【老師點睛】
一、名詞的數(shù)
1.單數(shù)和復數(shù)
可數(shù)名詞有單數(shù)和復數(shù)兩種形式。復數(shù)形式通常是在單數(shù)形式后加詞尾“-s”構(gòu)成,其主要變法如下:
。1)一般情況在詞尾加-s,例如:book→books,girl→girls,boy→boys,pen→pens,doctor→doctors, boy→boys。
。2)以s,x,ch,sh,結(jié)尾的詞加-es,例如:bus→buses,class→classes,box→boxes,watch→watches,brush→brushes。
。3)以ce, se, ze,(d)ge結(jié)尾的名詞加s,例如:orange—oranges。
。4)以輔音母加y結(jié)尾的詞變“y”為“i”再加-es,例如:city→cities, factory→factories, country→countries, family→families。但要注意的是以元音字母加y結(jié)尾的名詞的復數(shù)形式只加s,如:boy→boys, day→days。
(5)以o結(jié)尾的詞多數(shù)都加-es。例如:hero→heroes,potato→potatoes,tomato→tomatoes,但詞末為兩個元音字母的詞只加-s。例如:zoo→zoos,radio→radios,還有某些外來詞也只加-s,例如:photo→photos,piano→pianos。
。6)以f或fe結(jié)尾的詞,多數(shù)變f為v再加-es,例如:knife→knives,leaf→leaves, half→halves。
復數(shù)詞尾s(或es)的讀音方法如下表所示。
復數(shù)詞尾s(或es)的讀音方法
情 況
讀法
例 詞
在[p][t][k][f]等清輔音后
[s]
cups, hats, cakes
在[s][z][t][ ][F]等音后
[iz]
glasses, pages, oranges, buses, watches,faces
在[b][d][ ][v]等濁輔音后
[z]
beds, dogs, cities, knives
(7)少數(shù)名詞有不規(guī)則的復數(shù)形式,例如:man→men,woman→women,tooth→teeth,foot→feet,child→children,mouse→mice。
【注意】與man和woman構(gòu)成的合成詞,其復數(shù)形式也是-men和-women。例如:an Englishman,two Englishmen。但German不是合成詞,故復數(shù)形式為 Germans;man, woman等作定語時,它的單復數(shù)以其所修飾的名詞的單復數(shù)而定,如:men workers, women teachers。
有個別名詞單復數(shù)一樣,例如:Chinese,Japanese,sheep,deer,fish等。但當fish表示不同種類的魚時,可以加復數(shù)詞尾。
。8)單數(shù)形式但其意為復數(shù)的名詞有:people, police等。
。9)數(shù)詞+名詞作定語時,這個名詞一般保留單數(shù)形式,中間加連字符。例如:ten-minutes’ walk, an 8-year-old girl, a ten-mile walk。
(10)還有些名詞僅有復數(shù)形式,如:trousers,clothes,chopsticks,glasses,goods,ashes,scissors,compasses。
(11)只用作單數(shù)的復數(shù)形式的名詞有:
科學名詞:physics, mathematics/maths
游戲名稱:bowls
專有名詞:the United States, Niagara Falls
其他名詞:news, falls
2.不可數(shù)名詞“量”的表示方法
在英語中,不可數(shù)名詞如果要表示“量”的概念,可以用以下兩種方法:
。1)用much, a little, a lot of/lots of, some, any等表示多少,例如:
The rich man has a lot of money.
There is some milk in the bottle.
Is there any water in the glass?
I don't like winter because there's too much snow and ice.
。2)用a piece of 這類定語,例如:
a piece of paper a piece of wood a piece of bread
a bottle of orange a glass of water(milk) a cup of tea
a cup of tea a bag of rice three bags of rice
如果要表示“兩杯茶”、“四張紙”這類概念時,在容器后加復數(shù),例如:
two cups of tea
four pieces of paper
three glasses of water
不可數(shù)名詞也可用a lot of, lots of, some, any, much等來修飾。
二、名詞的所有格
名詞所有格,用來表示人或物的所有,以及領(lǐng)屬關(guān)系。
1. 表示有生命的名詞的所有格其單數(shù)形式是加 's,其復數(shù)形式是s',例如:a student's room, students' rooms, father's shoes。
2. 如其結(jié)尾不是s的復數(shù)形式仍加 's,如:Children's Day。
3. 在表示時間、距離、長度、重量、價格、世界、國家等名詞的所有格要用 's,例如:a twenty minutes' walk,ten miles' journey,a boat's length,two pounds' weight, ten dollars' worth。
4. 無生命名詞的所有格則必須用of結(jié)構(gòu),例如:a map of China,the end of this term,the capital of our country, the color of the flowers。
5. 雙重所有格,例如:a friend of my father's。
【注意】
如果兩個名詞并列,并且分別有 's,則表示“分別有”,例如:John's and Mary's rooms(約翰和瑪麗各有一間,共兩間);Tom's and Mary's bikes(兩人各自的自行車)。
兩個名詞并列,只有一個's,則表示“共有”,例如:John and Mary's room(約翰和瑪麗共有一間);Tom and Mary's mother(即Tom與Mary是兄妹)。
