everything,一切,所有,可以用于肯定句,疑问句和否定句中。其做主语,谓语使用单数。
everything是单数还是复数
everything 作为主语是单数,作为宾语是单数,也是复数,例:
(主语)Everything is settled. We'll leave tomorrow morning.
(宾语)What happened is exactly everything that I predicted.
The children mean everything to her. They are her pride and joy.
everything的用法
1.用作主语,谓语用单数;使用代词时,用it。如:
Everything is ready, isn’t it?
一切都准备好了,是吗?
2.与not连用,通常构成部分否定。如:
Money isn’t everything, is it?
金钱不是万能的。对吧?
3.受形容词修饰时,形容词应后置。如:
There is everything wrong with this place.
这个地方全不对头了。
Everything useful should be kept.
每一件有用的东西都应该保存好。
4.后接定语从句时,通常用关系代词that来引导(that作宾语时通常省略)。如:
Have you everything that you need?
你需要的东西都有了吗?
I could understand everything (that)she said.
她说的事情,我都明白。
偶尔也可见到用which代替that在everything后引导定语从句,但是很少,学生宜慎用。
everything,something,anything的区别
everything, something, anything 均为指物的复合不定代词,它们作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。它们的用法是有区别的:

② Who can know everything?
谁能知道万事万物呢?
2.something意为“某事;某物”,常用于肯定句中,也可用于征求对方意见的疑问句中。如:

3.anything 意为“某事;任何事”,一般用于否定句或疑问句中。如:

everything和every thing区别
everything 意为“每件事;一切事”,可用于肯定句、疑问句或否定句中,无特指某物。如:
① I hope everything goes well.我希望一切顺利。
② Who can know everything?谁能知道万事万物呢?
every thing指具体事物,不过平时一般不用every thing,而是在every后面直接跟具体的东西,如every dog ,every book.
