　　[深化認(rèn)知]

　　一、人稱代詞的四點注意

　　1.人稱代詞有主格和賓格之分，主格在句中通常作主語，賓格在句中作賓語、表語和同位語等成分。

　　3.句中沒有謂語動詞或在句中與動詞不定式連用，人稱代詞常用賓格。

　　—Me too.

　　——這個周末我想去爬山。

　　——我也想去。

　　What! Me (to) play chess with him? No!

　　Not having heard of it before, Tom is as surprised as he/him.

　　二、物主代詞的四大常識

　　1.物主代詞分為形容詞性物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞，形容詞性物主代詞在句中通常作定語，名詞性物主代詞在句中可作主語、賓語和表語等成分。

　　形容詞性物主代詞 my our his her its their your 名詞性物主代詞 mine ours his hers its theirs yours The students are doing their homework.

　　學(xué)生們在做作業(yè)。

　　Your room is big while mine is small.

　　你的房間大，而我的房間小。

　　2.形容詞性物主代詞不與a, an, this, that, these, some, any, several, no, each, such, another等詞同時修飾一個名詞，但在雙重所有格中可同時修飾一個名詞。

　　a friend of mine 　　 我的一個朋友

　　each sister of his 他的每一個姐姐

　　3.介詞+the+身體部位，此處不能用形容詞性物主代詞代替the。

　　三、反身代詞的三種句法功能

　　反身代詞包括oneself, himself, herself, itself, themselves, yourself, yourselves, myself, ourselves，在句中可作賓語、表語和同位語等成分。

　　1.作賓語

　　(1)常用在to, by, for, of, in, between, among等介詞后。

　　But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness 4.in bad ways. They talk 5.noisily (noisy) in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy 6.themselves and they laugh at others' shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, 7.but they will never get true happiness because they 8.have_lost (lose) their personality already.

　　Now I know what happiness is. 9.It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that 10.bringing (bring) happiness to others is making ourselves happy.
