名词英语语法

英语中关于名词的基础语法

名词是小学生学习英语时最常接触到的。以下是我整理的英语中关于名词的基础语法，希望大家认真阅读!

(一)名词单复数

1.一般情况，直接加-s，如：

book-books

bag-bags

cat-cats

bed-beds

2.以s、x、 sh、 ch结尾，加-es，如：

bus-buses

box-boxes

brush-brushes

watch-watches

3.以“辅音字母+y”结尾，变y为i, 再加-es，如：

family-families

strawberry-strawberries

4.以“f或fe”结尾，变f或fe为v, 再加-es，如：

knife-knives

5.不规则名词复数：

man-men

woman-women

policeman-policemen

policewoman-policewomen

mouse-mice

child-children

foot-feet

tooth-teeth

fish-fish

people-people

Chinese-Chinese

Japanese-Japanese

不可数名词的复数就是原型： paper, juice, water, milk, rice, tea

(二)名词的格

1. 有生命的东西的名词所有格：

(1) 单数后加 ’s 如: Lucy’s ruler my father’s shirt

(2)以s 结尾的复数名词后加 ’如: his friends’ bags

(3)不以s 结尾的复数后加 ’s children’s shoes

注：并列名词中，如果把 ’s加在最后一个名词后，表示共有, 如:

Tom and Mike’s car 汤姆和迈克共有的.小汽车

要表示所有物不是共有的，应分别在并列名词后加’s，如：

Tom’s and Mike’s cars 汤姆和麦克各自的小汽车

2.表示无生命东西的名词通常用“ of +名词”来表示所有关系，如：

a picture of the classroom

a map of China
