可數名詞與不可數名詞“分家”
一、可數名詞與不可數名詞的區別
普通名詞所表示的人或事物是可以按個數計算的,這類名詞叫可數名詞。可數名詞分為個體名詞(表示某類人或事物中的個體,如worker, farmer, desk, factory等)和集體名詞(表示作為一個整體來看的一群人或一些事物,如people, family 等)。假如普通名詞所表示的事物是不能按個數來計算的,這類名詞就叫不可數名詞。不可數名詞分為物質名詞(表示無法分為個體的物質,如meat, rice, water, milk, orange 等)和抽象名詞(表示動作、狀態、情況、品質等抽象概念,如work, homework, time, health, friendship等)。
二、 可數名詞的家務事
可數名詞有單數和復數兩種形式。指一個人或一件事物時,用單數形式;指兩個或多個人或事物時用復數形式。名詞由單數形式變成復數形式的規則如下:
1. 一般的名詞詞尾直接加-s 。如:
book → books ;room → rooms; house → houses ;day → days
2. 以s, ss, ch, sh, x 結尾的名詞,在詞尾加-es 。如:
bus → buses ;glass → glasses; watch → watches; dish → dishes ;box → boxes
3. 以”輔音字母+y”結尾的名詞,要先將y改為i再加-es。如:
city → cities ;body → bodies;factory → factories
4. 以f 或fe 結尾的名詞,要將f或fe改為v再加-es。如:
half → halves; leaf → leaves;knife → knives ;wife → wives
5. 特例 [特例常常考,要記住。]
① child → children
② man → men woman → women; policeman → policemen (規律:man → men)
③ tomato → tomatoes; potato → potatoes
[ 初中英語以o結尾的名詞變復數時只有這兩個詞加-es,其余的當然加-s嘍!如:photo → photos ]
④ foot → feet; tooth → teeth [ oo變成ee。]
⑤ sheep, Chinese, Japanese單、復數同形 [變復數時詞形不變。]
⑥ people單數形式表示復數意義,要求謂語動詞用復數; people的復數形式peoples通常指"多個民族"。
三、 不可數名詞的家務事
1. 不可數名詞沒有復數,當它作句子的主語時,謂語動詞要用單數形式。如:
The food is very fresh. 食品很新鮮。
2. 有的不可數名詞也可以作可數名詞,有復數形式,但他們的意義往往發生變化。如:
water (水) → waters (水域); orange (橘汁) → oranges (橘子)
3. 很多的不可數名詞表示泛指時為不可數,表示種類時就可數,但意義大多不發生變化。如:
fruit → fruits ;food → foods; fish → fishes ;hair → hairs
用所給名詞的適當形式填空。
1. How many________(sheep) are there on the hill?
2. There is some________(food) in the basket.
3. The baby has only two________(tooth) now.
4. There is a lot of________(water) in the bottle.
5. There are five________(people ) in his family.
6. Let’s take________(photo), OK?
7. I have lots of________(tomato) here.
8. The________(leaf) on the tree turn yellow.
9. The________(child) are playing games on the playground now.
10. Their________(dictionary) look new.
11. I see you have a few white________(hair).
12. They are________(woman) doctors.
13. Can you give me some bottles of ____ (orange), please?
14. There are many________(fox) in the picture.
15. I would like some apple________(juice). I am very thirsty.

名詞可數不可數“六注意”
善問大王:Good afternoon, Mr Zhang.名詞可數不可數我掌握得不好,請您給我再講一講好嗎?
Mr Huang:別急!名詞可數不可數需要注意六點,下面我就逐一給你道來:
一、可數名詞是可以用來計數的名詞。可數名詞有單數和復數形式。如:desk-desks, apple-apples等。不可數名詞是不可以直接用來計數的名詞。不可數名詞沒有復數形式,只有單數形式。如:some bread, a little milk等。
二、單數可數名詞表示泛指時,前面要用不定冠詞a(an),表示特指時,前面要用定冠詞the; 而不可數名詞前不能用a(an)修飾,表示特指時,前面一定要用定冠詞the。如:
He is a factory worker. 他是一名工人。
No one can see air. 沒有人能看見空氣。
三、可數名詞和不可數名詞前都可以用some, any, a lot of, lots of 等來修飾,表示”一些,許多”。如:
There are some oranges on the desk. 桌子上有一些桔子。
There is a lot of water in the bottle. 瓶里有許多水。
四、可數名詞前可用具體的數詞來表示具體的數量。如:two apples, four books等。不可數名詞前通常用”單位詞+of”來表示數量。如: a piece of ***, three pieces of ***等。
五、可數名詞作主語時,謂語動詞的單復數與主語的單復數保持一致。如:
This picture is very beautiful. 這幅畫很美。
不可數名詞作主語時,謂語動詞要用單數形式,但是不可數名詞前有復數”單位詞”時,謂語動詞要用復數形式。如:
There are two cups of tea on the table. 桌上有兩杯茶。
六、對可數名詞前的修飾語提問用how many; 對不可數名詞前的修飾語提問用how much。 如:
How many apples are there in the box?盒子里有多少個蘋果?
How much tea is there in the cup?杯里有多少茶水?
注意:對不可數名詞前的”單位詞”的修飾語提問時,疑問詞用how many。 如:
How many pieces of bread are there on the plate?盤子里有多少片面包?
善問大王:名詞可數不可數有這么多的注意點啊!這下我可全知道了!Thank you very much. Mr Zhang!
Mr Zhang:You’re welcome.
