英语名词的单复数

第一篇：英语名词的单复数

名词的单复数

一、可数名词

可数名词的复数变化可以分为：规则变化和不规则变化两种。

（一）规则变化的可数名词

这一类名词的复数总结起来只有三种变化规则，我给它们归纳了一个总口诀方便大家记忆：

4大名捕走江湖，s、es、ies、ves轮番上；单复相同7君子；8大金刚生而复。它们分别代表什么意思呢？

4大“名捕”走江湖，s、es、ies、ves轮番上

1、单数名词变为复数，以下面4种最为常见：s、es、ies、ves（1）大部分辅音字母结尾的单词，直接加s：balls、cats、dogs、books（2）以s/x/ch/sh这四个辅音字母结尾的单词，直接加es：buses、boxes、watches、dishes（3.1）以y结尾的单词，紧邻y的前一个字母是元音字母，在这种情况下，直接加s。举例：boy→boys，zoo→zoos。

（3.2）以y结尾的单词，紧邻y的前一个字母是辅音字母，在这种情况下，先变y为i，然后再加es。举例：party→parties、lady→ladies、story→stories（4）以f或者fe结尾的单词，先变f或者fe为v，然后再加es：knife→knives、leaf→leaves

单复相同7君子

2、单数、复数全都是一样，不需要做任何改变（有点像“君子一言驷马难追”，所以说它们是“7君子”）。这样的单词有7个：

deer鹿，sheep绵羊，works工厂，means手段，Swiss瑞士人，Chinese中国人，Japanese日本人。

记忆方法：中瑞（士）日联手（段）开鹿羊工厂。

8大金刚生而复

3、英语中一些表示“成双成对”的名词，它们生来就只有复数形式，永远没有单数。这样的单词我们在中学阶段常见的有4个：

20160711英语 1 headphones(耳机)，glasses(眼镜)，clothes(衣服)，trousers(裤子)，jeans(年仔裤)，shorts短裤，shoes(鞋子)，scissors(剪刀)。记忆方法：从上记到下。

（二）不规则变化的可数名词

这一类名词的复数总结起来只有两种变化规则，同样给它们归纳了一个总口诀： 不讲规则的4大人和7小福

4大人

1、在英语单词中，所有以o结尾的单词全部直接加s，只有4个以o结尾的单词是加es：

Negro（黑人）、hero（英雄）、tomato（番茄）、potato（土豆）

记忆方法：黑人（Negro）英雄（hero）种了番茄（tomato）和土豆（potato）

7小福 2、7个特殊的不规则变化的单词：

foot→feet（脚步），goose→geese（鹅），tooth→teeth（牙齿），child→children（孩子），man→men（男人），woman→women（女人），mouse→mice（老鼠）。记忆方法：男人（man）和女人（woman）带着刚刚长出牙齿（tooth）的孩子（child），训练鹅（goose）步行（foot）去赶老鼠（mouse）。

二、不可数名词

（一）目前的中学阶段涉及到的以下四个类目的单词，可以直接归为不可数名词

1、主食：rice米饭、bread面包

2、肉类：chicken鸡肉、beef牛肉、fish鱼肉、mutton羊肉、pork猪肉

3、饮料：milk牛奶、water水、coffee咖啡、juice果汁

4、人民币单位：yuan元

记忆方法：今天伙食有点好，牛奶（milk）咖啡（coffee）果汁（juice）水（water），猪（pork）牛（beef）羊（mutton）鸡（chicken）鱼（fish）肉鲜，米饭（rice）面包（bread）不要钱（yuan）。

（二）在上面的四个类目以外，如果一个名词是那种“只能感觉却无法触碰的”，比如空气、灰尘这类的，可以直接判定其属于不可数名词。

20160711英语

三、既是可数名词又是不可数名词

英语中有些名词同时占据了可数和不可数两个类目，区别它们什么时候可数和不可数，主要看它们在当前的语境里面，表示的是什么意思。这一的名词有7个，我把它们总结为一句口诀：7小孩两头占。

这7个单词分别是：大白菜（cabbage）、鸡（chicken）、家庭（family）、小鱼（fish）冰淇淋（ice cream）、洋葱（onion）、沙拉（salad）。

记忆方法：小鱼（fish）一家（family）爱吃冰淇淋（ice cream），洋葱（onion）沙拉（salad）鸡（chicken）喜欢大白菜（cabbage）。下面具体讲（单词按照上面记忆的顺序）：

