1.

it／one／that三者均可用作代詞,一般說(shuō)來(lái),it指代同名同物;one與that則指代同名異物。

Ihavelostmyumbrella;I'mlookingforit.（該句中it就是指前面的myumbrella）

Ihavelostmyumbrella;IthinkImustbuyone.（one在該句中表泛指,因?yàn)閙yumbrella已經(jīng)丟了）

TheumbrellayouboughtischeaperthanthatIbought.（替代詞that在該句中特指“theumbrellaIbought”,以區(qū)別“theumbrellayoubought”）

one與that雖可用來(lái)指代同名異物,但one為泛指,相當(dāng)于a／an＋名詞;that為特指,相當(dāng)于the＋名詞。所以one所指代的名詞的修飾語(yǔ)一般為a／an／some／any;that所指代的名詞的修飾語(yǔ)往往是the／this／that。

Achairmadeofsteelisstrongerthanonemadeofwood.（該句中one可以換成achair）

Thewaterinthecupishotterthanthatinthepot.（該句中that可以換
