数词讲解专项练习1 数词的讲解一、定义:表示数目或顺序二、分类:分为基数词和序数词两种。
表示数目或数量多少的词叫基数词;表示数目顺序的词叫序数词。
三、基数词的构成:1)1-12的基数词是独立的单词,即:one ,two ,three ,four ,five ,six ,seven ,eight ,nine ,ten ,eleven ,twelve 。
2)13-19的基数词以-teen 结尾。
如:fourteen ,seventeen 等,但13,15,18较特殊,13—thirteen, 15—fifteen, 18—eighteen 。
3)20-90的整十位均以-ty 结尾。
如:sixty ,ninety ,但20,30,40,50,80较特殊,20—twenty, 30—thirty, 40—forty, 50—fifty, 80—eighty 。
4)十位数与个位数之间要加连字符号"-" ,如:28-twenty-eight ,96-ninety-six 。
5)百位和十位(若无十位则和个位)之间加and ,如:148—one hundred and forty-eight406—four hundred and six6)hundred (百),thousand (千),million (百万),billion (十亿)等前面即使有具体的数词,several, some, many也不能在它们的后面加-s 。
如:six hundred,eight million。
如果表示不确定数目时,用hundreds of /thousands of /millions of /billions of +名词复数, 前面不能再加数字。
7)1000以上的数字,从后往前数每三位加一个逗号" ," 第一个逗号前为千(thousand ),第二个逗号前为百万(million ),第三个逗号前为billion (十亿)。
英语中无“万”这个词,我们可以用" 几十个千(thousand )" 表示几万," 几百个千(thousand )" 表示" 几十万" 。
如:2,510=two thousand five hundred and ten84,296=eighty-four thousand two hundred and ninety-six274,350=two hundred and seventy-four thousand three hundred and fifty。
四、序数词的构成:1)序数词一般是以与之相应的基数词尾加-th 构成,如:fourth, tenth, 但以下的这些基数词变为序数词时,有特别之处。
One —first, two —second, three —third, five—fifth, nine —ninth, twelve —twelfth2)以_ty 结尾的单词,要先变y 为i, 在加-eth. 。
如:thirty —thirtieth, fifty—fiftieth 3)以one, two, three 等结尾的多位数词,要将个位数变成序数词。
如:twenty-one —twenty-first, one hundred and one—one hundred and first注意:序数词前常用定冠词,有时还可以用不定冠词a/an 则表示" 又一" 的意思。
(没有具体范围的限制)如:Mr. Brown has a second car. 布朗先生另外还有一辆车。
He has tried a second time. 他又尝试了一次。
五、数词的应用1)时刻的表示:小时、点钟、分钟、秒钟要用基数词。
①“几点钟”用基数词加o'clock 。
o'clock 可省略。
如:5点钟-five (o'clock ) ②“几点过几分” , ≤30分钟" 用介词past 。
如:7:15— fifteen/ a quarter past seven 7:30— half past seven③“差几分几点”用介词"to" 。
如:7:40— twenty to eight 7:45— fifteen / a quarter to eight 。
④日常生活中的时间读法常常简化,直接按基数词的顺序读。
如:7:05— seven o five 7:15— seven fifteen。
2)年月日的表示:①年份用基数词,如:1999年— nineteen ninety-nine 1900年— nineteen hundred2000年— two thousand 1905年— nineteen o five;②年用基数词, 日用序数词。
如:1998年6月8日写作:June 8, 1998;读作:June theeighth, nineteen ninety-eight或the eighth of June, nineteen ninety-eight。
3)世纪、年代表示法,如:(在) 90年代(in) the nineties(在) 19世纪(in) the nineteenth century(在) 18世纪30年代(in) the 1730s或in the 1730's4)编号的表示:①基数词放到名词的后边, 该名词一般要大写;序数词放到名词的前面,加定冠词。
Lesson 1/ the first lesson第一课Row 3/ the third row 第三排②Bus No. 3=the No. 3bus 3路公共汽车。
③表示住所时不用No .如:Room 302读作:room three o two 302房间。
④如果编号的数词比较长,一般用基数词。
如:Page 457 第457页。
⑤电话号码,用基数词,如:3855633-three eight double five six double three。
5)分数的表达:分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于"1" ,分母则加"s" 。
如:1/3 one third 2/3two thirds1/2 a / one half 1/4one fourth或a/ one quarter3/4 three fourths或three quarters6) 表示有小数的词用基数词,如:5.5 five point five12.135 twelve point one three five7)表示百分数,如:5℅ :five percent 0.8℅ zero point eight percent注意:分数、百分数与主谓一致当分数、百分数修饰可数名词的复数时, 谓语动词用复数形式;当分数、百分数修饰不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式。
如:Eighty percent of the students in our school come from Henan.我们学校百分之八十的学生来自河南。
Three fourths of the students in my class are interested in English.我们班四分之三的学生对英语感兴趣。
Two thirds of the water on the earth is sea water.地球上三分之二的水是海水。
8)其他用法,如:①基数词+单数名词+形容词构成合成形容词。
如:a five-year-old boy 一个五岁的男孩an 800-metre-long bridge 一座800米长的桥girls’ 400-metre relay race 女子400米接力②具体数词+metre (s )/kilometre (s )/kilo (s ) long /high /tall /deep / away 等。
如:The Changjiang River is 6, 300 kilometres long.长江长6300公里。
③表示“几十岁”用基数词的复数形式,如:in his thirties 在他三十几岁时④倍数的表达:一倍用once ,两倍用twice ,两倍以上用基数词+times 。
如: five times 5倍补充:倍数的表示法:1. 表示“几倍大小(长短;数量) ” ,由“倍数+ the size(length, amount width age height.) +of ”结构组成。
如:The earth is forth-nine times the size of the moon. 地球的大小是月亮的四十九倍。
2. 表示“……比……大几倍” ,由“倍数+形容词(副词)比较级+ than +被比较部分”结构组成。
如:This box is three times bigger than that one.这个箱子比那个箱子大三倍。
(这个箱子是那个箱子的四倍。
