英语中的可数名词与不可数名词
英语中的可数名词与不可数名词 (2011-11-03 08:57:47) 转载▼ 分类：词汇 标签： 可数名词 不可数名词 英语 词汇 杂谈 最近在给同学们辅导英语的时候，发现很多同学分不清可数名词与不可数名词，它与中文的习惯不一样，不能直接推测，只能死记硬背，比如：fruit是不可数名词，vegetable就是可数名词，所以我搜集了下资料，发现网上还总结了不少，一起来看一下吧： vegetable经常以它的复数形式出现——vegetables fruit泛指水果不可数，强调水果种类可数，：I like fruit. (我喜欢吃水果）There are different kinds of fruits in this shop.（这家店里有许多不同种类的水果。）apple:可数名词an apple many apples paper:不可数名词 a piece of paper , two pieces of paper 物质名词或抽象名词一般都是不可数的。不可数名词没有单数和复数的区别，例如：news 新闻advice 建议 water 水ice 冰tea 茶meat 肉milk 牛奶 age 年龄time 时间help 帮助luck 运气work 工作 有少数物质名词也有复数形式，不过它们的含义则有所不同了，例如： glass 不可数名词玻璃glasses 可数名词眼镜 water 不可数名词水waters 可数名词某个河流、湖泊的水 顺便说一下，有些物质名词本身也是可数名词，但其含义也有所不同了。例如： 物质名词可数名词 glass 玻璃a glass 玻璃杯 paper 纸张a paper 报纸；论文 wood 木头a wood 树林 gold 金子a gold 金牌 1. 可数名词有单复数之分。在句中，名词的单数形式前边要有冠词或表示单数的限定词，否则就要用其复数形式。名词的复数形式通常是在单数形式后加词尾s、es，或将y改为i 再加es。但如果名词前边有表示单数的冠词或表示单数的限定词，就不能用其复数形式 2. 有少数名词的复数形式是不规则的，child→children, man→men, woman→women, foot→feet, tooth→teeth, goose→geese, mouse→mice, ox→oxen 3. 英语里还有些名词的单复数变化较为特殊，需特别注意 analysis→analyses, bacterium→bacteria, basis→bases, crisis→crises, criterion→criteria, datum→data, formula→formulae(或formulas), fungus→fungi, phenomenon→phenomena,syllabus→syllabi, thesis→theses 4. 有些名词的单复数是一样的：aircraft, spacecraft, Chinese, deer, fish, Japanese, means, series, species等。 5. 如果前边有表示复数的限定词时名词用其复数形式 6. 在形容词最高级中，表示范围的of后要用名词复数形式 7. 有些集体名词在形式上是单数如people(人民，人们)，police(警察)，cattle(牲畜)，staff(全体人员，全体职员)，但它们表达复数的含意。如果这些词做主语，其谓语须用复数形式。

经典英语笑话故事大全
经典英语笑话故事大全 Four Catholic ladies were having coffee. The first Catholic woman tells her friends "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him "Father." The second Catholic woman chirps, "My son is a bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people call him, "Your Grace." The third Catholic mother says, "My son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, "Your Eminence." Since the fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence, the first three women give her this subtle, "Well?" So she replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6' 2", hard-bodied dancer. When he walks into a room, people say, "Oh my God!" A drunken man staggered into a Catholic church, sat down in the Confessional and said nothing. The priest is waiting and waiting and waiting. The priest coughs to attract the drunk man's attention, but still the man says nothing. The priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak. Finally the drunk replies, "No use knockin,' pal. There's no paper." As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward. "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray." "Good," said the captain, "you pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets - we're one short." A man went to see his Rabbi and said, "Rabbi, if I give up drinking, partying all night, chasing the opposite sex and start coming to Synagogue regularly instead, will I live longer?" "No," the Rabbi replied, "It will just feel longer."
