III. Grammar Points 语法重点
本课介绍形容词some及代词none的用法。
- She needs some help.
(她需要一些帮助。)
此处some [sʌm;səm]为形容词，表示“一些”。此外，亦可表示“某个”的意思，用法如下
a. 作“一些”解时，之后可接复数可数名词(如friends、books)或不可数名词(如money、help)。
例: Peter has some very good English books.
(彼得有一些很棒的英文书。)

(我有一些钱。)
b. 作“某个”解时，之后接单数可数名词。此时的some相当于不定冠词a或an。
例: Some guy is looking for you.
=A guy is looking for you.
(某个家伙正在找你。) - ... none of her friends can help her.
(······她的朋友没有一个能帮助她。)
本句中的none是代词，可用来代替人或物，指三个或三个以上的人或东西中“没有一个”，用法如下：
none of + the(these、those、my、your、his...)+复数名词+复数(或单数)动词
例: None of my friends like(s) music.
(我的朋友中没有一个喜欢音乐。)
