在上列人称代词的不同形式中,还包含了主格(Subjective Case)、宾格(Objective Case)和属格(Genitive Case)三种“格”的形式.这样,从“格”的形式来划分,英语的人称代词又可归纳为:
主格:I,you,he,she,it,we,you,they
宾格:me,you,him,her,it,us,you,them
属格:my,mine,your,yours,his,her,hers,its,our,ours,their,theirs
属格又可分为两类:一类是形容词性物主代词(my,your,his,her,its,our,their)即本书所讲的“物主限定词”;另一类是名词性物主代词(mine,yours,his,hers,ours,theirs),即本书中的“物主代词”.
1)人称代词的主格在句子中作主语或主语补语,例如:
John waited a while but eventually he went home.
约翰等了一会儿,最后他回家了.
John hoped the passenger would be Mary and indeed it was she.
约翰希望那位乘客是玛丽,还真是她.
说明:在复合句中,如果主句和从句主语相同,代词主语要用在从句中,名词主语用在主句中,例如:
When he arrived, John went straight to the bank.
约翰一到就直接去银行了.
2)人称代词的宾格在句子中作宾语或介词宾语,但在口语中也能作主
