英语名词变复数的规则及练习题
1. 名词
名词可以分为专有名词和普通名词，专有名词是某个（些）人，地方，机构等专有的名称，如Beijing，China等。普通名词是一类人或东西或是一个抽象概念的名词，如：book，sadness等。普通名词又可分为下面四类：
1）个体名词：表示某类人或东西中的个体，如：gun。
2）集体名词：表示若干个个体组成的集合体，如：family。
3）物质名词：表示无法分为个体的实物，如：air。
4）抽象名词：表示动作、状态、品质、感情等抽象概念，如：work。
个体名词和集体名词可以用数目来计算，称为可数名词，物质名词和抽象名词一般无法用数目计算，称为不可数名词。

1.2 其它名词复数的规则变化
1）以y结尾的专有名词，或元音字母+y 结尾的名词变复数时，直接加s变复数。例如：two Marys the Henrys
monkey---monkeys holiday---holidays
2）以o 结尾的名词，变复数时：
a. 加s，如：photo---photos piano---pianos
radio---radios zoo---zoos；
b. 加es，如：potato--potatoes tomato--tomatoes

1.3 名词复数的不规则变化
1）child---children foot---feet tooth---teeth
mouse---mice man---men woman---women
注意：由一个词加man 或woman构成的合成词，其复数形式也是-men 和-women，如an Englishman，two Englishmen。但German不是合成词，故复数形式为Germans；Bowman是姓，其复数是the Bowmans。
2）单复同形，如deer，sheep，fish，Chinese，Japanese ，li，jin，yuan，two li，three mu，four jin等。但除人民币的元、角、分外，美元、英镑、法郎等都有复数形式。如：a dollar, two dollars; a meter, two meters。
3）集体名词，以单数形式出现，但实为复数。例如：
people police cattle 等本身就是复数，不能说 a people，a police，a cattle，但可以说a person，a policeman，a head of cattle, the English，the British，the French，the Chinese，the Japanese，the Swiss 等名词，表示国民总称时，作复数用，如The Chinese are industries and brave.中国人民是勤劳勇敢的。
4）以s结尾，仍为单数的名词，如：
a. maths，politics，physics等学科名词，一般是不可数名词，为单数。
b. news 为不可数名词。
c. the United States，the United Nations 应视为单数。
The United Nations was organized in 1945. 联合国是1945年组建起来的。
d. 以复数形式出现的书名，剧名，报纸，杂志名，也可视为单数。例如：
"The Arabian Nights" is a very interesting story-book. 《一千零一夜》是一本非常有趣的故事书。
5）表示由两部分构成的东西，如：glasses （眼镜）trousers,clothes等，若表达具体数目，要借助数量词pair（对，双）;suit（套）; a pair of glasses; two pairs of trousers等。
6）另外还有一些名词，其复数形式有时可表示特别意思，如：goods货物，waters水域，fishes（各种）鱼。
1.4 不可数名词量的表示
1）物质名词
a. 当物质名词转化为个体名词时为可数。
比较：Cake is a kind of food.蛋糕是一种食物。（不可数）
These cakes are sweet.这些蛋糕很好吃。（可数）
b. 当物质名词表示该物质的种类时，可数。例如：
This factory produces steel.（不可数）
We need various steels.（可数）
c. 当物质名词表示份数时，可数。例如：
Our country is famous for tea. 我国因茶叶而闻名。
Two teas, please. 请来两杯茶。
2）抽象名词表示具体的事例时也可数。例如：
four freedoms 四大自由the four modernizations四个现代化
物质名词和抽象名词可以借助单位词表一定的数量，如a glass of water 一杯水/ a piece of advice一则建议。
5. 定语名词的复数
名词作定语一般用单数，但也有以下例外。
1) 用复数作定语。例如：
sports meeting 运动会students reading-room 学生阅览室
talks table 谈判桌the foreign languages department 外语系
2）man, woman, gentleman等作定语时，其单复数以所修饰的名词的单复数而定。例如：men workers women teachers gentlemen officials
3）有些原有s结尾的名词，作定语时，s保留。例如：
goods train （货车）arms produce武器生产
customs papers 海关文件clothes brush 衣刷4）数词+名词作定语时，这个名词一般保留单数形式。例如：two-dozen eggs两打鸡蛋 a ten-mile walk 十英里路
two-hundred trees 两百棵树 a five-year plan.一个五年计划

英语中有些名词可以加"'s"来表示所有关系，带这种词尾的名词形式称为该名词的所有格，如：a teacher's book。名词所有格的规则如下：
1）单数名词词尾加"'s"，复数名词词尾没有s，也要加"'s"，如the boy's bag 男孩的书包，men's room 男厕所。
2）若名词已有复数词尾-s ，只加" ' "，如：the workers' struggle工人的斗争。
3）凡不能加"'s"的名词，都可以用"名词+of +名词"的结构来表示所有关系，如：the title of the song 歌的名字。
4）在表示店铺或教堂的名字或某人的家时，名词所有格的后面常常不出现它所修饰的名词，如：the barber's 理发店。
5）如果两个名词并列，并且分别有's，则表示"分别有"；只有一个's，则表示'共有'。例如：
John's and Mary's rooms（两间）John and Mary's room（一间）
6）复合名词或短语，'s 加在最后一个词的词尾。例如：a month or two's absence

