大綱要求掌握: 一、可數(shù)名詞與不可數(shù)名詞
二、可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式
三、名詞的所有格
四、名詞在句子中的作用
一、可數(shù)名詞與不可數(shù)名詞
名詞分可數(shù)與不可數(shù)兩種。
可數(shù)名詞表示某類人或東西中的個(gè)體。如table, country.
或表示若干個(gè)體組成的集合體。如 family, people, committee, police.
不可數(shù)名詞表示無法分為個(gè)體的實(shí)物。如air, tea, furniture, water.
或表示動(dòng)作、狀態(tài)、品質(zhì)、感情等抽象概念。如work, information, advice, happiness.
有些名詞在一種場合下是可數(shù)名詞,在另一種場合下是不可數(shù)名詞。
如room 房間(可數(shù)),空間(不可數(shù))
time 時(shí)間(不可數(shù)),次數(shù)(可數(shù))
fish 魚(不可數(shù)),各種各樣的魚(可數(shù))
比較下列例句:
There are nine rooms in the house. (房間,可數(shù)名詞)
There isn't enough room for us three in the car . (空間,不可數(shù)名詞)
不可數(shù)名詞的數(shù)量可以通過在其前面加單位詞來表示。
如: 一塊肉 a piece of meat
兩條長面包 two loaves of bread
三件家具 three articles of furniture
一大筆錢 a large sum of money
二、可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式
可數(shù)名詞有單數(shù)和復(fù)數(shù)兩種形式。名詞復(fù)數(shù)的構(gòu)成如下:
1.一般情況下在名詞后加-s.如:girls, books.
★濁輔音、元音結(jié)尾,s發(fā)[z]
2.以s, x , ch, sh結(jié)尾的詞在名詞后加-es.如:glasses, boxes, matches, bushes.
★以s, x , ch, sh結(jié)尾,es發(fā)[iz]
3.“輔音字母+y”結(jié)尾的詞,變y為i再加-es.如:city-cities, country-countries.
4.以o結(jié)尾的詞多數(shù)加-es.如:heroes, tomatoes, potatoes.
radios, zoos, photos, pianos, kilos 例外。
5.f, fe 結(jié)尾的詞,多數(shù)變f,fe為v再加-es.如:thief-thieves, leaf-leaves, half-halves, life-lives, wife-wives, knife-knives.
少數(shù)名詞有不規(guī)則的復(fù)數(shù)形式。如:man-men, woman-women, foot-feet, tooth-teeth, child-children, mouse-mice.
★可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)一般情況下考不規(guī)則復(fù)數(shù)形式。
個(gè)別名詞的單數(shù)和復(fù)數(shù)的形式是一樣的。如Chineses, Japanese, sheep, deer.
三、名詞的所有格
名詞的所有格表示所屬關(guān)系, 起形容詞的作用。
當(dāng)名詞表示有生命的東西時(shí),所有格一般是在詞尾加 's .
如:Jean's room, my daughter-in-law's friends, my daughters-in-law's friends, children's books.
如果名詞已經(jīng)有了復(fù)數(shù)詞尾s, 則只需加'.如:the teachers' books, my parents' car.
時(shí)間名詞的所有格在后面加's ,復(fù)數(shù)加' .如:today's newspaper, five minutes' walk.
當(dāng)名詞表示無生命的東西時(shí),所有格常由“of”短語構(gòu)成。
如:the top of the world, the cover of the book, China's capital.
加 's 或 ' 的名詞所有格可以表示店鋪或某人的家。
如:the grocer's, the tailor's, the Smith's .
★名詞所有格考試常見部分是
名詞表示沒有生命的東西時(shí),不能直接在其后加's.
時(shí)間名詞所有格在其后加's,或復(fù)數(shù)名詞后直接加'.
