,并支持开设电子发票。
