是的,in stead of 是介词短语,后面跟宾语,像名词,代词等做宾语比如I will go in stead of her我将代替她去take the place of不能放句首引导从句,instead of可以比如 By and by electricity will take the place of coal.不久以后,电将取代煤
例如:"早上我想去打篮球,不去跑步了 "可以说成:I would like to play basketball instead of running this morning.不可以这样说:Playing would take place of running this morning."今天我帮王老师代课"I would take place of Miss Wang, who was absent.不可以说成:I would have the class intead of Miss Wang.一般来说,insted of 前后都是物作主宾语 sth/v-ing instead of sth/v-ing
take the place of 前后是人作主宾语 sb take(s) place of sb.
