名词单复数形式变化规则 英语中名词可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词在应用时有单数和复数形式。表示一个用单数,表示两个或两个以上用复数。复数名词的构成分为规则变化和不规则变化。 1) 单数名词加s: students, apples, bags, trees, books, maps, brothers,birds. 2) 以s、x、sh、ch结尾的名词加es: glasses, boxes, classes, dishes,watches. 3) 以辅音字母加y结尾的名词,变y为i加es: cities, babies, ladies,families. 以元音字母加y结尾的名词直接加s : boys, toys . 4) 以f或fe结尾的名词,多数变f为v加es: knives, leaves.但有些词只加s: roofs, chiefs. 5) 以o结尾的名词,有些加es: heroes, tomatoes, potatoes. 其它加s: radios, zoos, pianos, photos. 6) 不规则名词:foot→feet, goose→geese, tooth→teeth, child→children, man→men, woman→women, mouse→mice. 单复数同形,如: deer,sheep,fish,Chinese,Japanese 除人民币元、角、分外,美元、英镑、法郎等都有复数形式。如: two dollars,two meters 7) 某些外来词变复数:datum→data,medium→media,bacterium→bacteria,curriculum→curricula, criterion→criteria,phenomenon→phenomena.(um/on→a), basis→bases, crisis→crises, 8) 复合名词变复数:以不可数名词结尾的复合名词无复数形式,如:homework.以man或woman为前缀的复合名词变复数,前后两个名词都变复数,如:manservant→menservants, woman student →women students. 但German不是合成词,故复数形式为Germans;Bowman是姓,其复数是the Bowmans. 其它复合名词变复数:grown up→grown ups, stand by→stands by. 9) 复合形容词做定语时,其中的名词保持单数:a six year old boy,a two hundred page book 10) 集体名词,以单数形式出现,但实为复数。 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. 又如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。 11)表示由两部分构成的东西,如:glasses (眼镜) trousers, clothes 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 12)有些以s作结尾的名词是单数,如:maths,news,physics,politics 13) 有些名词的复数形式和其单数形式的意义不同,如:water(水),waters(海,江,河);time(时间),times(次数);arm(手臂),arms(武装,手臂);cloth(布),clothes(衣服);glass(玻璃),glasses(眼镜,玻璃杯);good(善行),goods(货物);manner(方法),manners(礼貌);wood(木),woods(树林);work(工作),works(工厂)。 14) 名词化的形容词大多表示人称,通常与定冠词the连用,如:the young 青年人, the old 老年人, the dead 死者.这些名词化的形容词表类指,没有复数形式的变化,因为指一类人,故有复数概念,做主语时候要求复数形式的动词。 练习: 1 bus (复数)__________________ 2 knife (复数)__________________ 3 party(复数)__________________ 4 that (复数)__________________ 5 this (复数)__________________ 6 foot (复数)__________________ 7 glass (复数)__________________ 8 cup (复数)__________________ 9 sheep (复数)__________________ 10 photo (复数)__________________ 11 woman (复数)__________________ 12 office (复数)__________________ 13 they (单 数)__________________ 14 are (单 数)__________________ 15 boxes (单 数)__________________ 16 men (单 数)__________________ 17.It’s an apple.