可数名词不可数名词
可数名词与不可数名词 名词分可数名词与不可数名词。 1．有些名词总是用作可数名词的，如： leg，dog，pen．有些名词总是用作不可数名词，如： pork，gold，honesty．有些则有时用作可数名词，有时用作不可数名词，如：It is made of glass.（不可数） He held a glass.（可数） 与5类名词的关系 区分5类名词对决定一个名词是可数还是不可数有极其重要的意义。C代表可数（Countable），用U代表不可数（Uncountable）。1．大多数普通名词为可数名词，如： a chair，another car，dogs． 2．多数集体名词也是可数名词，如：（a）family，（each）class，（all） parties，（different） nations。 3．专有名词，多数作不可数名词，如：London，China，Ham-bet，Neptune；但有些为可数名词，如 Communists，English-men。4．物质名词一般不可数，如：milk，gold，coffee，beer．但有些可用作可数名词，表示特殊意义，如：an ice-cream（一份冰淇淋），a light rain（一阵小雨）。 5．多数的抽象名词既可作不可数名词，也可作可数名词（这时意思有些变化），如： 不可数可数beauty 美 a beauty 美人 disappointment 失望 a disappointment 失望的事 C．普通名词和物质名词 不过一个名词的可数与不可数问题最终还是靠习惯决定，习惯用法是自然形成的，不能靠简单的条文来推断。虽说表示可数的东西为可数名词，否则为不可数名词，但总有些特殊情况。在表示定形之物时，物质名词也可用作可数名词，在强调某种特性时，普通名词也可变成不可数名词。 1．气体名称通常作不可数名词，如：oxygen（氧气），hydrogen（氢气）。但odour（气味），flavor（味道），cloud（云）是可数名词；而fire则既可作不可数名词，也可作可数名词。 2．液体名称一般为不可数名词，如：milk，water；但beverage（饮料），cocktail（鸡尾酒）为可数名词，而juice（汁）、sauce （调味液）、liquor（酒）既可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词。 3．药品名称通常不可数，如： codeine；但antibiotic（抗生素），insecticide（杀虫剂），vitamin（维生素）都是可数的。4．植物中有些的名称既作可数名词，也可作不可数名词，如： 可数不可数 a pine 松树 pine 松木 a pepper 青椒 pepper 胡椒粉 5．表示天气的名词多作不可数名词，如：lightning（闪电），thunder（雷），snow，但有些为可数名词，如： comet（慧星），sunbean（阳光），ray（光线）。有些可用作两类，如： mist（浓雾），dew（露水），rain。 6．表示动物的名词一般为可数名词，如： monkey，elephant，shrimp（虾），但有些可用于两类情况，如： 可数不可数 a chicken鸡 chicken鸡肉 a duck 鸭 duck鸭肉 a fish鱼 fish 鱼（肉） 7．物质名词一般不可数，如： iron，plaster（石膏），mercury（水银）。有些两者都可以，如：chalk（粉笔），brick（砖），coal（煤）。 D．集体名词 26 有个别集体名词可用作不可数名词，如： police（警察总称），cattle（牲口），produce（农产品），vegetation（植物），clothing（衣服），furniture（家具），pottery（陶器）。 E．抽象名词 27 1．在一万个抽象名词中约有 72％（约7 200字）常常或有时既作不可数名词，又作可数名词，如： belief，beliefs； birth，births； hope，hopes；fear，fears。
初中英语——可数名词和不可数名词
初中英语——可数名词和不可数名词 一、可数名词与不可数名词的区别 普通名词所表示的人或事物是可以按个数计算的，这类名词叫可数名词。可数名词分为个体名词（表示某类人或事物中的个体，如worker, farmer, desk, factory等）和集体名词（表示作为一个整体来看的一群人或一些事物，如people, family 等）。如果普通名词所表示的事物是不能按个数来计算的，这类名词就叫不可数名词。不可数名词分为物质名词（表示无法分为个体的物质，如meat, rice, water, milk, orange 等）和抽象名词（表示动作、状态、情况、品质等抽象概念，如work, homework, time, health, friendship等）。 二、关于可数名词 可数名词有单数和复数两种形式。指一个人或一件事物时，用单数形式；指两个或多个人或事物时用复数形式。名词由单数形式变成复数形式的规则如下： 1. 一般的名词词尾直接加-s 。如： book → books room → rooms house → houses day → days 2. 