名词英语语法需要注意的几点与实战演练
1. 名词的数
1) 复合名词变为复数的规则
有主体名词的复数形式(lookers-on,passers-by等)和无主体名词的复数形式(grown-ups,go-betweens等)。
2) 集体名词的数
①有些集体名词只能用作复数。如:cattle,police,people等。
注意:people意为“民族;种族”时有单、复数形式。
②有些集体名词只能用作单数。如:machinery,furniture,jewellery,mankind等。
③有些集体名词作为整体看待时,用作单数;指其中各个成员时,用作复数。如:class
family,couple,audience,government,public等。
The whole family are watching TV now.全家人现在都在看电视。
His family is a big one.他家是个大家族。
3) 只能用复数形式的名词由两部分构成的名词:glasses,trousers, shorts,scissors,gloves,scales,compasses等。
4) the +姓氏的复数,表全家人: the Blacks, the Wangs
5) 具有双重特性的名词
(1)意义不同的可数和不可数名词
a room房间一room空间 a chicken鸡一chicken鸡肉
an experience经历一experience经验an agreement协议一agreement同意
(2)单、复数意思不同的名词
arm手臂一arms武器 brain脑一brains智力custom风俗一customs海关
force力量一forces军队 regard注意,关心一regards问候 time时间一times时代
work工作一works作品,工厂manner态度一manners礼貌spirit精神一spirits心情,情绪
content内容一contents目录loss损失一losses损失物condition状况一conditions条件
expression表达一expressions短语feeling感觉一feelings感情wood木头一woods树林
2. 名词的所有格
1) 表示两者或两者以上共同所有,在最后一个词的后面加’s;表示各自拥有时,每个名词后都要+s”。如Li and Ma’s room李和马共有的房间; Li’s and Ma’s rooms李和马各自的房间
2) 表某人家或店铺,诊所。如:Li’s李家,the doctor’s诊所;the barber’s理发店
3) 所有格除了用于有生命的物体外,也可以用于表示国家、城市等的名词。如:
China's prosperity中国的繁荣 the country's plan国家计划
4) of所有格也可用于有生命的物体,用于名词较长或名词的定语较长时。
如:a story of a famous doctor一个名医的故事
the son of the man you iust talked to刚刚和你说话的那个男人的儿子
5) 双重所有格
“of +名词的’s所有格或名词性物主代词”称为双重所有格。of后的宾
语必须是人,而且是特指。如:
an old friend of my uncle's我叔叔的一个老朋友
a play of Shakespeare's莎士比亚的一部戏剧
some houses of my grandfather's我爷爷的一些房子
