语法一、 名词 (一) 知识概要
名词两大类:专有名词与普通名词。专有名词是指:个人、事物、机关等所专有的名称,如,the Great Wall, America…它们是不能随意变动的。而普通名词中则包括个体名词,如pen, worker…它表示单一的个体人或事物;集体名词,如:family,class, team,它表示的是由若干个个体组成的集合体;物质名词,如:water,paper…它表示的是一种物质,原材料;而后一种是抽象名词,如:work, time…它表示着一种在实际生活中看不见、摸不到,但却与实际生活紧密相关的某些动作、状态、品质的抽象概念。
种类 专有名词 London, John, the Communist Party of China
普 通 名 词 类名词 nurse, boy, worker, pencil, dog, table
集体名词 class, family, army, police, team, people
物质名词 water, steel, glass, cotton, wood, sand
抽象名词 happiness, love, work, life, courage, honest
名词在使用中的难点在于名词的数,即可数名词与不可数名词的实际应用。不可数名词不能用数字计算,所以它通常只有单数形式。它包含有专有名词、物质名词、抽象名词等,如:English,air,water,cotton,work…可数名词是可以用数量加以计算的名词,所以它具有单数形式和复数形式两种。可数名词复数形式的构成规律是:
1. 一般情况加s,如:pen—pens, doctor—doctors,boy—boys,其读音规则是在清辅音后读[s],在元音和浊辅音后读[z]。如:map—map , boy—boys.
2. 在以s,sh,ch,x结尾的名词后面加es,如:bus—buses,class—classes,其读音为[iz]。
3. 以ce,se,ze,(d)ge结尾的名词加s,其读音为[iz]。
4. 以辅音字母加y结尾的名词,要将y变为i再加es,读作[z],如:factory—factories,country—countries, family—families.但要注意的是以元音字母加y结尾的名词的复数形式只加s,如:boy—boys,day—days。
5. 以o结尾的名词的复数形式一般要加es,但如果o前面是元音字母或外来词,缩写词以o结尾的则只加s,如:tomato—tomatoes,hero—heroes;photo—photos,radio—radios,piano—pianos
6. 以f或fe结尾的名词的复数形式要将f或fe变为v再加es,如:knife—knives, leaf—leaves, 但有些例外的词如roof的复数形式是roofs。
7. 不规则名词的复数形式是要单个记忆的,它没有规律可循,如:man—men,woman—women, child—children, foot—feet,tooth—teeth, mouse—mice
8. 单复同形的名词有:fish, sheep,deer… 9. 单数形式但其意为复数的名词有:people,police等。
名词还有格的变化,其主格可作主语,宾格可作宾语。
还有所有格,用来表示人或物的所有,以及领属关系。表示有生命的名词的所有格其单数形式是加's其复数形式是s',如其结尾不是s的复数形式仍加's,如:a student's room, students' rooms, Children's Day.在表示时间、距离、世界、国家……名词的所有格要用's,如:a twenty minutes' walk.但无生命名词的所有格则必须用of结构,如:the capital of our country, the colour of the flowers
(二) 正误辨析[误]Please give me a paper.[正]Please give me a piece of paper.
[析]paper在英语中是属于物质名词一类,是不可数名词。而不可数名词要表达数量时,要用与之相关的量词来表达,如:two pieces of paper.
[误]My glasses is broken.[正]My glasses are broken.
[误]I want to buy two shoes.[正]I want to buy two pairs of shoes.
[析]英语中glasses—眼镜,shoes—鞋,trousers—裤子等由两部分组成的名词一般要用复数形式。如果要表示一副眼镜应用a pair of glasses而这时的谓语动词应与量词相一致。如:This pair of glasses is very good.
[误]May I borrow two radioes?[正]May I borrow two radios?
[析]以o结尾的名词大都是用加es来表示其复数形式,但如果o前面是一个元音字母或外来语时则只加s就可以了。这样的词有zoo—zoos,piano—pianos.
[误]This is a Mary's dictionary.[正]This is Mary's dictionary.
[析]如名词前有指示代词this, that, these those,及其他修饰词our,some, every, which, 或所有格时,则不要再加冠词。
[误]There are much people in the garden.[正]There are many people in the garden.
[析]可数名词前应用many, few, a few, a lot of 来修饰,而people是可数名词,而且是复数名词,如:The people are planting trees here.
[误]I want a few water.[正]I want a little water.
[析]不可数名词前可以用a little, little, a lot of, some来修饰,但不可用many,few来修饰。
[误]Thank you very much. Your family is very kind to me.[正]Thank you very much. Your family are very kind to me.
[误]Tom's and Mary's family are waiting for us.[正]Tom's and Mary's families are waiting for us.
[误]I'm sorry. I have to go. Tom's families are waiting for me.
[正]I'm sorry. I have to go. Tom's family are waiting for me.
[析]集合名词如果指某个集合的整体,则应视为单数,如指某个集合体中的个体则应视为复数。如:My family is a big family. When I came in, Tom's family were watching TV. 即汤姆一家人正在看电视。这样的集合名词有:family, class, team
[误]Don't eat too much meats.[正]Don't eat too much meat.
[误]Food in that restaurant is very good.[正]The food in that restaurant is very good.
[析]物质名词是不可数名词,在使用中不可以加s,即它没有复数形式。也不可加不定冠词。但如果用于特指某一物质时可以加定冠词。如:I don't like drinking coffee, but the coffee in that cup is really good.
[误]Please give me two waters.[正]Please give me two glasses of water.
[析]物质名词如要加计量时,一定要加量词,如:two cups of tea,two glasses of water,a glass of milk,a loaf of bread, a piece of bread,a box of sugar,a bowl of rice,a bottle of orange,a bag of earth例: I'll tell you a piece of good news.
[误]Can you give me the newspaper of today?[正]Can you give me today's newspaper?
[析]加's构成所有格的名词一般应指有生命的人或物。如:Mary's hair,但在英文的习惯用法中对时间、距离等名词的所有格多用's来构成而不用of结构。如:a five minutes' walk.
[误]Please make a room for the lady in the school bus.[正]Please make room for the lady in the school bus.
[析]英语中更多的名词是含有多种用法和多种含意的,
