×All things are ready for the party.
✓Everything is ready for the party.
在表示「所有事物」的整體概念時,通常使用「everything」而非逐項列舉的「all things」。「everything」強調整體性,而「all things」聽起來較不自然,像是逐項清點。
×Everything are possible if you try.
✓Everything is possible if you try.
「Everything」是單數不定代名詞,即使它指代多項事物,其後動詞必須使用單數形式(如 is, was, has)。
×I told everything about the plan.
✓I told everyone about the plan.
「Everything」指「所有事物、事情」,而「everyone」指「每個人」。此處要傳達的對象是人(每個人),所以應該用「everyone」。
×I don't know everything.
✓I don't know anything.
在否定句中,通常用「anything」來表示「任何事物」,而「not... everything」意思是「並非所有事情都...」,語意不同。想表達「我什麼都不知道」應說「I don't know anything.」。
×This is everything's place.
✓This is the place for everything.
「Everything」通常不使用所有格形式('s)。要表達「所有東西的...」時,應改用介系詞片語,如「for everything」、「of everything」。
×I bought some new books. Everything are interesting.
✓I bought some new books. They are all interesting.
「Everything」是一個單數代名詞,不能用來指代前面明確提到的複數名詞(如 books)。應該使用複數代名詞(they)或「all of them」。
