用法：
作定语：
e.g. This is an old house.
这是一间老宅子。
作表语：
e.g. He is very clever.

形容词在句中的位置：
形容词作定语通常置于被修饰词之前，但当被修饰的词是复合不定代词时，则置于复合不定代词之后。如：
something interesting
形容词作表语位于系动词之后。除be动词外，系动词还包括become、feel、get、look、seem、smell、sound、taste、turn等，这些词后常接形容词作表语。

somebody、someone 某人
anybody、anyone 某人
everybody、everyone 每个人
nobody、no one 没有人
指物：
something 某物
anything 某物
everything 每件事，一切
nothing 没事
somebody，something，someone
常用于肯定句中；疑问句中，如果希望得到对方肯定的回答，也会用some-。
如：Hey, Lily. There is someone outside the door. 嗨，丽丽，门外有人。
anything，anybody，anyone
常用于疑问句或否定句中。
如：Did you meet anyone when you came to school last Sunday?
上个星期天你来学校时见到什么人了吗？
no one，nobody，nothing
no-有否定含义，no one表示“没有人”，nobody=not anyone，nothing=not anything
如：He has nothing much to do today.
他今天没有多少事情做。
everybody，everyone，everything
everybody/everyone的意思是“每个人，人人”，everything的意思是“每件事，一切”。
