不可數名詞 集體名詞 不規則名詞單復數

【不可數名詞】

1、最常見的不可數名詞有：advice, baggage, change(零錢), furniture, hair, homework, information, knowledge, luggage, money, news, progress, traffic

2、其它不可數名詞還有：absence, age, anger, courage, energy, equipment, experience, failure, fear, food, fun, health, ice, industry, kindness, labour, luck, marriage, music, nature, paper, peace, pleasure, power, pride, rain, research, respect, safety, salt, sand, silence, sleep, strength, snow, technology, time, trade, transport, travel, trust, truth, waste, water, wealth, weather, wind, work（工作）

【集合名詞】

有些集合名詞，ommittee,council,crew,crowd,family,gang,government,group,mob,staff,team, union等，在意義上是復數，但在語法形式上是單數，這類名詞作主語的主謂一致問題往往遵循“語法一致”或“意義一致”原則。

例如：

The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.A council of elders governs the tribe.The present government is trying to control inflation.The school staff are expected to supervise school meals.（一）通常作復數的集體名詞

包括police,people, cattle, militia, vermin等，這些集體名詞通常用作復數。例如：

The British police have only very limited powers.The militia were called out to guard the borderland.It seems the cattle on the sides of the dikes were the only living creatures in these desolate surroundings.（二）通常作不可數名詞的集體名詞

通常作不可數名詞的集體名詞，包括poultry,foliage，machinery, equipment,furniture, merchandise等,這類名詞后的動詞用單數形式。例如：

Poultry is expensive at this time of year.That green foliage was restful.The merchandise has arrived undamaged.All the machinery in the factory is made in China.The suite of furniture he bought was of contemporary style.The equipment of the photographic studio was expensive.（三）可作單數也可作復數的集體名詞

可作單數也可作復數的集體名詞,包括audience, committee, crew, family, government,jury等。

例如：

The audience was/were enthusiastic on the opening night of the play.The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.The jury is/are about to announce the winners.The government has/have discussed the matter for a long time.【不規則名詞】

名詞復數的不規則變化

1）child---children foot---feet tooth---teeth mouse---mice man---men woman---women 注意：與 man 和 woman構成的合成詞，其復數形式也是-men 和-women。如： an Englishman，two Englishmen.但German不是合成詞，故復數形式為Germans；Bowman是姓，其復數是the Bowmans。

2）單復同形 如： deer，sheep，fish，Chinese，Japanese li，jin，yuan，two li，three mu，four jin 但除人民幣元、角、分外，美元、英鎊、法郎等都有復數形式。如: a dollar, two dollars;a meter, two meters 3）集體名詞，以單數形式出現，但實為復數。如： people police cattle 等本身就是復數，不能說 a people，a police，a cattle，但可以說 a pers on，a policeman，a head of cattle,the English，the British，the French，the Chinese，the Japanese，the Swiss 等名詞，表示國民總稱時，作復數用。如： The Chinese are industries and brave.中國人民是勤勞勇敢的。

4）以s結尾，仍為單數的名詞，如： a.maths，politics，physics等學科名詞，為不可數名詞，是單數。b.news 是不可數名詞。c.the United States，the United Nations 應視為單數。The United Nations was organized in 1945.聯合國是1945年組建起來的。d.以復數形式出現的書名，劇名，報紙，雜志名，也可視為單數。The Arabian Nights is a very interesting story-book.>是一本非常有趣的故事書。

5)表示由兩部分構成的東西，如：glasses(眼鏡)trousers, clothes 若表達具體數目，要借助數量詞 pair(對，雙);suit(套);a pair of glasses;two pairs of trousers

6）另外還有一些名詞，其復數形式有時可表示特別意思，如：goods貨物,waters水域,fishes（各種）魚 【雙寫】 在不特殊的情況下，當原形最后一個音節為重讀閉音節時，需要雙寫。比如：swim——swimming run——running put——putting begin——begging 想不起來都是雙寫的.不一定都只有一個元音字母

【規律】

除了最后一個雙寫比較有規律之外，都沒有規律，要多讀多練，慢慢就都記住了。不要花太多時間在找規律上，遇見一個記一個。

第三篇：名詞單復數

一、名詞

名詞可以分為可數名詞與不可數名詞，其中可數名詞具有單、復數的形式；而不可數名詞沒有復數形式。

1.從單數 復數，變形規則如下：

1．一般情況下，直接加-s，如：book-books, bag-bags, cat-cats, bed-beds 2．以s.x.sh.ch結尾，加-es，如：bus-buses, box-boxes, watch-watches 3．以“輔音字母+y”結尾，變y為i, 再加-es，如：family-families（家庭）, strawberry-strawberries（草莓）

4．以“f或fe”結尾，變f或fe為v, 再加-es，如：knife-knives 5．不規則名詞復數： man-men, woman-women, policeman（男警察）-policemen, policewoman（女警察）-policewomen, mouse-mice child（孩子）-children foot-feet,.tooth-teeth fish-fish, sheep（羊）-sheep people-people, Chinese-Chinese, Japanese-Japanese,當people后加上s時即peoples表示“民族”例如：There are 56 peoples in China.中國有56個民族。2.以下詞為常為不可數名詞，他們的復數形式就是他們本身。

Water(水)milk(牛奶)tea(茶)rice(米飯)orange（橙汁）juice（果汁）bread（面包）練習題 寫出下列各詞的復數

I _________this ___________that___________ watch _______child _______photo ________diary _________ day________ foot________ book_______ dress ______________ tooth_______ sheep ______box_______ strawberry _____________ thief _______yo-yo ______ peach______ sandwich _______________ man______ woman_______ paper_______ juice____________________ water________ milk________ rice__________ tea_______________-注意be 動詞遇到名詞時的運用: 單數名詞用is, 復數名詞全用are.名詞單復數講解及練習名詞單復數

