例如:1.Lily isn't here. Ask Lucy instead.
Lily不在這兒,去問Lucy吧. [註意]當instead在祈使句中時,只能位於句末。
2.she didn't answer me, instead, she asked me another question.
她沒有回答我,反而問了我另外壹個問題。
二.instead of是介賓短語,其意與instead相同,不同之處在於它後面常接賓語,起賓語多由名詞、代詞、介詞、短語、動詞 + ing 形式充當。
例如:1.We'll ask Li Mei instead of Mary.
我們將去問李梅而不問瑪麗。
2.I'll go instead of her.
我會替她去。
三.instead 與instead of的轉換。
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