英语语法 名词单复数总结
名词与名词词组——重点是名词的“数” 名词的数(number)——单数(singular number)和复数(plural number)
英语名词复数的思维规律，及与汉语名词复数的区别 名词的可数与不可数这一区分反映了中国人与英美人在看待客观物质世界时所持的两种不同的世界观。在本栏目接下来的几期内容中,笔者就要和大家一起来探讨“老外”看待物质世界的四大思维规律,帮助大家从英语思维的高度来理解并区分英文名词的可数与不可数。下面笔者首先来分析第一个规律:不可分隔的物质与可分隔的个体物品。该规律包含四个方面的内容,本期先着重讨论第一、二方面的内容。 物质名词表示个体物品时转化为可数名词 在英文中,一个名词若表示无法分隔的物质,或者说被分隔之后各个部分与原先整体没有本质差别,我们就无法用数目来计量它,只能将其看作一个整体,此时该名词是不可数名词。但如果在特定的语境中,这个名词表示能够分隔的个体物品,则转为可数名词。比如说我们每时每刻都需要呼吸的“空气”(air),是无法被分隔成个体的,或者说被分隔之后的各个部分的空气与原先整体的空气没有本质差别,依然还是空气,我们无法用数目1、2、3等来计量它,因而air表示“空气”时是不可
数的。下面举几个例句来说明: 1. Let’s go out and get some fresh air. 让我们出去呼吸些新鲜空气。 在上面这个例子中,air前面没有加不定冠词an修饰,因为air在这个语境中用作不可数名词,不能被不定冠词修饰。值得注意的是,air除了表示大家熟悉的“空气”这个意思之外,还可以指人的外表、神态、气质,或者指周围环境的氛围、气氛。此时,air表示某一种特定的神态、气质或氛围、气氛,是可以数的,因而成了一个可数名词,前面需要加不定冠词an修饰,比如: 2. There was an air of tension at the meeting.会上的气氛有点紧张。 再如下面这个例子,air指人所具有的某种具体的气质、神态: 3. John set about his task with an air of quiet confidence. 约翰悠然自信地开始了自己的工作。 当air表示“空气”这样的物质名词时是不可数的,这从我们汉语的思维角度也能理解,因为在汉语思维里,“空气”也是无法用具体数目去计量的。不过,还有很多物质名词在汉语里是可以用数目计量的,但在英文里是不可数的,这时就需要我们理解英语思维是如何看待这些物质名词的。比如,让我们中国人难以理解的是“纸”(paper)在英文里为什么是不可数的,因为我们汉语里可以说“一张纸”“两张纸”。那么英文思维又是如何看待“纸”是不可数的呢?原来,在英文思维中,“纸”被看做是一种可以无限分割的物质,比如大家拿出一张A4的纸,将它裁成两半、四半、八半等,你可以一直这样无限裁下去,但它还是一张张纸——虽然大小不同,但每张被裁的小纸片与原先A4大小的纸张在物质材料方面是没有区别的。从这个角度来看,“纸”就是不可数的。因此,“两张纸”在英语里不可以直接说“two papers”,而要说成“two pieces of paper”或“two sheets of paper”,比如下面的例句: 4. We send to China little pieces of paper for their goods. 中国人生产产品给美国人用,而我们只给了他们一些小纸片。 这是美国“股神”巴菲特日前批评美国高负债的政策时说的一句话。这里的“小纸片”指的是美国国债。不过,当把paper作为个体的物品,比如作为“报纸”“论文”或“考卷”来讲时,则是可数的。这时我们就可以说“two papers”,但不表示“两张纸”,而是表示“两份报纸”“两篇论文”或“两张考卷”,比如: 5. a. I have a term paper to write on weekend. 我周末有一篇学期论文要写。 b. I bought a paper to read news. 为了了解新闻,我买了一份报纸。 在a句中,paper的意思是“论文”,为可数名词;在b句中,paper相当于newspaper,表示“报纸”,为可数名词。 从以上例子我们看到,随着词义不同,paper的可数性也不同。与此类似的名词还有glass,该词表示“玻璃”时是不可数名词,但表示“玻璃杯”时则是可数名词,请看例句: 6. a. He broke a glass. 他打碎了一个玻璃杯。 b. He broke a piece of glass. 他打碎了一块玻璃。

英语名词的单复数
名词的单复数 一、可数名词 可数名词的复数变化可以分为：规则变化和不规则变化两种。 （一）规则变化的可数名词 这一类名词的复数总结起来只有三种变化规则，我给它们归纳了一个总口诀方便大家记忆： 4大名捕走江湖，s、es、ies、ves轮番上；单复相同7君子；8大金刚生而复。它们分别代表什么意思呢？ 4大“名捕”走江湖，s、es、ies、ves轮番上 1、单数名词变为复数，以下面4种最为常见：s、es、ies、ves （1）大部分辅音字母结尾的单词，直接加s：balls、cats、dogs、books （2）以s/x/ch/sh这四个辅音字母结尾的单词，直接加es：buses、boxes、watches、dishes （3.1）以y结尾的单词，紧邻y的前一个字母是元音字母，在这种情况下，直接加s。举例：boy→boys，zoo→zoos。 （3.2）以y结尾的单词，紧邻y的前一个字母是辅音字母，在这种情况下，先变y为i，然后再加es。举例：party→parties、lady→ladies、story→stories （4）以f或者fe结尾的单词，先变f或者fe为v，然后再加es：knife→knives、leaf→leaves 单复相同7君子 2、单数、复数全都是一样，不需要做任何改变（有点像“君子一言驷马难追”，所以说它们是“7君子”）。这样的单词有7个： deer鹿，sheep绵羊，works工厂，means手段，Swiss瑞士人，Chinese中国人，Japanese日本人。 记忆方法：中瑞（士）日联手（段）开鹿羊工厂。 8大金刚生而复 3、英语中一些表示“成双成对”的名词，它们生来就只有复数形式，永远没有单数。这样的单词我们在中学阶段常见的有4个：
