可数名词和不可数名词
在学习名词时,有一个问题特别重要——即名词的可数与不可数。可数名词是指能以数目来计算,可以分成个体的人或东西;因此它有复数形式,当它的复数形式在句子中作主语时,句子的谓语也应用复数形式。
不可数名词是指不能以数目来计算,不可以分成个体的概念、状态、品质、感情或表示物质材料的东西;它一般没有复数形式,只有单数形式。它在句子中作主语时,句子的谓语也只用单数形式。
一、名词的概念:表示人、事物或抽象概念的名称的词。
二、名词的分类:名词分为普通名词和专有名词。
(一) 普通名词包括可数名词和不可数名词,可数名词可用作单数,也可用作复数。
可数名词包括个体名词(表示一类人或物的个体,如:girl;desk;dog;window;book;pen等)和集体名词(由若干个体组成的集合体,如:family;class;people等)。
不可数名词包括物质名词(表示无法分为个体的实物,如:water;paper;silk;honey;cream;money等)和抽象名词(表示性质、行为、状态、感情或其它抽象概念,如:work;happiness;music;difficulty;beauty;youth;poverty等)。
(二) 专有名词表示个人、地方、机构、组织等,如:Tom;the Great Wall;the Spring Festival;France;China;Christmas等。
三、名词的数:
(一) 可数名词有单数和复数两种形式,其复数形式的构成主要有以下几种:
1. 规则变化:
(1) 一般情况下,在词尾加s。例如:
book—books;hat—hats;pencil—pencils;girl—girls
以清辅音结尾的名词后的s的读音为/s/,以浊辅音和元音结尾名词后的s读音为/z/。
在/p//t//k//f/等清辅音后→/s/:cups;cats;books;photographs
在/b//d//g//v/等浊辅音后→/z/:cards;bags;knives;labs;lions
(2)以s,x,ch,sh结尾的名词,变复数时,要在词尾加-es。例如:
beach—beaches,brush—brushes,
bus—buses,box—boxes,
class—classes,glass—glasses,
lunch—lunches
(3)以“辅音字母+y”结尾的名词,先变y为i,再加-es。例如:
baby—babies city—cities,
family—families,country—countries,
strawberry—strawberries(ies读音为[iz])
注意:以“元音字母 + y”结尾的词,直接在词尾加-s。例如:
holidays;days;plays;ways;donkeys;boys;toys
(4)以-f或-fe结尾的名词,变复数时,先把f或fe变为v,再加-es。例如:
wife—wives,leaf—leaves,
half—halves,knife—knives,
thief—thieves shelf—shelves(ves读音为[vz])
2. 不规则变化:
(1)以o结尾的名词,一般在词尾加-s。例如:
zoo—zoos;radio—radios;
photo—photos;piano—pianos,
kangaroo—kangaroos
而有些在词尾加-es,它们是“黑人英雄爱吃土豆和西红柿”。
negro—negroes;hero—heroes;
potato—potatoes;tomato—tomatoes
(2)有些名词由单数变复数时,不是在词尾加s或es,而是变换其中的字母。例如:
man—men;
woman—women;
policeman—policemen;
Englishman—Englishmen;
Frenchman—Frenchmen;
foot—feet;tooth—teeth;
child—children;
mouse—mice;
ox—oxen(公牛)
(3) 还有一些名词的单数和复数形式相同。例如:
Chinese—Chinese;Japanese—Japanese;
sheep—sheep;deer—deer
(4) 复合名词:
① 前面的名词是man或woman,变复数时,构成复合名词的两个名词全都要变成复数形式。例如:
man teacher—men teachers;
woman driver—women drivers
② 如果是其他词,变复数时,只需把后面的名词变成复数形式。例如:
boy student—boy students;
apple tree—apple trees
③与介词或副词一起构成的复合名词应在主体名词部分加-s。例如:
brother-in-law — brothers-in-law;
passer-by — passers-by。
(5) 有些以f或fe结尾的词直接加s变成复数。例如:
roof—roofs,chief—chiefs,gulf—gulfs
(6)某国人的复数
口诀:中日不变英法变,其余s加后面。例如:
Chinese(中国人)—Chinese;Japanese(日本人)—Japanese
Englishman(英国人)—Englishmen;Frenchman(法国人)—Frenchmen
German(德国人)— Germans;American(美国人)—Americans
(7)有些名词通常只用作复数。例如:
glasses眼镜;clothes衣服;
goods货物;trousers裤子
(8)集体名词的数:
① 有些集体名词通常只用作复数,如:people;cattle;police
② 有些名词既可用作单数又可用作复数,单数看作整体,复数看作集体的各个成员。例如:
This family is a big family.
My family are watching TV.
There are 50 students in this class.
The class are listening to their teacher.
(二) 不可数名词一般没有复数形式,但是可以用一些量词来表示不可数名词的数量。
(1)表不定数量时,一般用much,(a)1ittle,a lot of/lots of,some,any等词修饰。例如:
much money;a little bread;
a lot of ice cream;some juice
(2) 表确定数量时,一般用“数词+量词+of+不可数名词。变复数时可以把前面的量词变成复数。例如:
a bottle of milk;
a glass of water;
a can of beer;
a piece of paper;
two bottles of milk;
two pieces of paper;
two glasses of water
注意:我们也可用“数词+量词+of+名词复数”这一结构表示可数名词的数量。例如:
a box of oranges;
two bags of books;
a room of students
(三)有些词,单数形式和复数形式的词义不同,需特别注意。例如:
sand沙—sands沙滩;
chicken鸡肉—a chicken小鸡;
orange橘汁—an orange橘子;
room空间、余地—a room房间;
