    英语名词分类用法大全,名词复数变化规则
    名词的定义
    名词是表示人、事物、地方、现象或抽象概念的名称的词。
    名词的分类
    英语名词(Noun)可以从形式上进行分类,英语名词可以划分成专有名词和普通名词两大类。
    从意义上划分,英语名词可分为个体名词、集体名词、物质名词和抽象名词四类。
    一般来说,个体名词可以用数目来计算,称为可数名词(Countable Nouns)。
    物质名词、抽象名词和专有名词无法用数目来计算,称为不可数名词(Uncountable Nouns)。
    集合名词有的可数,有的不可数。
    一、普通名词
    普通名词指一类人或事物的名称。英语中普通名词分为可数名词和不可数名词。
    可数名词一般有单、复数两种形式。如a/one child, ten children。而不可数名词一般只有一种形式。如cash(现金)。不可数名词之前不可直接用泛指限定词和数词。不可数名词可与some一起用。如:some money,some water。也可与the一起用:the information(这信息)。
    (一)可数名词及其复数形式
    (1)可数名词的复数形式一般由词尾加-s或-es构成,其规则见下:
    一般情况 加-s,在清辅音后读/s/ maps, books;在浊辅音及元音后读/z/ cars, photos;在/t/后读/ts/ cats, students;在/d/后读/dz/ beds, guards在/dZ/后读/iz/ bridges, ages
    以字母s, x, ch, sh 结尾的词 加-es 在/s/, /z/, /S/,/tS/后读/iz/ classes, brushes
    以辅音字母+y结尾的词 将y改成i,加-es /z/ factories, stories
    以字母o结尾的词 一般加-es /z/ potatoes, tomatoes;少数外来词或缩略词加-s /z/ radios, pianos简称为有生命的+es   无生命的+s  有生命的有黑人英雄爱吃土豆西红柿
    以字母f或fe结尾的词:一般加-s /s/ roofs, chiefs;少数将f, fe, 改为-ves /z/ shelves, knives;有些加-s或改为-ves均可 /s/或/z/ scarfs/scarves
    (2)可数名词复数形式的不规则构成法
    英语中有一部分名词由于历史或词源原因其复数形式的构成法是不规则的。这种情况主要有:
    ①元音字母变化。例如:
    foot-feet man-men woman-women
    tooth-teeth goose-geese mouse-mice
    ②结尾为-en。例如: child-children
    ③单复数同形。
    单复数同形的名词主要有:sheep, fish, Chinese, Japanese, deer等。
    ④只有复数形式。例如:trousers, goods 等。
    (二)可数名词和不可数名词
    英语中的绝大多数名词既可以用作可数名词也可以用作不可数名词。
    英语名词分类用法大全,名词复数变化规则
    1.可数名词
    可数名词一般可以分成以下三类:
    第一类:如bike,desk, factory等,这类名词占可数名词的多数。以bike为例:
    There are fifty bikes at this shop.这家商店有50辆自行车。
    第二类:如clothes等,本身表示复数形式。以clothes为例:
    She cares for nice clothes.她爱好穿着。
    2.不可数名词
    不可数名词的用法特征主要有以下几种:
    (1)不带冠词的单数形式需用动词单数作谓语。例如:
    Knowledge is power.知识就是力量。
    (2)由much,little等词修饰。例如:
    They have saved much money for future use.他们存了很多钱以备未来使用。
    (3)与表示单位的量词如a piece of等连用。例如:
    Go and fetch me a piece of chalk.给我去拿一支粉笔。
    要十分注意的是:不可数名词不能与不定冠词或数词直接用在一起。如不能说a good news, an advice, a hard work等。
    不可数名词可以与量词使用构成不同的词组:
    如: a piece of paper 一张纸 a drop of water 一滴水
    a 1oaf of bread 一条面包 a bag of money 一袋钱
    a bottle of milk 一瓶牛奶 a pair of shoes 一双鞋
    二、专有名词
    专有名词用来指具体的人、地点、日子或物体的专有名称。其特点是:第一个字母大写,通常不与冠词连用,无复数形式。
    (一)人名
    英美人的姓名与中国人的恰恰相反,姓在后面,名在前面,姓名前通常不用冠词。例如:
    Mary Smith;George Washington。
    (1)一般熟人间通常用名称呼。例如:
    How’s John getting on? 约翰近来好吗?
    (2)在不熟悉人之间或表示礼貌时,常把姓和称谓连用。例如:
    Would you please tell John Smith to come to the office? 请你告诉约翰?史密斯到办公室来一次好吗?
    (3)姓氏复数前加定冠词可表示全家人。例如:
    The Turners have gone to America.特纳一家人去美国了。
    (二)地名
    (1)大部分单数形式的地名不用定冠词。例如:
    Asia;America;China; London;Shanghai
    (2)大部分单数形式的湖、岛、山名前不加定冠词。例如:.
