名词的用法机场工作人员问:Who are you flying with?(你坐哪家航空公司?)我答:Myself。
对方大囧,一笑之后补充:Which airline?An airport staffer asked me "Who are you flying with?" and I said "Myself." He was surprised and then laughed, adding "Which airline?"原来Who在英语里也可以泛指航空公司等群体或组织。
"Who" in English can also refer to a group or an organization such as airlines.C-名词单复数普通名词指一类人或事物的名称。
英语中普通名词分为可数名词和不可数名词。
可数名词一般有单、复数两种形式。
不可数名词之前不可直接用泛指限定词和数词。
(一)可数名词及其复数形式(1)可数名词的复数形式一般由词尾加-s或-es构成,其规则见下表:类别构成法读音例词一般情况加-s 在清辅音后读/s/ maps, books这类集合名词包括baggage / luggage(行李), clothing(衣服), furniture(家具), machinery(机器), poetry(诗),scenery(风景), jewelry(珠宝), equipment(设备)等, 其用法特点为:是不可数名词,只用单数形式,不用不定冠词(当然更不能用数词),没有复数形式。

Have you checked all your baggage? 你所有的行李都托运了吗?第五类补充几个常考的集合名词除上面提到的四类集合名词外,以下几个集合名词也应重点注意(因为它们也是常考考点):1. hair(头发,毛发):指全部头发或毛发时,为集合名词(不可数);指几根头发或毛发时,为个体名词(可数)。
