名词的复数形式

1、可数名词的复数变化可数名词一般有单数和复数两种形式，名词由单数变成复数的变化分为规则变化和不规则变化两个大类。1.名词复数的规则变化：绝大多数名词直接在词尾加s变成复数，如：cupcups, bathroom-bathrooms以s, x, ch, sh结尾的名词变复数要加es，如：class（班级）classes, box（盒子）boxes, match（火柴）matches, brush（刷子）brushes以f或fe结尾的名词变复数时，去f或fe再加ves。f、fe结尾的顺口溜：妻子持刀去宰狼，小偷吓得发了慌；躲在架后保己命，半片树叶遮月光。按：顺口溜中的黑体字是中学阶段学过的九个以f(

2、e)结尾的名词：wife(妻子)，knife(小刀)，wolf(狼)，thief(小偷)，shelf(架子)，self(自己)，life(生命)，half(一半)，leaf(树叶)。这九个词变复数时，都是改-f(e)为ve再加-s。注意:以f结尾的名词，一般把把f改为ves，但也有特殊情况是直接加-s的，如gulf（海湾）, roof（屋顶）, chief（首领）, serf（农仆）, belief（信仰）, proof（证据）, handkerchief（手帕）。编成口诀联想：海湾边、屋顶上，首领农仆相望；谁说他们无信仰，证据定在手帕上。 以y结尾的名词变复数时视以下两种情况而变：元音+y：

3、直接+s ,如：boyboys, toytoys, day-days辅音+y：变y为i，再+es ，如：study(书房)studies, city(城市)cities, party（晚会）-parties以o结尾的名词变复数时视以下三种情况而变：O结尾的名词顺口溜1）有生命的以o结尾的名词变复数时，词尾加es，凡无生命的以o结尾的名词变复数时，词尾加s。有生命：potato（土豆）-potatoes, tomato（西红杮）-tomatoes, hero（英雄）-heroes, Negro（黑人）-Negroes如无生命：zoo-zoos, radio-radios, photo-photo

4、s, piano-pianos, zero-zeros, bamboo（竹竿）-bamboos, tobacco（烟丝）-tobaccos2）两人两菜一水果。（+es）小学-中学课本中以o结尾的名词构成复数时，加es的只有Negro（黑人），hero（英雄），potato（土豆），tomato（西红杮），mango（芒果）这就是“两人两菜一水果”。 3）其余以o结尾的名词变复数时均加s。图景：你在“zoo”里，看见一要“bamboo”，上面挂着一张“photo”，所照的是一架“piano”，上面放着一台“radio”。zoo-zoos , bamboo-bamboos, photo-photo

5、s piano-pianos, radio-radios. 2.名词复数的不规则变化：把oo变成ee，如：foot（脚）feet, tooth（牙齿）teeth, goose(鹅)-geese把词尾man变成men，如：woman(妇女)women, policeman（警察）-policemen, fisherman（渔民）fishermen, Frenchman（法国男人）Frenchmen, Englishman（英国男人）Englishmen, 注意:German（德国人）Germans,humanhumans, walkmanwalkmans表示民族的名词顺口溜（1）“中、日、瑞”友

6、好是一致。（2）“英、法”联盟a变e。（3）其他一律加s 即Chinese，Japanese单复数同形；Englishman，Frenchman的复数为Englishmen，Frenchmen；其他像German，American，Australian等的复数形式是在后面加“s”。在词尾加en或ren变成复数，如：oxoxen, childchildren,单复数同形，如：sheepsheep, deerdeer, ChineseChinese, JapaneseJapanese means-means(方法，手段)注意: fish的复数有两种：同种鱼，只表示鱼的数量多，不加es：There

7、are nearly 500 fish in the pond. 强调有不同种类的鱼时要加es：There are all kinds of fishes in the pond.其它一些常见名词的不规则变化：mouse（老鼠）mice ；basisbases（基础）；oasisoases(绿洲)，datumdata（数据）；medium-media(媒体)、写出下列名词的复数形式1、orange 2、class 3、text 4、monkey 5、piano 6、child 7、shelf 8、bed 9、country 10、family 11、toy 12、foot 13、Japanes
