初中英語可數(shù)名詞與不可數(shù)名詞用法精析

　　一、可數(shù)名詞有單數(shù)、復(fù)數(shù)之分，如

　　map → maps onion → onions baker → bakers

　　不可數(shù)名詞沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，只有單數(shù)形式。如

　　some water a lot of bread

　　二、單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞表示泛指時(shí)，前面要用不定冠詞 a (an) ;而不可數(shù)名詞不能用 a (an) .如

　　Li Hong is a driver. I am a teacher. 李紅是一名司機(jī)，我是一名教師。

　　We can‘t see milk on the table. 我們看不見桌上有牛奶。

　　[ 友情提醒 ] 在表示特指時(shí)，不可數(shù)名詞和可數(shù)名詞前都要用定冠詞 the .如

　　Pass me the ball， please. 請(qǐng)把球傳給我。

　　The chicken on the plate is yours. 盤子里的雞肉是你的。

　　三、可數(shù)名詞表示復(fù)數(shù)意義時(shí)可用 many 等詞修飾。如

　　many apples a lot of tomatoes a few pens

　　不可數(shù)名詞則要用 much 、 a little 等詞修飾。如

　　much meat a little breadlittle water

　　[ 友情提醒 ] 這兩類名詞都可以被 some 、 any 、 a lot of (lost of) 等修飾。如： some eggs/ paper (紙)。

　　A lot of (lots of) knives / orange juice

　　四、可數(shù)名詞前通�？捎镁唧w的數(shù)詞來修飾。如

　　three women

　　ten babies

　　不可數(shù)名詞表示數(shù)量的多少時(shí)，必須與表示數(shù)量的名詞連用，即“數(shù)詞 + 表示數(shù)量的名詞(可數(shù)名詞) + of + 不可數(shù)名詞”。如

　　two glasses of milk 兩杯牛奶

　　five pieces of bread 五片面包

　　五、可數(shù)名詞作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)與主語的單、復(fù)數(shù)須保持一致。不可數(shù)名詞作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞只能用單數(shù)形式。如

　　There is some rice in the bowl. 碗里有些米飯。

　　All the students are in the classroom. 所有的學(xué)生都在教室里。

　　[ 友情提醒 ] 如果不可數(shù)名詞前有復(fù)數(shù)名詞短語修飾時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞須用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如

　　There are two bags of rice in the room. 房間里有兩袋子大米。

　　六、對(duì)可數(shù)名詞的數(shù)量提問用 how many ;對(duì)不可數(shù)名詞的數(shù)量提問要用 how much ，但對(duì)不可數(shù)名詞前表示數(shù)量名詞中的修飾語提問時(shí)要用 how many .

　　如

　　I can see two pictures on the wall. → How many pictures can you see on the wall?

　　There is a lot of pork in the basket. → How much pork is there in the basket?

　　I want three glasses of water. → How many glasses of water do you want?

　　七、另外，有些集合名詞也是可數(shù)中詞，但不同的是，它們以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，表示復(fù)數(shù)概念，如 people， police， family 等;而有些可數(shù)名詞本身就以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，如 clothes， glasses (眼鏡)等;有的可數(shù)名詞單、復(fù)數(shù)形式相同，如 Japanese， sheep， Chinese 等。如

　　The Chinese people are hardworking and brave. 中國(guó)人民勤勞勇敢。

　　The sports clothes are new. 這些運(yùn)動(dòng)服是新的。

　　I have one sheep. He has two sheep. 我有一只羊，他有三只羊。
