二、名词一、名词：具体或抽象的事物。
1)dog, boy, car, book, window, day2)class, team, family, police3)water, tea, milk, coffee, meat, gold4)friendship, health, beauty, time其中集体名词被当作一个整体时，要看作是单数，用单数的谓语动词。
但当这些名词里的具体事物的各成员是被逐一单独考虑时，就用复数的谓语动词。
The football team is playing well.这个足球队踢得好。
The football team are having baths and are coming back for tea.足球队员们正在洗澡，然后他们就回来喝茶。
The family is a happy one.这是一个幸福的家庭。
My family are very pleased about the good news.这个好消息使我全家人都很高兴。
Xiao Ming is a Chinese. 小名是个中国人。
The Chinese are brave and smart. 中国人很勇敢智慧。
二、难点：名词的复数The thief’s wife killed a wolf with a knife and a leaf.不规则变化：man→men男人woman→women女人foot→feet脚tooth→teeth牙goose→geese鹅mouse→mice鼠ox→oxen公牛child→children儿童单复数同形：deer，sheep，fish，Chinese，Japanese, yuan（注意西方货币有复数dollars, pounds）只用复数的词：trousers裤子goods货物clothes衣物glasses眼镜scissors剪刀people 人有的名词既可以做可数名词，又可以做不可数名词。
glass 玻璃玻璃杯paper 纸文件、试卷、报重要提示：1、单数可数名词永远不可以单独存在。
例句：牛在天上飞。
Ox is flying in the sky. ×An ox is flying in the sky.√Oxen are flying in the sky.√2、形如“num-n-adj”结构内的名词永远单数。
此形式相当于一个形容词。
如：三米长three-meter-long 如果连字符，中间的名词不变复数式。
例：Amy is a seven-year-old girl. Amy是个7岁的小女孩。
三、不可数名词不可数名词不能被a, an, many等直接修饰。
但它们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一条建议a piece of paper 一张纸四、可数名词和不可数名词各有其不同的修饰语①只修饰可数名词单数的如a/an，one，another，either，neither，every，many a等。
I don’t like this book, give me another one.我不喜欢这本书, 请另外给我一本。
Neither shoe feels comfortable.两只鞋都感觉不舒服。
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.[谚] 一天一个苹果, 医生不上门(比喻不生病)。
②只修饰可数名词复数的如these，those，few，many，a great number of，both，several及二以上的数词等。
There are a few apples on the table. 桌子上有几个苹果。
There are few apples on the table. 桌子上几乎没苹果。
Were there many peopl e at the meeting? 有很多人到会吗?③只修饰不可数名词的如 a little(表示“少”，并非“小”)，a bit of，much，a great/good deal of，a great/large/small amount of等。
There is a little milk in the bottle. 瓶子里有点牛奶。
There is little milk in the bottle. 瓶子里没大有牛奶了。
There was so much food that we couldn’t eat it all. 食物太多了，我们吃不完。
④既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词的有the，some，any，no，all，a large/small quantity of，other，half，one-third等。
some在解释为“某一”，any在解释为”任何”时也可修饰可数名词单数。
this和that只能修饰可数名词单数和不可数名词，last，next，the other和序数词只能修饰可数名词单数和复数。
I have some books.我有一些书。
There is some water on the desk. 桌子上有些水。
五、名词的所有格在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。
2）若名词已有复数词尾s，只加’，如：Teachers’ Day 教师节。
复数名词如果词尾没有s，要加’s，如men’s room 男厕所，Children’s Day 儿童节。
3）所有格’s的形式一般都可以变成“名词+of +名词”的形式，如this song’s name 可以变成name of this song。
4）人名+s表示某一家人。
the Greens 格林一家人名+s+’表示某一家人的住所。
the Greens’格林的家The Greens went to China this summer. 格林一家暑假去了中国。
I went to the Greens’ yesterday. 我昨天去了格林的家。
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”。
如：John’s and Mary’s rooms（两间）John and Mary’s room（一间）6）双重所有格。
’s所有格有时可以和of所有格结合在一起表示所有关系，这叫做”双重所有格”。
He is a friend of my brother’s.他是我弟弟的一位朋友。
I’m staying with a friend of mine.我打算和我的一位朋友住在一起。
I borrowed a necklace of yours.我借了你的一条项链。
