在英语中,"them" 是人称代词 "they" 的宾格形式,通常用于动词之后作为宾语。以下是具体说明:
动词后接宾格
动词后需接宾格代词,而主格代词(如 "they")只能作主语。例如:
They are students.
Please lend them a book.
This gift is for them 。
常见搭配
动词后接宾格的常见结构为:
动词 + 宾格代词 + 其他成分
例如:
I like them
He helped them
The cat chases them 。
缩写形式
them 可缩写为 em ,例如:
Eat em = eat them
Hit em = hit them
This problem beats them 。
动词短语
某些动词后需接动名词或不定式,此时需用原形代词:
try :try them on (试穿)
help :help them (此处需用宾格) 。
主格与宾格 :
主格:they
宾格:them
例如:
They are my friends.
Them helped me with my homework. 。
复数主语 :
复数主语(如 they)后必须用宾格代词 them ,不能省略或用主格 。
通过以上规则和示例,可以清晰地理解何时在动词后使用 them 作为宾语。