    Silver Lake;Mount Tai
    (3)山脉、群岛、海洋、河流、运河、海湾、海峡、半岛、沙漠名前一般加定冠词。
    例如:
    the Pacific;the English Channel;the Sahara
    (三)日期名
    (1)节日名前通常不用冠词。例如: Christmas;National Day
    (2)星期名前通常不用冠词。例如: Sunday;Tuesday
    (3)月份名前通常不用冠词。例如: April;December
    三、名词所有格
    名词所有格是指一个名词与另一个名词之间存在所有关系时所用的形式。其构成有两种:一种是由名词末尾加’s构成;另一种由介词of加名词构成。前者多用来表示有生命的东西;后者多用来表示无生命的东西。例如:
    Children’s Palace 少年宫
    Tom’s bike 汤姆的自行车
    the title of the book 书名
    the legs of the table 桌子的腿
    (一)所有格形式的构成
    (1)单数名词后加’s,其读音与名词复数结尾的读音相同。例如:
    the girl’s father 女孩的父亲
    (2)以s结尾的复数名词后加’。例如:
    two hours’ walk 两个小时的步行
    (3)不以s结尾的复数名词后加’s。例如:
    the children’s holiday 孩子们的节日
    (4)以s结尾的人名,可以加’s,也可加’号。例如:
    Thomas’s brother 托马斯的兄弟
    Charles’s job 查尔斯的工作
    (5)表示各自的所有关系,不是共有的,则要分别在名词末尾加’s,如:
    John’s and Mary’s rooms 约翰和玛丽各人的房间
    若表示共有的,则在最后一个名词的末尾加’s,如:
    John and Mary’s room 约翰和玛丽合住的房间
    (二)’s所有格的用法
    ’s所有格常表示有生命的东西,但也可表示无生命的东西。例如:
    (1)表示时间:
    today’s newspaper 今天的报纸
    (2)表示自然现象:
    the moon’s rays 月光
    (3)表示国家、城市机构:
    Shanghai’s industry 上海的工业
    (4)表示度量衡及价值:
    twenty dollars’ value 20美元的价值
    five miles’ distance 5英里的距离
    (三)’s所有格所表示的关系
    1.表示所有关系
    可分为可分割的所有关系和不可分割的所有关系。可分割的所有关系通常指身外之物,一般不可用of表示。例如:
    John’s pen(John has a pen)约翰的钢笔
    不可说:a pen of John
    但不可分割的所有关系,指自身拥有的不可分割的东西可用’s也可用of表示。例如:
    Mary’s hands(Mary has two hands)玛丽的手
    可以说:the hands of Mary
    2.表示主谓关系
    the doctor’s advice(The doctor advised)医生的建议
    his mother’s request(His mother requested)他母亲的请求
    3.表示动宾关系
    Tom’s failure 汤姆的失败
    children’s education 年轻一代的教育
    4.表示同位语关系(通常用of表示)
    the city of Rome罗马城
    the city of Pairs巴黎城
    四、复习时需要注意的要点
    (1)有些名词形式像复数,但含义是单数,而有些名词是没有单数形式的,应注意谓语动词的选用。例如:
    a.Maths is the language of science.
    b.No news is good news.
    c.The Chinese people are a great people.
    (2)在“there be”的句子中,谓语动词的数应和它最近的主语的数相一致.例如:
    a.There are two pictures on the wall.
    b.There is a cat and two dogs in the garden.
    (3) 不规则名词的复数形式
    ①改变单数名词中的元音字母或其他形式。如:man men,woman women,tooth teeth,foot feet,mouse mice,child children等。
    ②单复数形式相同。如:sheep,deer,fish等,以及由汉语音译表示度量、币制等单位的名词。如:yuan.另外以-ese或-ss结尾的表示民族的名词也一样同形。如:Chinese,Japanese,Swiss等。
    ③以-an结尾或其他形式结尾的表示民族、国家的人的名词变复数时在词尾加-s.如:Americans,Asians,Russians,Australians,Italians,Germans等。
    注意:Englishman Englishmen,Frenchman Frenchmen.
    ④复合名词的复数形式:在词末加-(e)s,如:afternoons,housewives等。
    把主体名词变成复数形式。如:lookers-on(旁观者),passers-by(过路人)等。
    ⑤由man或woman作为第一部分的复数名词,两个组成部分皆变为复数形式。如:man driver men drivers,woman doctor women doctors等。5
    注意:banana tree banana trees
    (4)几种特殊的复数形式的名词
    ① 有些表示由两部分构成的东西和部分学科的名词总以复数的形式出现。如:glasses(眼镜),shorts(短裤),mathematics(数学),physics(物理学),politics(政治学)等。
    ②.有些复数形式的名词表示特别的意义。如:papers(文件),manners(礼貌),goods(货物),times(时代),conditions(环境;情况)等。
    ③有些名词在习惯用语中一定要用复数形式。如:make friends with(与……交朋友),shake hands with(与……握手)等。
    五、例题选讲
    例1 There are in this river.
    A. a great deal of fish B. a great number of fish
    C. a great amount of fish D. huge amounts of fish
    答案: B
    提示: 根据题意应填入许多鱼,而fish是单复数同形的可数名词,如果要表示各种各样的鱼可以用fishes表示。Fish解释为鱼肉是不可数名词。本句表示河里有许多鱼,只有a great number of修饰可数名词。
    例2 He has done many
    A. work B. job
    C. works D. jobs
    答案: D
    提示: job是可数名词,在many后应填复数名词。work作为“工作”是一个不可数名词。
    例3 father is a doctor.
    A. The twin’s B. The twins’
    C. The twin D. Twin’s
    答案: B
    提示: 名词复数的所有格形式只需在词尾加“’”,不能再加“-s’”。
    例4 I take violin from Mr. Wang at school everyday.
    A. lesson B. lessons
    C. class D. course
    答案: B
    提示: 在英语中有些名词常以复数形式出现,Lessons表示课程。
    例5 There on the wall, they are very nice.

    C. is a photo D. is photo
    答案: A
