1、可数名词VS 不可数名词一、 可数名词单数变复数1. 规则变化词形特点构成方法读音例词大多数名词词尾加-s清辅音后读/s/,浊辅音和元音后读/z/cat-catsbag-bagsbee-bees以s/x/ch/sh等结尾词尾加-es读/iz/class-classeswatch-watches以辅音字母+y结尾变y为i再加-es读/iz/family-familiesbaby-babies以f/fe结尾变f/fe为v再加-es读/vz/leaf-leaveswife-wiveslife-livesknife-knives注(1):以元音字母+y结尾的名词变复数直接加-s,例:toy toys;
2、 day days; boy boys; key keys注(2):以字母o结尾的单词,一般名词直接加-s,例: photo photos; piano pianos; zoo zoos;kilo kilos; radio radios*但在中学阶段,有三个以o结尾的单词, 其后要加-es, 例: hero heroes; potato potatoes; tomato tomatoes2. 初中阶段不规则变化单词: tooth-teeth;foot- feet;goose-geese; man- men ; woman-women; child children; sheep - sheep
3、 ; deer- deer;Chinese Chinese3. 复合名词变复数 (1)一般的复合名词,只把中心词(一般是第二个名词)变复数: apple tree apple trees; pencil box pencil boxes(2)由man和woman构成的复合名词,二者均变复数: man doctor men doctors; woman teacher women teachers二、不可数名词指不可以用数目来计算也不可以分成独立个体的名词。 1. 不可数名词通常包括:物质名词 如milk、water、ink抽象名词 如love、peace 2. 不可数名词通常只有一种形式,没有
4、单复数之分。三、 可数名词与不可数名词的区别 1. 可数名词前可加不定冠词a/an,不可数名词不能。以辅音音标开头的单数可数名词前加a,如:a book, a pen, 以元音音标开头的单数可数名词前加an, 如:an egg, an hour注:有时a/an后面紧接的不是单数名词,而是a /an +形容词+单数名词的形式。这时判断用a还是an,要看形容词开头字母的发音,而不是看名词。如:a man - an English man, an elephant - a young elephant 2. 可数名词前可直接加数词, 不可数名词前需加名词短语修饰。 one book, two boo
5、ks, three factories, a hundred students;a cup of tea, two cups of tea, a glass of milk, two glasses of milk3. 可数名词表示“一点儿”用a few, “大量”用many: a few apples, many students, a few pens, many pencils 不可数名词表示“一点儿”用a little, “大量”用much: a little water, much milk, a little money, much meat但可数名词与不可数名词都可用a lot
6、of/ lots of表示很多, 都可用some表示一些, 如:some apples, some milk, a lot of students, lots of pencils, a lot of milk, lots of meat4. 提问“有多少”:可数名词用How many + 可数名词复数 + 一般疑问句:How many books do you have?How many pencils are there? 不可数名词用How much + 不可数名词 + 一般疑问句:How much milk do you have?How much meat is there?注:询问价钱,可数名词与不可数名词都用How muchHow much is + 不可数名词/可数名词单数How much are + 可数名词复数/两种东西以上How much is your coat?How much is the meat?How much are the potatoes?How much are the coffee and the tea?
