第一篇：英語名詞變復(fù)數(shù)的規(guī)則及練習(xí)題

英語名詞變復(fù)數(shù)的規(guī)則及練習(xí)題

1.名詞

名詞可以分為專有名詞和普通名詞，專有名詞是某個（些）人，地方，機(jī)構(gòu)等專有的名稱，如Beijing，China等。普通名詞是一類人或東西或是一個抽象概念的名詞，如：book，sadness等。普通名詞又可分為下面四類：

1）個體名詞：表示某類人或東西中的個體，如：gun。

2）集體名詞：表示若干個個體組成的集合體，如：family。

3）物質(zhì)名詞：表示無法分為個體的實物，如：air。

4）抽象名詞：表示動作、狀態(tài)、品質(zhì)、感情等抽象概念，如：work。

個體名詞和集體名詞可以用數(shù)目來計算，稱為可數(shù)名詞，物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞一般無法用數(shù)目計算，稱為不可數(shù)名詞。

1.1 名詞復(fù)數(shù)的規(guī)則變化

情況

構(gòu)成方法 讀音 例詞

一般情況 加-s 清輔音后讀/s/ map-maps

濁輔音和元音后讀 /z/ bag-bags /car-cars

以s, sh, ch, x等結(jié)尾 加-es 讀 /iz/ bus-buses/ watch-watches

以ce, se, ze,等結(jié)尾 加-s 讀 /iz/ license-licenses 以輔音字母+y結(jié)尾 變y 為i再加es 讀 /z/ baby---babies

1.2 其它名詞復(fù)數(shù)的規(guī)則變化

1）以y結(jié)尾的專有名詞，或元音字母+y 結(jié)尾的名詞變復(fù)數(shù)時，直接加s變復(fù)數(shù)。例如：

two Marys

the Henrys

monkey---monkeys

holiday---holidays

2）以o 結(jié)尾的名詞，變復(fù)數(shù)時：

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兩種方法均可，如zero---zeros / zeroes。

3）以f或fe 結(jié)尾的名詞變復(fù)數(shù)時：

a.加s，如： belief---beliefs

knife---knives leaf---leaves

wolf---wolves

wife---wives

life---lives

thief---thieves；

c.上述a和b兩種方法均可，如handkerchief: handkerchiefs / handkerchieves。

1.3 名詞復(fù)數(shù)的不規(guī)則變化

1）child---children

foot---feet

tooth---teeth

mouse---mice

man---men

woman---women

注意：由一個詞加 man 或 woman構(gòu)成的合成詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式也是-men 和-women，如an Englishman，two Englishmen。但German不是合成詞，故復(fù)數(shù)形式為Germans；Bowman是姓，其復(fù)數(shù)是the Bowmans。

2）單復(fù)同形，如deer，sheep，fish，Chinese，Japanese，li，jin，yuan，two li，three mu，four jin等。但除人民幣的元、角、分外，美元、英鎊、法郎等都有復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：a dollar, two dollars;a meter, two meters。

3）集體名詞，以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，但實為復(fù)數(shù)。例如：

people police cattle 等本身就是復(fù)數(shù)，不能說 a people，a police，a cattle，但可以說a person，a policeman，a head of cattle, the English，the British，the French，the Chinese，the Japanese，the Swiss 等名詞，表示國民總稱時，作復(fù)數(shù)用，如The Chinese are industries and brave.中國人民是勤勞勇敢的。

4）以s結(jié)尾，仍為單數(shù)的名詞，如：

a.maths，politics，physics等學(xué)科名詞，一般是不可數(shù)名詞，為單數(shù)。

b.news 為不可數(shù)名詞。

c.the United States，the United Nations 應(yīng)視為單數(shù)。

The United Nations was organized in 1945.聯(lián)合國是1945年組建起來的。

d.以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)的書名，劇名，報紙，雜志名，也可視為單數(shù)。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書。

5）表示由兩部分構(gòu)成的東西，如：glasses（眼鏡）trousers, clothes等，若表達(dá)具體數(shù)目，要借助數(shù)量詞 pair（對，雙）;suit（套）;a pair of glasses;two pairs of trousers等。

6）另外還有一些名詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式有時可表示特別意思，如：goods貨物，waters水域，fishes（各種）魚。

1.4 不可數(shù)名詞量的表示

1）物質(zhì)名詞

a.當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞轉(zhuǎn)化為個體名詞時為可數(shù)。

比較：Cake is a kind of food.蛋糕是一種食物。（不可數(shù)）

These cakes are sweet.這些蛋糕很好吃。（可數(shù)）

b.當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞表示該物質(zhì)的種類時，可數(shù)。例如：

