3逐步讲解 Steps
- 可数可数名词指能一个一个数的名词,例如 apple(苹果)、book(书)、egg(蛋)。单数前面要加 a 或 an,复数加 s 或 es,例如 an apple 变 two apples。例句:I have three books. 要注意少数名词有不规则复数,例如 child 变 children、man 变 men;可数名词可以用 many、a few 修饰,例如 many apples;判断方法很简单:能在前面加数字的,就是可数名词。
- 不可数不可数名词指不能一个一个数的名词,例如 water(水)、rice(米)、money(金钱)。它们没有复数形式,前面不加 a 或 an,动词一律用单数,例如:The water is cold. 要注意有些词在中文里可数,在英语里却不可数,例如 bread、furniture、paper,不能说 breads;要表达数量时,需用量词短语,例如 a piece of bread,这是中英差异的典型例子。
- 问量询问数量用 how many 或 how much:how many 配可数名词复数,例如 How many apples do you have?;how much 配不可数名词,例如 How much water do you need? 要注意 how many 之后的名词必须是复数,how much 之后的名词保持单数形式;how much 还可以用来问价钱,例如 How much is the book?;选对疑问词的关键,仍然是先分清名词可不可数。
- some/anysome 用于肯定句,any 用于疑问句与否定句。例句:We had some rice. Did we have any juice? We did not have any juice. 要注意 some 也可以用于期待对方答应的请求,例如 Would you like some tea?;any 在否定句中与 not 配合,表示一点也没有;如果答复说完全没有,可以用 none,例如 We have none;选 some 还是 any,要看句子是肯定、否定还是疑问。
- 量词帮手数不可数名词虽然不能直接数,但可以用量词短语表示份量:a glass of water(一杯水)、two pieces of bread(两片面包)、three bowls of rice(三碗饭)。例句:Please give me two cups of tea. 要注意量词部分的名词按可数规则变复数,例如 two glasses、three bowls;of 之后接不可数名词;这种结构是表达不可数名词数量的主要方法,必须熟练掌握,写作时也非常实用。
- 野餐实战例句:How many sandwiches did we have? How much rice did we bring? 提问之前要先判断名词可不可数:sandwich 是可数名词,所以用 how many 加复数;rice 是不可数名词,所以用 how much。要注意实际运用时,先在心中把食物分好类,再选择正确的疑问词;回答可以用量词短语,例如 Two bowls of rice;这类题目在考卷与日常问答中都很常见,值得多练。