1.fish鱼；鱼肉

（1）fish用作可数名词，它有两种表现形式：

A、单数和复数形式相同，此时fish是指“鱼的条数，而且一般是当时就能看得见的活鱼”，比如：

There are two fish in the pail.桶里面有两条鱼。

B、当fish出现了复数形式fishes，此时的fish表示“不同的鱼的种类”，比如： He rears lots of fishes at home.他家里养了很多鱼。

（2）fish用作不可数名词，指“做熟的鱼肉”，此时它没有复数形式，比如：Help yourself to some fish．随便吃些鱼吧。

2.family家庭；家人

（1）family用作可数名词，表示“家庭”，比如： A family has a chance.一个家庭只有一次机会。

Many families attended the sport.很多家庭都参加了那次运动会。（2）family用作不可数名词，表示“家人这一个整体”，比如： The family are our haven.家人就是我们的港湾。

3.ice cream冰淇淋

（1）ice cream用作可数名词，表示“在售的冰淇淋，而且一般现在就要买来吃”，20160711英语 3 比如：

Give me two ice creams，please！请给我两份冰淇淋！

（2）ice cream用作不可数名词，表示“冰淇淋这种甜点，不代表马上就要买来吃”，比如：

Mary，do you like ice cream？玛丽，喜欢吃冰淇淋吗？

4.onion洋葱

（1）onion用作可数名词，表示“洋葱或者洋葱头，而且是现在就能看见的生洋葱”，比如：

There are many onions in the kitchen.厨房里放着很多洋葱。

（2）onion用作不可数名词，表示“已经做成了菜的洋葱，这里的洋葱可能还能看见，可能已经看不见”，比如：

There is too much onion in the dish.这道菜里面洋葱放太多了。（这个时候洋葱还看得见）

The soup tastes of onion.这汤有股洋葱味。（这个时候洋葱已经看不见了）

5.salad沙拉

（1）salad用作可数名词，指“一份色拉”或“一盘色拉”，比如： I’ll mix a salad.我去拌一份生菜沙拉。

I'll just take a small salad，please.我想要一小盘沙拉。（2）salad用作不可数名词，指“沙拉材料”，比如： He eats nothing but salad.他只喜欢吃色拉。

6.Chicken鸡；鸡肉

（1）chicken用作可数名词，指“看得见的活的鸡”，比如： There are lots of chickens in our village.村里养了很多鸡。

（2）chicken用作不可数名词，指“已经做成了熟食的鸡肉”，比如： I like chicken and fish.我喜欢吃鸡肉和鱼肉.20160711英语 4 7.cabbage大白菜

（1）cabbage用作可数名词，表示“生的大白菜”（市场上一棵一棵摆着卖的那种），比如：

I bought a cabbage yesterday.昨天我买了一棵白菜。

（2）cabbage用作不可数名词，表示“做熟的白菜，这里的白菜指的是做菜的材料”，比如：

I’m good at frying cabbage with onion.我擅长炒洋葱白菜。

第二篇：名词单复数

一、名词

名词可以分为可数名词与不可数名词，其中可数名词具有单、复数的形式；而不可数名词没有复数形式。

1.从单数 复数，变形规则如下：

1．一般情况下，直接加-s，如：book-books, bag-bags, cat-cats, bed-beds 2．以s.x.sh.ch结尾，加-es，如：bus-buses, box-boxes, watch-watches 3．以“辅音字母+y”结尾，变y为i, 再加-es，如：family-families（家庭）, strawberry-strawberries（草莓）

4．以“f或fe”结尾，变f或fe为v, 再加-es，如：knife-knives 5．不规则名词复数： man-men, woman-women, policeman（男警察）-policemen, policewoman（女警察）-policewomen, mouse-mice child（孩子）-children foot-feet,.tooth-teeth fish-fish, sheep（羊）-sheep people-people, Chinese-Chinese, Japanese-Japanese,当people后加上s时即peoples表示“民族”例如：There are 56 peoples in China.中国有56个民族。2.以下词为常为不可数名词，他们的复数形式就是他们本身。

