T: So many pronouns and their own examples. We are very familiar with人称代词, 指示代词,物主代词,疑问代词 and 反身代词。Today, we mainly explain 不定代词,because it’s a little difficult to understand and use.
1) some and any
a. Some and any 是单数还是复数,要看其所代替的是什么。Some and any 都既可以指人,也可以指物,可以表示可数的事物和人,也可以表示不可数的概念。如:some (any) books, some(any) money, some people, some water
b. 作为代词,它们在句中可以做主语和宾语。如:
There are many people in the park. Some are dancing, others are playing Taijiquan.
c. some 用于肯定句中,而any 用于疑问句、否定句和条件句。
--I am thirsty. Can you give me some water
--Sorry, I don’t have any. If I have any, I will give you some.
2) none and neither
a. none and neither 都表示否定的意思,两者的区别在于,neither 用于两者,而none 用于
两者以上。如:
Yes, I saw two boys at the door, but neither (of them) is my brother.
None (of the students) in my class want to take part in this trip.
b. none 除指可数的人和物外,还可以表示不可数的东西,可以指与one, two, three一样的数字概念。 如:
I have a lot of money in my bag, but none is mine.
How many postcards have you sent
None.
3) (a)little and (a) few
a. a little and a few 表示肯定的概念,而little and few 却表示否定的概念。如:
--Do you have any water
--Yes, but only a little.
--Sorry, I have little myself. I can’t give you any.
He has many friends, but few are true friends/ but only a few are true friends.
b. (a) little 用于不可数名词,而 (a) few 用于可数名词。如以上例句所示。
4)all and both
a. all 表示“所有的,全体,一切”的 概念,both 表示“两个都”,而all指两者以上,同时还可以指不可数的东西。如:
All of the boys went to the cinema yesterday evening.
All of the money is mine.
Which of the two shirts do you like
--I like both.
b. all and both 可用于主语之后,如:
We all/both passed the exam.
5) Each and either
Each and either 都可以表示“每一个”,each 可以表示两者、也可以表示两者以上的“每一个”,而either只能表示两者中的“每一个”。如:
Each of us/We each got a nice card on that special day.
Which of the two shirts do you want
Either will do.
注意:either 表示一种选择,如上面一例,表示“哪个都可以”,说明购物者要买一件衬衣而不是两件都要。如表示两件都要,则用both。each 也可用于句末。如:
The old man gave the boys two apples each.

S7: But I think the children studying at home are easy to be lonely.

Ss: In some areas, home-schooling families get together so that their children can socialize with others.
Step 6 Module task
Ask students to write a leaflet and then present the result to the class.
T: School is the place where we study and take part in some activities and we have read many articles about the school life, so I think it’s easy for you to write a leaflet about school.

Subjects: At our school students can study Chinese, maths, English, politics, physics, chemistry, history, geography and so on.
