一、可数名词复数形式的构成方法
1.一般情况下,在名词词尾直接加-s
cake→cakes(蛋糕)
student→students(学生)
2.以[s]、[z]、[∫]、[3]、[t∫]、[d3]等音素结尾的名词变复数时加-es;如果词尾为e,则只!加-S
bus→buses(公交车)
box→boxes(盒子)
watch→watches(手表)
3.以“辅音字母+ y"结尾的名词,大多数变y为i再加-es;以“元音字母+ y"结尾的名词直接加-S
baby→babies(婴儿)
city→cities(城市)
country→countries(国家)
toy→toys(玩具)
monkey→monkeys(猴子)
4.以f(e)结尾的名词,大多数将f(e)改为v,再加-es
wife→wives(妻子)
knife→knives(刀子)
leaf→leaves(树叶)
half→halves(一半)
self→selves(自己)
shelf→shelves(架子)
wolf→wolves(狼)
thief→thieves(小偷、强盗)
life→lives(生命)
巧记为:妻子自己用半片树叶和一把刀子结束了藏在架子后面的狼和强盗的生命。
5.以“辅音字母+ o”结尾的名词,多数情况下加-es,photo、piano除外;以“元音字母+ o”结尾的名词一般加-s。
①Negro→Negroes
heroe→ heroes
tomato→tomatoes

②zoo→zoos radio→radios
6.改变内部元音或词尾构成复数形式的名词
man→men
woman→women
foot →feet
tooth →teeth
child→children
7.表示“某国人”的词变复数时,Chinese、Japanese等单复数形式相同; Englishman、Frenchman是把字母a变成字母e;American、Australian、Canadian、German等是在词尾直接加-s。
巧记为:
中日不变英法变,其余“S”在后边
8.合成名词的复数形式
中间没有连字符或间隔的合成名词,将最后一个词变复数,如birthdays;中间有连字符或间隔的合成名词,将主体词变复数,如
daughters-in-law ;“man/woman+名词”式的合成名词,两个名词须同时变为复数形式,如:
two men teachers两名男老师
five women nurses五名女护士
Three men drivers三名男司机
Five women lawyers五名女律师
9.“数词+名词( +形容词)”构成的合成词作定语。
其中的名词用单数形式时,词与词之间须有连字符连接;其中的名词用复数形式时,词与词之间不用连字符,但名词复数形式需变所有格。例如:
①a two week holiday
=two weeks' holiday

② an hour's ride
骑车一小时的路程
③three hour's walk
三小时的步行
10. 单复数形式相同的名词

巧记为:

11.集体名词的单复数概念及变化形式
people意为“人们”时本身即为复数概念;意为“民族”时为单数,其复数形式为peoples。family、 team、army等侧重整体概念时常以单数形式出现,若表示多个这样的整体有复数形式,其变化规则与其他可数名词变复数时的变化规则一样;若侧重成员则表示复数意义。
①There are many people in the square.广场上有许多人。

14.可数名词与不可数名词的修饰语。
(1) few、many、several、a number of、 a great/ good many、a couple of和many a等只能修饰可数名词;
(2) a little, much,a good/great deal of、a bit of和a large ,amount of等只能修饰不可数名词;
(3)some、a lot of、lots of、plenty of、all等既能修饰可数名词复数,也能修饰不可数名词。

汤姆和玛丽(共有的)房间(一间房)
Tom' s and Mary's room
