Question

instead和instead of的区别

Answer 1

区别如下：

1、词性不同

instead of是介词短语，后接名词或动名词；instead是副词，修饰动词或句子。

instead of going home，he chose to help others with their study.

not going home，he chose to help others with their study instead.

2、用法不同

instead of可以独立构成短语作状语、同位语以及其他平行结构，语义明确。

instead只能修饰动词或句子，语义不明确，由主句确定。

He didn't answer me but ，instead，asked another ， 强调asked another。

3、读音不同

instead of 英[inˈsted ɔv] 美[ɪnˈstɛd ʌv]
