误解英语名词复数

一般情况下可数名词有单数和复数之分要区别就要首先观察名词的复数是由名词的单数变来的,一般规则如下如：1.直接加s的,最常见apple单数——apples复数2.结尾是ch,sh,x,s,o(有生命的)的,加es如：watch单数——watches（复数）dish——dishes（复数）box——boxes（复数）还有一些其它情况不列举了所以当你看到,一些名词后边是以s结尾的就是复数了此外,还有一些名词单复数相同例如：People,sheep等还有一些呢,是不规则变化,child—children（复数）mice老鼠mouse的复数

一般加S，结尾是sh'ch's'x‘o结尾的词加es.例：ES的：bus=buses box=boxes dish=dishes watch=watchesS的：boy=boys horse=horses page=pagesO的：hero=es potato=potatoes
