Hey! Hey! Hey! 我是RJ高曉龍,歡迎來到今天的「快趣學英語」。
「Instead」 is daily English and can be heard several times in any conversation. Sadly, I often here it used wrong though, usually because of bad grammar or it was the wrong word. Let me try to clear up the confusion. Here’s how to use "instead", the easy way…
「Instead」在日常的英語交流中會經常聽到。難過的是,我經常聽到都是錯誤的使用方法,經常是關於語法問題或者是用錯單詞。現在讓我為大家解開謎題。用簡單的方法去使用「Instead」
「Instead」 is an adverb. It means 『as an alternative』.
「Instead」是副詞。它表示「替代」
Like most adverbs, 「instead」 goes at the beginning or at the end of a clause.
像很多副詞一樣,「instead」用在句子的開頭或者結尾。
When it goes at the beginning of a sentence, we usually separate it off with a comma.
當它用在句子開頭,我們通常會用逗號去把它隔開。
「Instead of」 is a preposition. A preposition is usually followed by a noun or a noun phrase – and that noun will be the object.
「Instead of」 是介詞。介詞通常跟在名詞或者名詞短語後面,名詞就會變成賓語。
"Instead of" can also be followed by a verb, but it must be the 「ing」 verb (not the 「to verb」!!)
"Instead of"也能跟在動詞後面,但是必須是動詞ing形式(不是「to verb」形式)
I』ll have a piece of cake instead of cookies, please. (NOT I』ll have a piece of cake instead cookies.)
我想要一塊蛋糕而不是餅乾,謝謝。(注意不能這樣使用 I』ll have a piece of cake instead cookies.)
I don’t want cookies. Instead, I』ll have a piece of cake. (Here the word instead is used as an adverb. An adverb doesn’t take an object.
我不想要餅乾,我想要一塊蛋糕。(在這個句子中instead被用作副詞,不需要用賓語)
Cinderella decided to break up with the prince and be single instead.

Instead of trying to study by myself, I think I』ll hire RJ to be my teacher.
我想僱RJ當我的老師,而不是試著去自學。

Alright I think I’m done here. I was gonna get some dinner, but I’m not hungry anymore, so I think I』ll just watch some TV instead. Or… maybe.. instead of TV, I』ll play some games. Yeah, that sounds better. But you, no games, ok? You should study instead of playing games. So I』ll see you next time!
好吧我認為我們就學到這兒吧。我要去吃晚飯了,但是我還不餓,所以我想我先去看點電視吧。呃…或許,先玩玩遊戲比看電視更好。對,這聽起來更好,但是你,不要玩遊戲,行嗎?你應該去學習而不是玩遊戲。我們下次見吧!
