可数名词与不可数名词
在可数名词与不可数名词上一般出现这样几类，
(1)分辨是哪一类名词，并根据结论做选择。
(2)可数名词复数的不规则变化。
(3)不可数名词的量化表达。
所以，考生首先要能够明确哪些是可数名词，哪些是不可数名词。其次，还要知道可数名词的复数的变化规则。可数名词的变化规则一般是在单词后面加-s 或-es，如：1desk——desks bed——beds piano——pianos hat——hats bag——bags photo——photos
2 bus——buses box——boxes watch——watches brush——brushes
3tomato——tomatoes potato——potatoeshero——heroes Negro——Negroes
4 leaf——leaves knife——knives5baby——babies family——families
另外，还要记住一些特殊的名词的变化形式，如：
Chinese——Chinese Japanese——Japanese Englishman——Englishmen
Frenchman——Frenchmen Russian——Russians American——Americans
German —— Germans child——children foot——feet man——men
woman——women tooth——teeth goose —— geesedeer——deer
sheep——sheep
还要掌握不可数名词的量化表达有： a piece of、a bag of、a bottle of、a cup of、a glass of
另外，大家应注意：单数集合名词作主语时谓语动词“数的”变化：单数集合名词如class， police， family， school， group， team等。尽管形式上是单数，意义上都是复数，因此，一般要与复数谓语动词连用，例如：Class Five have a foreign friend. 五班有一位外国朋友。(这里的五班指五班的同学的。)His family are good to me. 他的家人对我很好。(很显然，这里的family指家庭成员。)当上述集合名词着重指“整体”时， 意义上则是单数，因此，要与单数谓语动词连用。例如，Our school team often plays well in our city. 我们的校队经常在我们市踢得很好。(这里的team 指整个队，但意义上仍为单数，故谓语动词用plays.
名词所有格
名词所有格有两种形式：一是加’s，一种是用of来表示。一般情况下，指某人的某物用’s表示，而指某物的什么用of 短语来表示。另外，要注意凡是以s结尾的名词或规则名词的复数，不能直接加’s，而应该加-’即可。例如，boys’ clothes girls’ dresses. 不过，注意例外情况，例如， the boss’s handwriting，其中the boss’s 的-’s不可省略。因为在英语中，如果以-s 或-ss 结尾的名词不是复数复数形式，那么其名词所有格仍加-’s.那么你会说“琼斯的小汽车”吗?对，Jones’s car.下面我们来做一部分习题。
