instead of和instead的区别

1、词性不一样，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。举例如下：
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；
he chose to help others instead of going home，与help others 并列。
instead of staying home，he prefers playing with his mates，作状语修饰主句。
instead只能修饰动词或句子，语义不明确，由主句确定；
because his classmates can't deal with homework，he chose to help others with their study instead.这里，instead没有语义。
He didn't answer me but ，instead，asked another ， 强调asked another。

Answer 2

一.instead意为“代替”“替代”,作副词用,通常位于句尾.如位于句首时常用逗号与后面阁开.instead 在顺接句子中作“代替”讲,而在转折（或逆转）句子中作“然而”讲.
例如：1.Lily isn't here.Ask Lucy instead.
Lily不在这儿,去问Lucy吧.[注意]当instead在祈使句中时,只能位于句末.
2.she didn't answer me,instead,she asked me another question.
她没有回答我,反而问了我另外一个问题.
二.instead of是介宾短语,其意与instead相同,不同之处在于它后面常接宾语,起宾语多由名词、代词、介词、短语、动词 + ing 形式充当.
例如：1.We'll ask Li Mei instead of Mary.
我们将去问李梅而不问玛丽.
2.I'll go instead of her.
我会替她去.
三.instead 与instead of的转换.
例如:1.He didn't answer me,instead,he asked me another
question → He asked me another question instead of answering me.
2.I'll of instead of her.→She won't go.I'll go instead