如: room为可数名词时为“房间”,如:I live in Room 5.而room为抽象名词时为空间上面一句话应译为“请给老妇人在校车上留个地方。”这样的词还有:glass 玻璃glasses 眼镜stone 石头a stone 一块石头time 时间two times 两次wood 木头woods 树林
[误]My mother bought two fishes for supper this morning.[正]My mother bought two fish for supper this morning.
[析]英语中有些名词单复同形,如:fish, deer, sheep, Chinese (中国人), means (方法)。所以应讲one fish, two fish, one Chinese, two Chinese. 如果讲There are five fishes in the pool.应译为池中有五种鱼而不是五条鱼。
[误]We have five German in this meeting.[正]We have five Germans in this meeting.
[析]英国人Englishman的复数形式为Englishmen,而German 则要加s,因为它不是由国名与man的组合词。
[误]Physics are very difficult to learn.[正]Physics is very difficult to learn.
[析]虽以s结尾但只能用作单数名词有:科学,学科名字:Physics. Mathematics politics游戏名称:bowls 专有名称:Niagara Falls(尼亚加拉瀑布) 其他名词:news(消息,新闻)
[误]There is a people in the room.[正]There is a person in the room.[正]There is a man in the room.
[析]people是复数名词,不可用作单数,如要用来讲一个人时应用a person, a man, a woman。同样的词有police.要讲一个警察时则要用a policeman, a policewoman。
[误]There is a new car. It is Jone's and Mary's.[正]There is a new car. It is Jone and Mary's.
[析]有生命名词的所有格,如果是单数名词则加's如:Mary's car.如果是以s结尾的复数名词则只在s后面加’如:teachers' offices.如果是复数名词但不是以s结尾,则只加’s,如:children's palace 要注意的是当两个名词并列时,如表示归两人共同所有,则在最后一个名词后面加's,如果表示分别所有则在两个名词后分别加's,如:This is Mary and Jone's home.即Mary与Jone是一家人。这是他们共同的家。而These are Mary's and Jone's homes.则应译为这里是Mary的家与Jone 的家。
[误]He is an old friend of my father.[正]He is an old friend of my father's.
[误]The teacher with five students are coming here.[正]The teacher with five students is coming here.
[析]要注意由with引出的介词短语不是本句的主语,这与连词and有很大的区别,如:The teacher and five students are coming here. 这里由介词引出的短语仅仅是teacher的修饰语。
[误]There are a lot of information here, but we don't need them.
[正]There is a lot of information here, but we don't need it.
[析]information为不可数名词,而用作代替它的词要用it而不能用them.
[误]The Browns is going to visit China.[正]The Browns are going to visit China.
[析]定冠词加姓加s,则意为“Brown先生一家人”。所以应用复数谓语动词。Brown先生一家将要访问中国。
(三) 例题解析 1. Lucy and Lily___in the same class. A. am B. is C. are D. be
[答案]C.[析]由and连接两个单数名词作主语时应按复数名词来搭配谓语动词。
2. Which is the ___to the bus stop, please? A road B way C street D address
[答案]B.[析]这是考察同意词辨析,road是指较宽阔的大道,意为“乡间公路”,而street意为道路两边的建筑物较高,可视为街道之意,而way则多为要到达某地所要经过的途径,还可引深为方式、方法。而address则为“地址”。如:There is a car running along the country road. I live at 105 Park street. Can you show me the way to the National Museum?
3. Hurry up! There is___ time left. A little B a little C few D a few
[答案]A.[析]因time作为时间讲为不可数名词,所以不可用few,a few来修饰。另外,英文的表达法与中文不同,中文讲,快点,时间不多了,而英文要讲,快点,没时间了。因此,要用little而不用a little.
4. How many ___can you see in the picture? A tomatos B tomatoes C tomato D the tomato
[答案]B.[析]用How many提问时,其名词要用复数形式,而tomato的复数要加es.
5. — ___is the meat. Please?— Ten yuan a kilo.A How much B How many C How old D How long
[答案]A.[析]由对话的答语可看出其问句问的是价格。钱数作为整体、价格讲时,不论其值是多少都是不可数名词,要用how much 提问。
6 The boy's name is James Allen Green. So his given name is___.
A James Allen B Allen Green C James Green D Mr. Green
[答案]A.[析]英文的习惯与中文不同,中文是姓在前名字在后,而英文则是姓在最后,其第一个名字是由父母所起的,中间的名字可能是父母、教父所起的,但都可称作given name,而姓在英文中是family name.
7 Shanghai is one of the biggest___in our country.A city B city's C citys D cities
[答案]D.[析]复音字母以y结尾的单词的复数形式要把y变成i再加es。one of 加名词的结构中的名词应用复数。
二、 冠词 (一) 知识概要
冠词在英语中只有3个词,分为两类:不定冠词a与an,定冠词the。 a用在以辅音开始的单数名词前,an用于以元音开始的单词前。不定冠词用来表示一类事物中泛指的某一事物,而定冠词则用于特指的某一个或某些事物,可用于不可数名词、可数名词单数及可数名词复数前。
(二) 正误辨析[误]This building is an university.[正]This building is a university.
[析]a用于以辅音音素开始的单词前,而an用于以元音音素开始的单词前,而不是元音字母开头的单词前。university的第一个音素是[j],所以用a而不要用an。又如:There is a “n” in the word.是错句,应为:There is an “n”in the word.因字母n的发音的第一个音素是元音。要注意的还有hour因其第一个字母h不发音,所以应该用an hour。例如:an hour a useful dictionary a used car.
[误]I need a umbrella because it looks like raining.[正]I need an umbrella because it looks like raining.
[析]因umbrella的第一个音素是元音,所以应用an.常用的情况有:an old man, an English teacher, an elephant, an idea, an hour ago, an honest boy…。
[误]“Can you help me”“Sorry, I'm in hurry.”[正]“Can you help me” “Sorry. I'm in a hurry.”

