一、限定詞的分類
1)前位限定詞:
all, both, half ; double, twice, three times等;
one-third , two-fifths等;
what , such (a /an)等 。
2)中位限定詞:
a(n), the, zero; this, that, these, those; my, your等;
Mary's,my friend's;
some, any, no, every, each, either, neither, enough, what(ever) , which(ever) , whose等。
3)后位限定詞:
one, two, three等;
first, second, third等;
next, last, other, another等;
many, much, (a) few, (a) little, fewer, (the) fewest, less, (the) least, more, most;
several, such等;
plenty of, a lot of, lots of, a great number of, a great deal of, a great /good many, a large amount of, a great quantity of等。
二、限定詞的搭配
1)若一個(gè)名詞詞組后帶有三類限定詞,則搭配關(guān)系為:前位—中位—后位
all the three students
前 中 后
2)若一個(gè)名詞詞組后帶有兩類限定詞,搭配關(guān)系仍為:前位—中位—后位
half his lesson all other students those last few boys
前 中 前 后 中 后 后
另外,值得我們注意的是:
1)前位限定詞和中位限定詞之間互相排斥,所以一個(gè)名詞前不可并用兩個(gè)前位或兩個(gè)中位限定詞。
my that pencil(×) that pencil of mine(√)
2)such既屬于前位,又屬于后位限定詞。
such a book(√) many such teachers(√)
3) every既屬于中位,又屬于后位限定詞,位于名詞屬格或物主限定詞之后。
his every idea(√)