（1）名詞可以分為可數名詞和不可數名詞，不可數名詞沒有單復數，一律看作單數。（2）可數名詞的單數前什么時候用a，什么時候用an？ 答：以元音音標（或音素）開頭的用an。以輔音音標（或音素）開頭的用a。注意：我們看的是音標（或音素），而不是元音字母。

一、選擇a或an或不填（用/表示）pen bag apple big apple banana orange oranges orange pen（3）可數名詞的變化規則：

① 般在詞尾加s，如：books，bags，fruits。加s之后的讀音②以s、x、ch、sh結尾的名詞加es，③以輔音字母加y結尾的名詞，變y為i再加es，讀[iz]；以元音字母加y結尾的名詞直接在詞尾加s。

② 如：baby —— babies ③ ④以f、fe結尾的名詞變f、fe為ves,如：wolf [wulf] 狼——wolves wife（妻子）— life（生命）— knife —

④ ⑤以o結尾的名詞加es 的有：如：zoo——zoos photo——photos（4）名詞復數的不規則變化：

⑤ man—men男人 woman[wumEn]—women [5wimin] 女人tooth [tu:W]—teeth [ti:W] 牙齒 foot [fut]—feet [fi:t] 腳，英尺 goose [gu:s]—geese [gi:z] 鵝 mouse [maus] —mice [mais] 老鼠 ⑥ ②child [tFaild]—children [5tFildrEn] 孩子 ③單復同形的名詞有：

⑦ chinese [5tFaini:z] 中國人Japanese [7dVApE5ni:z]日本人 sheep [Fi:p] 綿羊 deer [diE] 鹿 fish [fiF] 魚

⑧ 注意：fish①當一條魚講時，單復數同形，如three fish.②當各種各樣的魚講時，即強調魚的種類時，要加es.⑨ 如：all kinds[kaindz] of fishes.各種各樣的魚 ③當魚肉講時，不可數。

一、名詞復數規則

⑩ 1．一般情況下，直接加-s，如：book-books, bag-bags, cat-cats, bed-beds ? 2．以s.x.sh.ch結尾，加-es，如：bus-buses, box-boxes, brush-brushes,watch-watches 3．以“輔音字母+y”結尾，變y為i, 再加-es，如：family-families, strawberry-strawberries 4．以“f或fe”結尾，變f或fe為v, 再加-es，如：knife-knives 5．不規則名詞復數：

? man-men, woman-women, policeman-policemen, policewoman-policewomen, mouse-mice child-children ? foot-feet,.tooth-teeth ? fish-fish, people-people, Chinese-Chinese, Japanese-Japanese ?

? 1.I have two_____(knife)? 2.There are many _____ here.(box)? 3.There are many _____ on the road.(bus)4.A few _____ are drawing on the wall.(boy)5.The _____ are playing football now.(child)?

兔兒們，元宵節就要到了，Happy the Lantern Festival!元宵節快樂呀，代我向你們全家問好。the Lantern Festival（元宵節）。

? 今天我們一起來回顧一下，名詞復數形式的變化規則； 1.大多數情況下，直接加s 21 2.以 s x sh ch結尾的名詞變復數，加es 22 3.以 f fe 結尾的名詞變復數，把 f fe 變為ves.23 4.以輔音字母加y 結尾的名詞變復數，把y 變 i 再加es.例如，family 以輔音字母l 加y 結尾，所以復數形式為families, 24 boy也是以y 結尾的，但它是以元音字母o加y結尾的，所以復數形式為boys 5.有些以字母o 結尾的名詞變復數加es,例tomatoes,potatoes 6.還有一些不規則變化的，需要同學們分清記牢。如sheep——sheep，child------children Text 1 名詞（總分100分）

第五篇：淺議集體名詞的單復數

淺議集體名詞的單復數

■崔長平

河南遂平一高（463100）

在英語中，集體名詞本身的單、復數形式及集體名詞在句中用作單數還是復數，往往由于詞義、詞類的變化、可數與不可數等因素而相互有所不同，但還是有規律可循的。

一．集體名詞本身的單、復數形式。

（1）只有單數形式，沒有復數形式。常見的有：police，mankind，cattle，people（人），militia，society，the public，the world等。一般來說，集體名詞多以單數形式出現。有些語法稱這類沒有復數形式的集體名詞為“無限集體名詞（unlimited collective noun.）”。

（2）即有單數形式，又有復數形式。常見的有：party—parties，class—classes，family—families，crowd—crowds，group—groups，committee—committees 等。但無論是單數形式還是復數形式均未改變其集體名詞的詞類。它們可稱為“有限集體名詞（limited collective noun.）” 二．集體名詞在句中用作單數還是復數？（1）多數表示有生命的集體名詞常作復數用。Several hundred police were on duty last night.Many cattle are kept on the farm.The militia were called out to guard the borderland.The enemy were forced to retreat.Their present staff number 1500.（2）有些集體名詞只作單數用。

New machinery was introduced in this country.There isn’t much furniture in the room.（3）有些集體名詞如：class，family，the world，the public，government，team，audience，committee，couple，crew等，如看作整體的就作單數用，如被看作組成該集體的各個成員時就作復數用。

①The audience is enormous.The audience were enjoying every minute of the play.②The class is big.The class are taking notes in English.③My family was small.His family are all walking on the lawn.（4）有些集體名詞通常都用作單數，表示整體。但如表示“若干個?? ；若干種??”等意義時，則需要使用復數形式。如：

①His hair is gray.He had a few white hairs.②The fruit is ripening.She likes pears, peaches, and other juicy fruits.
