英语复数名词的变化规则
1.不规则复数形式
1)来自古英语的复数形式,如:
child---children
man---men
ox---oxen
foot---feet
tooth--- mouse--- analysis--- basis---teeth goose---geese
woman---women
mice louse---lice
penny---pence
analyses appendix---appendices
parenthesis---parentheses

criterion---criteria phenomenon---phenomena datum---data medium---media
bacterium---bacteria
fungi stimulus---stimuli
alumnus---alumni focus---foci radius---radii terminus---termini
larva---larvae alga---algae formula---formulae
#当代美国英语中往往把data当做单数用,因此常见到复数形式datas。另外,lens是一个单数可数名词,其复数形式为lenses。
1)词尾读音为[f]并以-f或0-fe结尾的名词复数形式有以下几种情况:
a)规则形式:
belief---beliefs chief----chiefs cliff----cliffs grief----griefs
nucleus---nuclei fungus---
b)不规则形式,即把-f或-fe变成-v,再加-es,读音为[vz]:
calf---calves half---halves leaf----leaves life----lives
loaf---loaves self---shelves thief---thieves wife---wives
wolf---wolves
c)既可是规则形式又可是不规则形式:
dwarf---dwarfs/dwarves hoof---hoofs/hoves
scarf---scarfs/scarves wharf---wharfs/wharves
3)词干以-o结尾的名次有三种情况:
a)附属形式为-s:这类词包括缩略词kilos,photos;表示国籍或民族的词Filipinos,Eskimos以及radios,solos,sopranos,
studios
b)复数形式为-es,如:heroes,potatoes,tomatoes,Negroes。
c)复数有规则的和不规则的两种形式,如:
cargo---cargos/cargoes
2.单复数同形的名词

3)某些以-s结尾的名词,如:barracks,corps,crossroads,gallows,headquarters,means,series,species,works等
4)某些表示计量单位的名词,如:horsepower,hertz,kilohertz,li,mu等
其他一些名词,如:aircraft,spacercarft,craft,offspring等。其中请特别注意-s结尾的单复数同形的名词,它们是考试的重点!!
3.不可数名词
不可数名词前一般不需要加定冠词,永远不能加不定冠词!
例如下列用法均属错误:
the mathematics the banking a cloth an equipment
不可数名词作主语,谓语要用单数形式。
如:Water is important.
但如果不可数名词前面被piece,drop,set等词修饰时,谓语应该与piece,drop,set等的单复数形式保持一致
例如:Few drops of water are needed to save the flower.
下面是典型的不可数名词,是应该熟记的!!
air,smoke,steam,vapor,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,water,oil,soup,juice,ink,rain,snow,ice,tea,coffee,wine,sunlight,sunshine,

obsterics
请特别注意其中以-s结尾的不可数名词,大家平时应该积累遇到的不可数名词
!!注意下列可数名词!!
poet poem essay newspaper machine weapon scene photograph photographer
英语中有许多名词既可作可数,又可作不可数。如:hair作“人或动物的毛”的时候是可数名词,作头发解释时是不可数名词。判断一个词是否可数,除了记忆以外, 主要看题中该名词的修饰词来决定。如:much只能修饰不可数名词
4.单数形式和复数形式的词义不同的名词
英语中有些名词的复数形式的词义不同于单数形式,如:
air(空气)---air(气派) arm(手臂)---arms(武器) ash(灰)---ashes(骨灰;废墟)
authority(权利)---authorities(当局) cloth(织物)---clothes(衣服) content(含量)---contents(目录)
custom(习惯)---customs(海关;关税) damage(损害)---damages(赔偿金) force(力量)---forces(武装部队)
