【2017年整理】英语与单词复数形式大总结.docVIP

表示名词复数，在中文方面显得很简单，如：一个苹果、五个苹果；一座桥、两座桥；一匹马、五十匹马……名词完全相同。英文名词的复数表示法就复杂得多了，往往让初学者感到混淆。我总觉得英文实在不能算是一种理想的语文，可是……一、最常见的名词复数(Plural)就是在单数(Singular)名词后边加上一个s??boy??boys??cat??cats??room??rooms??horse horses??tree??trees??rose??roses二、如果名词是以sh,ch,s或x结尾的话，那就要在单数的后面加上es??lash??lashes 鞭子??push??pushes??branch branches??match??matches??coach??coaches 教练??gas???gases??ass???asses??驴子??class??classes??box???boxes??fox???foxes三、如果名词结尾是一个子音(consonant,就是除了a,e,i,o,u之外的字母)加一个y，??那就要将y换成i，再加上es??baby??babies??family families??pony??ponies??city??cities??country countries四、可是，如果名词结尾是一个母音(vowel，就是a,e,i,o,u)加一个y，那只要在单??数词后加一个s就成了??play???plays??way????ways??valley??valleys 山谷??donkey??donkeys??toy????toys??boy????boys??guy????guys五、当单数名词的结尾是f或fe时，复数的写法就是将f改为v，再加es??thief??thieves??shelf??shelves??leaf???leaves??calf???calves??half???halves??wolf???wolves??wife???wives??life???lives可是，f结尾的单数字，有许多只需加个s就成复数（你看，这又是英文的bugs）??roof??roofs??hoof??hoofs??chief??chiefs??cliff??cliffs??gulf??gulfs六、结尾是o的单数词，一部份只加s就成复数词，但有的却需加es，真令人捉摸不定呀??piano??pianos??photo??photos??bamboo??bamboos??zoo???zoos??kangaroo kangaroos 袋鼠??mulatto mulattos 白黑混血儿??hero???heroes??mango??mangoes??potato??potatoes??volcano volcanoes??negro??negroes??黑人??cargo??cargoes??echo???echoes??buffalo buffaloes??tomato??tomatoes??mosquito mosquitoes七、由于古老传统的原因，一些单数词得加en才能变成复数词（鬼知道是什么原因）：??ox????oxen??child???children (你看，这个就不守规矩了，不是加en ,是ren呀)??brother??brethren (哎呀，这个这个……是bre，不是bro）八、一些单数词得改头换面一番,才能变成复数词的哦：??analysis??analyses 分析??basis???bases??基础??datum???data???数据??foot????feet??formula??formulae/formulas 公式??goose???geese??louse???lice??虱子??man????men??mouse???mice??medium???media/mediums??媒介??memorandum memoranda/memorandums 备忘录??parenthesis parentheses 圆括号??phenomenon phenomena??现象??radius???radii 半径??tooth????teeth??woman????women九、有些名词是单数、复数不分的，很可爱是吗？??deer??fish??cannon??sheep??salmon 鲑鱼??trout 鳟鱼??（许多鱼类都是这么可爱的呀
