1. 名詞
名詞可以分為專(zhuān)有名詞和普通名詞，專(zhuān)有名詞是某個(gè)（些）人，地方，機(jī)構(gòu)等專(zhuān)有的名稱(chēng)，如Beijing，China等。普通名詞是一類(lèi)人或東西或是一個(gè)抽象概念的名詞，如：book，sadness等。普通名詞又可分為下面四類(lèi)：

3. 代詞
代詞是代替名詞的詞類(lèi)。大多數(shù)代詞具有名詞和形容詞的功能。英語(yǔ)中的代詞，按其意義、特征及在句中的作用分為：人稱(chēng)代詞、物主代詞、指示代詞、自身代詞、相互代詞、疑問(wèn)代詞、關(guān)系代詞和不定代詞八種。
一、人稱(chēng)代詞是表示"我"、"你"、"他"、"她"、"它"、"我們"、"你們"、"他們"的詞。人稱(chēng)代詞有人稱(chēng)、數(shù)和格的變化，見(jiàn)下表：
數(shù) 單數(shù) 復(fù)數(shù)
格 主格 賓格 主格 賓格
第一人稱(chēng) I me we us
第二人稱(chēng) you you you you
第三人稱(chēng) he him they them
she her they them
it it they them
例如：He is my friend. 他是我的朋友。
It's me. 是我。
二、 物主代詞是表示所有關(guān)系的代詞，也可叫做代詞所有格。物主代詞分形容性物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞兩種，其人物和數(shù)的變化見(jiàn)下表。
數(shù) 單數(shù) 復(fù)數(shù)
人稱(chēng) 第一人稱(chēng) 第二人稱(chēng) 第三人稱(chēng) 第一人稱(chēng) 第二人稱(chēng) 第三人稱(chēng)
形容詞性物主代詞 my your his/her/its our your their
名詞性物主代詞 mine yours his/hers/its ours yours theirs
例如： I like his car. 我喜歡他的小汽車(chē)。
Our school is here，and theirs is there. 我們的學(xué)校在這兒，他們的在那兒。
三、 指示代詞表示"那個(gè)"、"這個(gè)"、"這些"、"那些"等指示概念的代詞。指示代詞有this，that，these，those等。
例如：That is a good idea. 那是個(gè)好主意。
四、 表示"我自己"、"你自己"、"他自己"、"我們自己"、"你們自己"和"他們自己"等的代詞，叫做自身代詞，也稱(chēng)為
"反身代詞"。
例如：She was talking to herself. 她自言自語(yǔ)。
五、 表示相互關(guān)系的代詞叫相互代詞，有each other 和one another兩組，但在運(yùn)用中，這兩組詞沒(méi)什么大的區(qū)別。
例如：They love each other. 他們彼此相愛(ài)。
六、 不是指明代替任何特定名詞的代詞叫做不定代詞。常見(jiàn)的不定代詞有a11，both，each，every等，以及含有some-，any-，no-等的合成代詞，如anybody， something，no one。這些不定代詞大都可以代替名詞和形容詞，在句中作主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)和定語(yǔ)，但none和由some，any，no等構(gòu)成的復(fù)合不定代詞只能作主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ)；every和no只能作定語(yǔ)。
例如：--- Do you have a car? --你有一輛小汽車(chē)嗎？
--- Yes，I have one. --是的，我有一輛。
--- I don't know any of them. 他們，我一個(gè)也不認(rèn)識(shí)。
七、 疑問(wèn)代詞有who，whom，whose，what和which等。在句子中用來(lái)構(gòu)成特殊疑問(wèn)句。疑問(wèn)代詞都可用作連接代詞，引導(dǎo)名詞性從句（主語(yǔ)從句、賓語(yǔ)從句和表語(yǔ)從句）
例如：Tell me who he is. 告訴我他是誰(shuí)。
八、 關(guān)系代詞有who，whom，whose，that，which，as等，可用作引導(dǎo)從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞。它們?cè)诙ㄕZ(yǔ)從句中可作主語(yǔ)、
表語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)等；另一方面它們又代表主句中為定語(yǔ)從句所修飾的那個(gè)名詞或代詞（先行詞）。
例如：He is the man whom you have been looking for. 他就是你要找的那個(gè)人。
3.1 人稱(chēng)代詞的用法
1）人稱(chēng)代詞的主格在句子中作主語(yǔ)或主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。例如：
John waited a while but eventually he went home. 約翰等了一會(huì)兒，最后他回家了。
John hoped the passenger would be Mary and indeed it was she. 約翰希望那位乘客是瑪麗，還真是她。
說(shuō)明：在復(fù)合句中，如果主句和從句主語(yǔ)相同，代詞主語(yǔ)要用在從句中，名詞主語(yǔ)用在主句中。例如：
When he arrived, John went straight to the bank. 約翰一到就直接去銀行了。
2）人稱(chēng)代詞的賓格在句子中作賓語(yǔ)或介詞賓語(yǔ)，但在口語(yǔ)中也能作主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)，第一人稱(chēng)在省略句中，還可以作主語(yǔ)。
例如： I saw her with them, at least, I thought it was her. 我看到她和他們?cè)谝黄穑辽傥艺J(rèn)為是她。（her做賓語(yǔ)，them做介詞賓語(yǔ)，her做主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)）
a. -- Who broke the vase? --誰(shuí)打碎了花瓶？
b. -- Me. --我。（me做主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)= It's me.）
說(shuō)明：在上面兩例句中，her和me分別作主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中多用賓格，在正式文體中這里應(yīng)為she和I。
3.2 人稱(chēng)代詞之主、賓格的替換
1） 賓格代替主格
a.在簡(jiǎn)短對(duì)話中，當(dāng)人稱(chēng)代詞單獨(dú)使用或在not 后，多用賓語(yǔ)。
---- I like English. --我喜歡英語(yǔ)。
---- Me too. --我也喜歡。
---- Have more wine? --再來(lái)點(diǎn)酒喝嗎?
---- Not me. --我可不要了。
b.在表示比較的非正式的文體中，常用賓格代替主格。 但如果比較狀語(yǔ)的謂語(yǔ)保留，則主語(yǔ)只能用主格。
He is taller than I/me.
He is taller than I am.
2） 主格代替賓格
a. 在介詞but，except 后，有時(shí)可用主格代替賓格。
b. 在電話用語(yǔ)中常用主格�！ �
---- I wish to speak to Mary. --我想和瑪麗通話。
---- This is she. --我就是瑪麗。
注意：在動(dòng)詞be 或to be 后的人稱(chēng)代詞視其前面的名詞或代詞而定。
I thought it was she. 我以為是她�！ 。ㄖ鞲�----主格）
I thought it to be her. （賓格----賓格）
I was taken to be she. 我被當(dāng)成了她�！ � （主格----主格）
They took me to be her. 他們把我當(dāng)成了她。 （賓格----賓格）
3.3 代詞的指代問(wèn)題
1）不定代詞 anybody，everybody，nobody，anyone， someone， everyone，no one， 及whoever和person在正式場(chǎng)合使用時(shí)，可用he, his, him代替。
例如： Nobody came, did he? 誰(shuí)也?
