情況
構(gòu)成方法
讀音
例詞
一般情況
加s
清輔音后讀/s/
濁輔音后和元音后讀/z/
map-maps
car-cars
以s,sh,ch,x 等結(jié)尾
加es
讀/iz/
box-boxes

加s
讀/iz/
license-licenses
以輔音字母+y 結(jié)尾
變y 為i 再加es

baby-babies
二．其他復(fù)數(shù)的規(guī)則變化
1） 以y結(jié)尾的專有名詞或元音字母+y 結(jié)尾的名詞變復(fù)數(shù)時,直接加s變復(fù)數(shù)。例如： the Henrys‘ monkey---monkeys
2） 以o 結(jié)尾的名詞,變復(fù)數(shù)時：
a. 加s,如： photo---photos piano---pianos
b. 加es,如：potato--potatoes tomato--tomatoes
c. 上述a和b兩種方法均可,如zero---zeros / zeroes.
3） 以f或fe 結(jié)尾的名詞變復(fù)數(shù)時：
a. 加s,如： belief---beliefs roof---roofs
b. 去掉f,fe 加ves,如：half---halves knife---knives
c. 上述a和b兩種方法均可,如handkerchief: handkerchiefs / handkerchieves.
三．名詞復(fù)數(shù)的不規(guī)則變化
1）child---children foot---feet tooth---teeth注意:：由一個詞加 man 或 woman構(gòu)成的合成詞,其復(fù)數(shù)形式也是 -men 和-women,如an Englishman,two Englishmen.但German不是合成詞,故復(fù)數(shù)形式為Germans;Bowman是姓,其復(fù)數(shù)是the Bowmans.
2）單復(fù)同形,如deer,sheep,fish,Chinese,Japanese ,li,jin,yuan,two li,three mu,four jin等。但除人民幣的元、角、分外,美元、英鎊、法郎等都有復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：a dollar, two dollars; a meter, two meters。
3）集體名詞,以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn),但實為復(fù)數(shù)。例如：people police cattle 等本身就是復(fù)數(shù),不能說 a people,a police,a cattle,但可以說a person,a policeman,a head of cattle, the English,the British,the French,the Chinese,the Japanese,the Swiss 等名詞,表示國民總稱時,作復(fù)數(shù)用。
4） 以s結(jié)尾,仍為單數(shù)的名詞,如：a. maths,politics,physics等學(xué)科名詞,一般是不可數(shù)名詞,為單數(shù)。b. news 為不可數(shù)名詞。c. the United States,the United Nations 應(yīng)視為單數(shù)。d. 以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)的書名,劇名,報紙,雜志名,也可視為單數(shù)。
5） 表示由兩部分構(gòu)成的東西,如：glasses trousers,clothes等,若表達(dá)具體數(shù)目,要借助數(shù)量詞 pair;suit; a pair of glasses; two pairs of trousers等。
6） 另外還有一些名詞,其復(fù)數(shù)形式有時可表示特別意思,如：goods貨物,waters水域,fishes（各種）魚.
四．不可數(shù)名詞對量的表示
1）物質(zhì)名詞
a. 當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞轉(zhuǎn)化為個體名詞時為可數(shù)。
比較：Cake is a kind of food. 蛋糕是一種食物。 （不可數(shù)）
These cakes are sweet. 這些蛋糕很好吃。 （可數(shù)）
b. 當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞表示該物質(zhì)的種類時,可數(shù)。例如：
This factory produces steel.?。ú豢蓴?shù)）
We need various steels.?。蓴?shù)）
c. 當(dāng)物質(zhì)名詞表示份數(shù)時,可數(shù)。例如：
Our country is famous for tea. 我國因茶葉而聞名。
Two teas, please. 請來兩杯茶。
2） 抽象名詞表示具體的事例時也可數(shù)。例如：
four freedoms 四大自由 the four modernizations四個現(xiàn)代化
物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞可以借助單位詞表一定的數(shù)量,如a glass of water 一杯水/ a piece of advice 一則建議。
