大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)口語(yǔ)改錯(cuò)(27)

字號(hào):

單數(shù)與復(fù)數(shù)
    Incorrect English:
    “one years,” “one minutes”
    Correct English:
    “one year”, “one minute
    這里我們要說(shuō)的是一年和一分鐘,不能用復(fù)數(shù)形式,除此之外,既使是零,也應(yīng)當(dāng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
    Examples:
    “One year ago I graduated from high school.”
    “In one year , the exchange student will speak fluent English.”
    “My nephew is one year old.”
    “Just hang on a minute. I’m almost ready.”
    “I’ll see you in a minute.”
    使用復(fù)數(shù)形式的范例:
    “in America , people cannot drink alcohol until they are twenty-one years old.”
    A: “How many years have you played the guitar?”
    B: “Zero years. I don’t play the guitar.”
