代詞是代替名詞的一種詞類。大多數(shù)代詞具有名詞和形容詞的功能。英語中的代詞，按其意義、特征及在句中的作用分為:人稱代詞、物主代詞、指示代詞、自身代詞、相互代詞、疑問代詞、關系代詞和不定代詞八種。
一、人稱代詞是表示"我"、"你"、"他"、"她"、"它"、
"我們"、"你們"、"他們"的詞。人稱代詞有人稱、數(shù)和格的變化，見下表:
數(shù) 單數(shù) 復數(shù)
格 主格 賓格 主格 賓格
第一人稱 I me we us
第二人稱 you you you you
he him they them
第三人稱 she her they them
it it they them
如:Heismyfriend. 他是我的朋友。
It’sme. 是我。
二、物主代詞表示所有關系的代詞，也可叫做代詞所有格。物主代詞分形容性物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞二種，其人物和數(shù)的變化見下表。
數(shù) 單數(shù) 復數(shù)

形容詞性 my your his/her itsouryour/their
物主代詞
名詞性 mineyourshis/hersitsoursyours/theirs
物主代詞
如:Ilikehiscar.
我喜歡他的小汽車。
Ourschoolishere，andtheirsisthere.
我們的學校在這兒，他們的在那兒。
三、指示代詞表示"那個"、"這個"、"這些"、"那些"等指示概念的代詞。指示代詞有this，that，these，those等。
如:Thatisagoodidea. 那是個好主意。
四、表示"我自己"、"你自己"、"他自己"、"我們自己"、"你們自己"和"他們自己"等的代詞，叫做自身代詞，也稱為"反身代詞"。
如:Shewastalkingtoherself. 她自言自語。
五、表示相互關系的代詞叫相互代詞，有eachother和oneanother兩組，但在運用中，這兩組詞沒什么區(qū)別。
如:Theyloveeachother. 他們彼此相愛。
六、不是指明代替任何特定名詞的代詞叫做不定代詞。常見的不定代詞有a11，both，each，every等，以及含有some-，any-，no-等的合成代詞，如anybody，something，noone。這些不定代詞大都可以代替名詞和形容詞，在句中作主語、賓語、表語和定語， 但none和由some，any，no等構(gòu)成的復合不定代詞只能作主語、賓語或表語;every和no只能作定語。如:
---Doyouhaveacar? --你有一輛小汽車嗎?
---Yes，Ihaveone. --是的，我有一輛。
---Idon’tknowanyofthem. 他們，我一個也不認識。
七、疑問代詞有who，whom，whose，what和which等。在句子中用來構(gòu)成特殊疑問句。疑問代詞都可用作連接代詞，引導名詞性從句(主語從句、賓語從句和表語從句)
如:Tellmewhoheis. 告訴我他是誰。
八、關系代詞有who，whom，whose，that，which，as等，可用作引導從句的關聯(lián)詞。它們在定語從句中可作主語、表語、賓語、定語等;另一方面它們又代表主句中為定語從句所修飾的那個名詞或代詞(通稱為先行詞)。
如:Heisthemanwhomyouhavebeenlookingfor. 他就是你要找的那個人.