This factory produces steel.（不可數(shù)）

We need various steels.（可數(shù)）

c.當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞表示份數(shù)時，可數(shù)。例如：

Our country is famous for tea.我國因茶葉而聞名。

Two teas, please.請來兩杯茶。

2）抽象名詞表示具體的事例時也可數(shù)。例如：

four freedoms 四大自由

the four modernizations四個現(xiàn)代化

物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞可以借助單位詞表一定的數(shù)量，如a glass of water 一杯水/ a piece of advice 一則建議。

5.定語名詞的復(fù)數(shù)

名詞作定語一般用單數(shù)，但也有以下例外。

1)

用復(fù)數(shù)作定語。例如：

sports meeting 運動會

students reading-room 學(xué)生閱覽室

talks table 談判桌

the foreign languages department 外語系

2）man, woman, gentleman等作定語時，其單復(fù)數(shù)以所修飾的名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)而定。例如：

men workers

women teachers

gentlemen officials

3）有些原有s結(jié)尾的名詞，作定語時，s保留。例如：

goods train（貨車）

arms produce 武器生產(chǎn)

customs papers 海關(guān)文件

clothes brush

衣刷

4）數(shù)詞+名詞作定語時，這個名詞一般保留單數(shù)形式。例如：

two-dozen eggs 兩打雞蛋

a ten-mile walk 十英里路

two-hundred trees 兩百棵樹

a five-year plan.一個五年計劃

1.6 不同國籍人的單復(fù)數(shù)

1.7 名詞的格

英語中有些名詞可以加“'s”來表示所有關(guān)系，帶這種詞尾的名詞形式稱為該名詞的所有格，如：a teacher's book。名詞所有格的規(guī)則如下：

1）單數(shù)名詞詞尾加“'s”，復(fù)數(shù)名詞詞尾沒有s，也要加“'s”，如the boy's bag 男孩的書包，men's room 男廁所。

2）若名詞已有復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s，只加“ ' ”，如：the workers' struggle 工人的斗爭。

3）凡不能加“'s”的名詞，都可以用“名詞+of +名詞”的結(jié)構(gòu)來表示所有關(guān)系，如：the title of the song 歌的名字。

4）在表示店鋪或教堂的名字或某人的家時，名詞所有格的后面常常不出現(xiàn)它所修飾的名詞，如：the barber's 理發(fā)店。

5）如果兩個名詞并列，并且分別有's，則表示“分別有”；只有一個's，則表示'共有'。例如：

John's and Mary's rooms（兩間）

John and Mary's room（一間）

6）復(fù)合名詞或短語，'s 加在最后一個詞的詞尾。例如：a month or two's absence

1.child—childrenfoot—feettooth—teeth mouse—miceman—menwoman—women 注意：與man和woman構(gòu)成的合成詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式也是-men和-women，例如：anEnglishman—two Englishmen 但German不是合成詞，故復(fù)數(shù)形式為Germans；Bowman是姓，其復(fù)數(shù)是the Bowmans（鮑曼一家）。

2.單復(fù)數(shù)同形的名詞

例如：deer鹿，sheep綿羊，fish魚，Chinese中國人，Japanese日本人

注意：除人民幣元、角、分外，美元、英鎊、法郎等都有復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如: a dollar—two dollars 3.集體名詞，以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，但實為復(fù)數(shù)。

例如： people人，police警察，cattle牛等本身就是復(fù)數(shù)，不能說 a people，a police，a cattle，但可以說 a person，a policeman，a head of cattle the English，the British，the French，the Chinese，the Japanese等名詞，表示國民總稱時，作復(fù)數(shù)用，例如：

The Chinese are hard-working and brave.中國人民是勤勞勇敢的。

三、以s結(jié)尾，仍為單數(shù)的名詞 1.maths數(shù)學(xué)，politics政治（學(xué)），physics物理學(xué)等學(xué)科名詞，為不可數(shù)名詞，是單數(shù)。

2.news消息、新聞，為不可數(shù)名詞。

3.the United States美國，the United Nations聯(lián)合國，應(yīng)視為單數(shù)。

The United Nations was organized in 1945.聯(lián)合國是1945年組建起來的。

4.以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)的書名，劇名，報紙，雜志名，也視為單數(shù)?！癟he Arabian Nights” is a very interesting story-book.<<一千零一夜>>是一本非常有趣的故事書。注意：

1.表示由兩部分構(gòu)成的東西，如：glasses(眼鏡)trousers,clothes若表達(dá)具體數(shù)目，要借助數(shù)量詞 pair(對，雙);suit(套);a pair of glasses;two pairs of trousers 2.還有一些名詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式有時可表示特別意思，如：goods貨物，waters水域，fishes（各種）魚
