形容詞
形容詞是用來描寫或修飾名詞或代詞，說明人或事物的特征或性質(zhì)的。
用法：
作定語：
e.g. This is an old house.
這是一間老宅子。
作表語：
e.g. He is very clever.
他很聰明。
形容詞在句中的位置：
形容詞作定語通常置于被修飾詞之前，但當(dāng)被修飾的詞是復(fù)合不定代詞時，則置于復(fù)合不定代詞之后。如：
something interesting
形容詞作表語位于系動詞之后。除be動詞外，系動詞還包括become、feel、get、look、seem、smell、sound、taste、turn等，這些詞后常接形容詞作表語。
如：The price sounds reasonable.
這個價格聽起來算是合理的。

不定代詞
代替或修飾不特指的人或事物的代詞叫不定代詞。
some，any，every，no都能和one，body，thing一起構(gòu)成代詞，這些代詞叫復(fù)合不定代詞。它們基本含義為：
指人：
somebody、someone 某人
anybody、anyone 某人
everybody、everyone 每個人
nobody、no one 沒有人
指物：
something 某物
anything 某物
everything 每件事，一切
nothing 沒事
somebody，something，someone
常用于肯定句中；疑問句中，如果希望得到對方肯定的回答，也會用some-。
如：Hey, Lily. There is someone outside the door. 嗨，麗麗，門外有人。
anything，anybody，anyone
常用于疑問句或否定句中。
如：Did you meet anyone when you came to school last Sunday?
上個星期天你來學(xué)校時見到什么人了嗎？
no one，nobody，nothing
no-有否定含義，no one表示“沒有人”，nobody=not anyone，nothing=not anything
如：He has nothing much to do today.
他今天沒有多少事情做。
everybody，everyone，everything
everybody/everyone的意思是“每個人，人人”，everything的意思是“每件事，一切”。
如：Everybody likes swimming.
每個人都喜歡游泳。
注：
★形容詞修飾復(fù)合不定代詞時，通常要位于這些詞的后面。
