第五篇:英语名词变复数的规则及练习题
英语名词变复数的规则及练习题
1.名词
名词可以分为专有名词和普通名词,专有名词是某个(些)人,地方,机构等专有的名称,如Beijing,China等。普通名词是一类人或东西或是一个抽象概念的名词,如:book,sadness等。普通名词又可分为下面四类:
1)个体名词:表示某类人或东西中的个体,如:gun。
2)集体名词:表示若干个个体组成的集合体,如:family。
3)物质名词:表示无法分为个体的实物,如:air。
4)抽象名词:表示动作、状态、品质、感情等抽象概念,如:work。
个体名词和集体名词可以用数目来计算,称为可数名词,物质名词和抽象名词一般无法用数目计算,称为不可数名词。
1.1 名词复数的规则变化
情况
构成方法 读音 例词
一般情况 加-s 清辅音后读/s/ map-maps
浊辅音和元音后读 /z/ bag-bags /car-cars
以s, sh, ch, x等结尾 加-es 读 /iz/ bus-buses/ watch-watches
以ce, se, ze,等结尾 加-s 读 /iz/ license-licenses 以辅音字母+y结尾 变y 为i再加es 读 /z/ baby---babies
1.2 其它名词复数的规则变化
1)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
2)以o 结尾的名词,变复数时:
a.加s,如: photo---photos
piano---pianos
radio---radios
zoo---zoos;
b.加es,如:potato--potatoes
tomato--tomatoes
c.上述a和b两种方法均可,如zero---zeros / zeroes。
3)以f或fe 结尾的名词变复数时:
a.加s,如: belief---beliefs
roof---roofs
safe---safes
gulf---gulfs;
b.去f,fe 加ves,如:half---halves
knife---knives leaf---leaves
wolf---wolves
wife---wives
life---lives
thief---thieves;
c.上述a和b两种方法均可,如handkerchief: handkerchiefs / handkerchieves。
1.3 名词复数的不规则变化
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)单复同形,如deer,sheep,fish,Chinese,Japanese,li,jin,yuan,two li,three mu,four jin等。但除人民币的元、角、分外,美元、英镑、法郎等都有复数形式。如:a dollar, two dollars;a meter, two meters。
3)集体名词,以单数形式出现,但实为复数。例如:
people police cattle 等本身就是复数,不能说 a people,a police,a cattle,但可以说a person,a policeman,a head of cattle, the English,the British,the French,the Chinese,the Japanese,the Swiss 等名词,表示国民总称时,作复数用,如The Chinese are industries and brave.中国人民是勤劳勇敢的。
4)以s结尾,仍为单数的名词,如:
a.maths,politics,physics等学科名词,一般是不可数名词,为单数。
b.news 为不可数名词。
c.the United States,the United Nations 应视为单数。
The United Nations was organized in 1945.联合国是1945年组建起来的。
d.以复数形式出现的书名,剧名,报纸,杂志名,也可视为单数。例如:
“The Arabian Nights” is a very interesting story-book.《一千零一夜》是一本非常有趣的故事书。
5)表示由两部分构成的东西,如:glasses(眼镜)trousers, clothes等,若表达具体数目,要借助数量词 pair(对,双);suit(套);a pair of glasses;two pairs of trousers等。
6)另外还有一些名词,其复数形式有时可表示特别意思,如:goods货物,waters水域,fishes(各种)鱼。
1.4 不可数名词量的表示
1)物质名词
a.当物质名词转化为个体名词时为可数。
比较:Cake is a kind of food.蛋糕是一种食物。(不可数)
These cakes are sweet.这些蛋糕很好吃。(可数)
b.当物质名词表示该物质的种类时,可数。例如:
This factory produces steel.(不可数)
We need various steels.(可数)
c.当物质名词表示份数时,可数。例如:
Our country is famous for tea.我国因茶叶而闻名。
Two teas, please.请来两杯茶。
2)抽象名词表示具体的事例时也可数。例如:
four freedoms 四大自由
the four modernizations四个现代化
物质名词和抽象名词可以借助单位词表一定的数量,如a glass of water 一杯水/ a piece of advice 一则建议。
5.定语名词的复数
名词作定语一般用单数,但也有以下例外。
1)
用复数作定语。例如:
sports meeting 运动会
students reading-room 学生阅览室
talks table 谈判桌
the foreign languages department 外语系
2)man, woman, gentleman等作定语时,其单复数以所修饰的名词的单复数而定。例如:
men workers
women teachers
gentlemen officials
3)有些原有s结尾的名词,作定语时,s保留。例如:
goods train(货车)