Water(水)milk(牛奶)tea(茶)rice(米饭)orange（橙汁）juice（果汁）bread（面包）练习题 写出下列各词的复数

（1）名词可以分为可数名词和不可数名词，不可数名词没有单复数，一律看作单数。（2）可数名词的单数前什么时候用a，什么时候用an？ 答：以元音音标（或音素）开头的用an。以辅音音标（或音素）开头的用a。注意：我们看的是音标（或音素），而不是元音字母。

一、选择a或an或不填（用/表示）pen bag apple big apple banana orange oranges orange pen（3）可数名词的变化规则：

① 般在词尾加s，如：books，bags，fruits。加s之后的读音②以s、x、ch、sh结尾的名词加es，③以辅音字母加y结尾的名词，变y为i再加es，读[iz]；以元音字母加y结尾的名词直接在词尾加s。

② 如：baby —— babies ③ ④以f、fe结尾的名词变f、fe为ves,如：wolf [wulf] 狼——wolves wife（妻子）— life（生命）— knife —

④ ⑤以o结尾的名词加es 的有：如：zoo——zoos photo——photos（4）名词复数的不规则变化：

⑤ man—men男人 woman[wumEn]—women [5wimin] 女人tooth [tu:W]—teeth [ti:W] 牙齿 foot [fut]—feet [fi:t] 脚，英尺 goose [gu:s]—geese [gi:z] 鹅 mouse [maus] —mice [mais] 老鼠 ⑥ ②child [tFaild]—children [5tFildrEn] 孩子 ③单复同形的名词有：

⑦ chinese [5tFaini:z] 中国人Japanese [7dVApE5ni:z]日本人 sheep [Fi:p] 绵羊 deer [diE] 鹿 fish [fiF] 鱼

⑧ 注意：fish①当一条鱼讲时，单复数同形，如three fish.②当各种各样的鱼讲时，即强调鱼的种类时，要加es.⑨ 如：all kinds[kaindz] of fishes.各种各样的鱼 ③当鱼肉讲时，不可数。

一、名词复数规则

⑩ 1．一般情况下，直接加-s，如：book-books, bag-bags, cat-cats, bed-beds ⑪ 2．以s.x.sh.ch结尾，加-es，如：bus-buses, box-boxes, brush-brushes,watch-watches 3．以“辅音字母+y”结尾，变y为i, 再加-es，如：family-families, strawberry-strawberries 4．以“f或fe”结尾，变f或fe为v, 再加-es，如：knife-knives 5．不规则名词复数：

⑳ 今天我们一起来回顾一下，名词复数形式的变化规则； 1.大多数情况下，直接加s 21 2.以 s x sh ch结尾的名词变复数，加es 22 3.以 f fe 结尾的名词变复数，把 f fe 变为ves.23 4.以辅音字母加y 结尾的名词变复数，把y 变 i 再加es.例如，family 以辅音字母l 加y 结尾，所以复数形式为families, 24 boy也是以y 结尾的，但它是以元音字母o加y结尾的，所以复数形式为boys 5.有些以字母o 结尾的名词变复数加es,例tomatoes,potatoes 6.还有一些不规则变化的，需要同学们分清记牢。如sheep——sheep，child------children Text 1 名词（总分100分）

第五篇：英语名词单复数变化规则

英语名词单复数变化规则

一、规则变化如下：

1)一般情况加 –s：map-maps boy-boys

2)以s,sh,ch,x结尾加 –es bus-buses watch-watches

3)以辅音字母+y结尾,变y 为i再加es baby---babies city-cities country-countries，但以y结尾的专有名词,或元音字母+y 结尾的名词变复数时,直接加s变复数.例如：two Marys the Henrys monkey---monkeys holiday---holidays 4)以o结尾的名词,变复数时：

a.以两个元音字母结尾（其一必定是o）时,加es zoo-zoos kangaroo-kangarooes

b.某些外来词 photo-photos piano-pianos c.其余情况,都发o

5）以f或fe 结尾的名词变复数时： a.加s,如：belief---beliefs roof---roofs b.去f,fe 加ves,如：half---halves

c.上述a和b两种方法均可,如handkerchief:handkerchiefs / handkerchieves.二、不规则变化（需额外记忆）

1）child---children foot---feet tooth---teeth mouse---mice man---men woman---women

注意：由一个词加 man 或 woman构成的合成词,其复数形式也是-men 和-women,如an Englishman,two Englishmen.但German不是合成词,故复数形式为Germans；Bowman是姓,其复数是the Bowmans.2）
