9.none与no one
none作代词时,既可指人,也可指物,常常受后面of短语的限制,of后可接复数可数名词,作主语时,谓语动词可以是单数,也可以是复数,其后的可数名词或代词必须是三者以上的人或事物。如:

-None.一幅也没有。
-Who is in the lab?谁在实验室里?
一No one(Nobody).没有人在实验室里。
10.instead与instead彼此不能"代替"
instead是副词,一般单独使用;instead of是介词短语,后面要接宾语,如:

那个女孩不要钢笔,给她一支铅笔吧。
Give him a pencil instead of a pen.

在句中instead的动作是被"取"的,即要做的;而instead of后面的动作是"舍",即不做的。如:

去年冬天我们去了海南岛,今天冬天将去广州。
This winter we are going to Guangzhou instead of Hainan Island.
