instead (改用…取代；反而是…)：是副詞/準連接詞，與完整句子連用。 　　　 可放句首(通常用逗號隔開)，或放句尾(通常不用逗號)。 instead of (不用…；反而不…)：是介係詞，後面要接V-ing或名詞。 他根本沒去上學，而是去網咖。 　He didn’t go to school at all; ________, he went to the cyber coffee. = He didn’t go to school at all; he went to the cyber coffee ________ . = He went to the cyber coffee ________________ to school. = ________________ to school, he went to the cyber coffee. 他從不讀書，反而整天看電視。 He never studies. ______________________________ = ____________________, he watches TV all day. 我們學法文而非英文。We learn ________________________. 我們改學法文。 We learn _________________. 如果你不去，可以換我去嗎？ 我們沒有咖啡了，你願意改(喝)茶嗎？ 他買了藍色毛衣而不是紅色的。 Instead instead instead of going Instead of going Instead, he watches TV all day.
