初中英语语法名词知识点讲解及专项练习1.可数名词的复数变化1) 规则变化(1) 大多数都直接在名词后加-s。
(2) 以-s , -x , -ch , -sh结尾的名词加-es。
(3) 以元音字母+y结尾的名词加-s,如boys,days;但以辅音字母+y结尾的名词,先变y为i,再加-es,如babies,flies,libraries; 以辅音字母+y结尾的专有名词直接加-s,如Marys,Henrys等。
(4) 以-o结尾的名词,大多数在词尾加-s,如bamboos,radios,photos,kilos,但也有少数加-es,如potatoes,tomatoes,heroes; 而zero两种形式均可。
(5) -f,-fe结尾的名词,大部分将-f,-fe改成v,再加-es,如knives,halves,thieves, shelves,leaves,wives,wolves;但也有少数直接加-s,如roofs,beliefs,safes;而handkerchief和scarf两种均可。
背记小口诀:妻子(wife)持刀(knife)去砍狼(wolf),小偷(thief)吓得发了慌;躲在架(shelf)下保己(self)命(life),半(half)片树叶(leaf)遮面包(loaf)。
2) 不规则变化(1) 单复数同形sheep,fish,deer,Chinese,Japanese。
(2) 变内部元音man -men,tooth -teeth,mouse -mice,foot -feet,goose-geese。
(3) 其他形式。
child-children ox -oxen grown-up -grown-ups passer-by -passers-by brother-in-law -brothers-in-lawman与woman作定语修饰的名词改为复数时,两者都要改为复数,如:two women doctors,many men leaders。
3) 特殊的复数形式(1) 只有复数,没有单数形式。
如:trousers裤子,clothes衣服,shorts短裤,goods商品,glasses眼镜,shoes鞋子等。
(2) 集合名词不能用具体的数字修饰,只能在其前加the表示全体,如:the police,the English,the people,动词也用复数形式,但family,class,team,group等集合名词,若指整体,看作单数形式,若指其中的成员,则看作复数形式,动词也应该有相应变化。
注意:可数名词的量可以用many,few,a few,a(large/great) number of,a great/ good many 等来修饰,而some,several,any,enough,most,a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a large/small quantity of等既可以修饰可数名词,也可以修饰不可数名词。
2.不可数名词(1)不可数名词一般只有单数形式,前面不能直接加冠词,但在一些固定短语中有些不可数名词也可转化为可数名词,如have a good time,a heavy rain,a strong wind等。
(2)不可数名词可以用much,little,a little,a great deal of,a large/small amount等来修饰,当这些做主语时,主要看量的单位形式决定其谓语动词的单复数。
3.常以复数形式出现的名词People(人),clothes(衣服),trousers(裤子),police(警察),glasses(眼镜),这些名词做主语时,同学们应特别注意它们的谓语要用复数。
4. 复数形式的单数名词有些名词看似复数形式,实际上是单数。
这一点是同学不易掌握的,应特别加以记忆。
如:news(消息),maths(数学),physics(物理),No news is good news.5. 名词的所有格(1) 名词所有格一般都是在结尾加’s,如Kate’s,但以-s结尾的复数,只加“ ’ ”,如Teachers’ Day; of+名词用来表示无生命东西的所有关系,如the problem of the Americans。
但表示时间、距离、国家、地点等无生命的名词,所有格也有’s的形式,如two days’ trip。
(2) 当某物为两人共有时,名词所有格为A+ B’s。
而当某物为各人所有时为A’s+B’s。
(3) 双重属格则指:of 属格+名词所有格/名词性物主代词,如a cousin of my father's,a friend of mine。
三)考题精讲【例1】In her letter, Aunt Huang told us many _____ about her visit to Egypt.A. newsB. storiesC. informationD. truth【解析】many只能修饰可数名词的复数,而A、C和D均为不可数名词,因此正确答案为B。
【例2】They bought some _____ at the supermarket yesterday. (potato)【解析】potato是可数名词,some既可修饰可数名词的复数,又可修饰不可数名词,而potato是以o结尾的特殊类型加-es,所以应填potatoes.【例3】Shanghai is one of the biggest ____ in the world. (city)【解析】以元音字母+y结尾的名词加-s,如boys, days但以辅音字母+y结尾的名词,先变y为i,再加-es,如babies,flies, libraries;而city属于后者,因此正确答案为cities。
【例4】It's over _______ from Shanghai to Nanjing.A. three hours' driveB. three hour's driveC. three hours drivesD. three hours drive【解析】三小时开车的路程,表示时间、距离、国家、地点等无生命的名词,所有格也有's的形式,因此选A.(四)考点精练Ⅰ.
