卫生类:基础语法回顾可数名词的单复数
英语可数名词的单复数:英语可数名词有单数和复数两种形式。
1.名词由单数变复数的基本方法如下:
①在单数名词词尾加s.如:map → maps,boy→ boys,horse→ horses, table→ tables.
②s,o,x ,sh,ch结尾的词加es.如:class→classes, box→boxes, hero→heroes, dish→dishes, bench→benches.
[注]:少数以o结尾的词,变复数时只加s.如:photo→photos, piano→pianos.
③以辅音字母加y结尾的名词,变y为i,再加es.如:family→families, city→cities, party→parties.
④以f或fe结尾的名词,变f或fe为v,再加es.如:shelf→shelves, wolf→wolves, life→lives, knife→knives.
2.不规则变化:man→men, woman→women, sheep→sheep,tooth→teeth, fish→fish, child→children, ox→oxen, goose→geese
不可数名词一般没有复数形式,说明其数量时,要用有关计量名词。如:a bag of rice→two bags of rice, a piece of paper→three pieces of paper, a bottle of milk→five bottles of milk.
