1.名词
名词按意义分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,sadne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:表示一群人或一些事物的名称,如:family。
3)物质名词:表示物质或不具备确定形状和大小的个体的物质,如:air。
4)抽象名词:表示人或事物的行为、状态、品质、情感或其他抽象概念的名称,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。 可数名词的复数
1.1 名词复数的规则变化
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:
如: two Marys
the Henrys
monkey---monkeys holiday---holidays
比较: 层楼:storey ---storeys
story---stories
2) 以o 结尾的名词,变复数时:
a.有生命的名词加-es,如:tomato---tomatoes,potato---potatoes b.无生命的名词加-s,如: photo---photos c.结尾是两个元音字母的名词加-s,如:zoo---zoos,radio---radios d.zero变复数时,既可以加-s,也可以加-es 3) 以f或fe 结尾的名词变复数时:
去f,fe 加ves,如:half---halves
knife---knives leaf---leaves wolf---wolves
wife---wives life---lives thief---thieves; 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:与 man 和 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;
2)单复同形 如:
deer,sheep,fish,Chinese,Japanese
li, yuan,two li,
但除人民币元、角、分外,美元、英镑、法郎等都有复数形式。如:a dollar, two dollars;
a pound,three pounds 3)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, the English,the British,the French,the Chinese,the Japanese,the Swi 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,为不可数名词,是单数。
b.news 是不可数名词。
c.以复数形式出现的书名,剧名,报纸,杂志名,也可视为单数。
\"The Arabian Nights\" is a very interesting story-book. >是一本非常有趣的故事书。
5) 表示由两部分构成的东西,如:glaes (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 glaes; two pairs of trousers 1.4 不可数名词量的表示
物质名词和抽象名词可以借助单位词表一定的数量。
如:
a gla of water 一杯水
