什么是 instead?
instead 是一个副词,意思是“代替”、“反而”或“却”,常用于表示某事被另一件事所替代。
基本用法
instead 通常放在句尾或句中(用逗号隔开),不能直接接名词或动词。例如:
- I didn’t go to the party. I stayed home instead.
- She didn’t take the bus; instead, she walked.
instead of 的用法
当需要接名词、代词或动名词时,应使用 instead of,它是一个介词短语:
- He drank tea instead of coffee.
- She went by bike instead of driving.
- We should walk instead of taking the car.
注意:instead of 后面不能接完整的句子(即不能接主语+谓语结构)。
常见错误
- ❌ I stayed home instead of I went out.
✅ I stayed home instead of going out. - ❌ He used a pen instead to write.
✅ He used a pen instead.
总结
记住以下要点:
instead单独使用,作副词,放句尾或句中。instead of是介词短语,后接名词、代词或动名词(-ing 形式)。- 不要混淆
instead和instead of的结构。