以s,ss, ch,sh, x 结尾的名词，在词尾加-es 。如： bus → buses glass → glasses watch → watches dish → dishes box → boxes 3. 以"辅音字母+y"结尾的名词，要先将y改为i再加-es。如： city → cities body → bodies factory → factories等等。 4. 以f 或fe 结尾的名词，要将f或fe改为v再加-es。如： half → halves leaf → leaves knife → knives wife → wives 5. 特例[悄悄话：特例常常考，要记住。] ①child → children ②man → men woman → women policeman → policemen （规律：man → men） ③tomato → tomatoes potato → potatoes [悄悄话：初中英语以o 结尾的名词变复数时只有这两个词加-es，其余的当然加-s喽！如：photo → photos ] ④foo t → feet tooth → teeth [悄悄话：oo变成ee。] ⑤sheep, Chinese, Japanese单、复数同形[悄悄话：变复数时词形不变。] ⑥people单数形式表示复数意义，要求谓语动词用复数；people的复数形式peoples通常指“多个民族”。 三、关于不可数名词 1. 不可数名词没有复数，当它作句子的主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。 如：The food is very fresh.食品很新鲜。 2. 有的不可数名词也可以作可数名词，有复数形式，但他们的意义往往发生变化。 如：water （水）→ waters （水域）

可数名词和不可数名词复数变化规则
可数名词和不可数名词复数变化规则 英语中的名词指的是一种抽象的或者具体的事物，它有可数和不可数之分。所谓可数名词指的就是在数量上可以计数，可以数出数量的事物；所谓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。 一、可数名词在它之前可以加上冠词a/an（以元音字母a,e,i,o,u开头的字母前冠词用an)。而不可数名词前面是不可以直接加冠词的。可数名词复数变化规律如下： a. 一般情况下，直接加 -s，如：book-books, bag-bags, cat-cats, bed-beds ；读音：清辅音后读[s]，浊辅音和元音后读[z]。 b．以s,x,ch,sh结尾，加-es，如：bus-buses, box-boxes, brush-brushes, watch-watches ；读音：[iz]。 c．以“辅音字母+y”结尾，变y为i, 再加-es，如：family-families, baby-babies 婴儿；读音：[z]。 以“元音字母+y”结尾，直接加-s，如：monkey-monkeys,toy-toys 读音：[s]。 d．以“f或fe”结尾，变f或fe为v, 再加-es，如：knife-knives, leaf---leaves树叶；读音：[z]。e．以“o”结尾的词，分两种情况 1）有生命的加-es 读音：[z] 如：mango-mangoes，tomato-tomatoes ，hero-heroes 2) 无生命的加-s 读音：[z] 如：photo-photos，radio-radios f. 以ce,se,ze,de,ge结尾，加-s，如：exercise-exercises，读音：[z]。 g. 不规则名词：小老鼠爬灯台，偷油吃下不来。男人当警察，保护妇女跟儿童； 英国人的牙咬了法国人的脚；养了一头日本羊，送给了中国人； 养了一头鹿跟鹅，卖给了瑞士人。 man-men, woman-women, policeman-policemen, policewoman-policewomen, goose---geese鹅，mouse(老鼠）-mice, child-children, foot-feet, tooth-teeth, ox-oxen(公牛）h. 除此之外，还有一部分名词单复数同形，如： fish鱼，deer鹿，sheep绵羊,news 新闻，goods 商品，fish，people 人，human人类 i. 有一些名词则只有复数形式：trousers裤子，pants裤子，shorts短裤 glasses眼镜，compasses 圆规，scales天平，pliers钳子，clips剪子 j. “某国人”的复数有三种类型： （1）Chinese, Japanese, Swiss 三国人单数复数同形，不需加s； （2）Englishman, Frenchman, Dutchman复数要把 man 变为men； 注意：German的复数是Germans,它的man不是词根，而是由Germany演变过来的。（3）其他各国人以–an, -ian结尾的均直接加s。如：Americans, Australians, Indians等。 可依照这个口诀记忆：中日瑞士均不变，英法荷兰都要变，其他”s”加后面。