2. 指某一类人或事物中的一个,如:An elephant is bigger than a horse.
3. 泛指某一人或事物,如:A man is waiting for you at the school gate.
4. 相当于“one”的概念,如:I just bought a new dictionary.
5. 其主要的难点是用在固定词组中:如:have a walk/a rest /a look又如:in a hurry 匆匆忙忙make a face 作鬼脸
a number of =many又如:have a good time (玩得好) have a cold (感冒)have a headache (头痛)have a break=have a rest
[误]I bought the dictionary yesterday. A dictionary is very good.
[正]I bought a dictionary yesterday. The dictionary is very good.
[析]在文章中第一次提到某物时用不定冠词,而第二次提到时用定冠词。
[误]Please turn off lights before you leave.[正]Please turn off the lights before you leave.
[析]虽然是第一次提到某物但说话双方均知其所指,也应用定冠词。

[析]有些名词被用作其本身原来所含目的时不加冠词,如:go to school上学,leave school(辍学),after school(放学),又如,He was in hospital for two days.(他在医院住院两天了。)而:He went to the hospital to see his mother.
[误]I went to New York by his car.[正]I went to New York by car.[正]I went to New York in his car.
[析]by仅仅与交通工具相连表示应用某种工具,而加了别的修饰词后其前面的介词也应作相应的转换。
如:by car (坐小汽车)by taxi (坐出租车)by bike (骑自行车)by water (乘船)by air (乘飞机)by sea (乘船)

[正]We have a lot of homework to do today. So we need two or three hours to finish it.
[析]在应用代词时,要注意人称,格与数的一致性。这里it所代替的是不可数名词homework, 所以应用it。
[误]He and you should go to the library to return the books.[正]You and he should go to the library to return the books.
[析]当两个以上的人称代词并列时其排列顺序一般为you, he, she, I,而复数时为we, you, they:如男女并列时,应先男后女,如:He and she … You, he and I

[析]在电话用语中,this指讲话人自己,而that指对方。
[误]The days in summer are longer than this in winter.
[正]The days in summer are longer than those in winter.
[析]在比较句中往往为了避免重复,可以用that或those取代前面提到的事物,如是单数时用that,复数时用those,如:The weather in Beijing is hotter than that in Chang Chun.
[误]It is so a good book that everyone likes to read.
[正]It is such a good book that everyone likes to read.
[正]It is so good a book that everyone likes to read.
[析]在可数名词单数时可用so+形容词+不定冠词+名词+that从句,也可用such+不定冠词+形容词+that从句。在不可数名词或可数名词复数时,只用such, 如:It is such good weather that I want to go swimming. They are such good books that I want to buy them all.在many, much, few, little这4个词前仅能用so,
[误]I want to buy a same dictionary as yours.[正]I want to buy the same dictionary as yours.
[析]same与定冠词the是固定搭配不可更改。这样的用法还有all the same(仍然)。

[析]在either…or,或neither…nor连接两个主语时,其谓语动词要与和其相近的那个主语相配。

[析]neither用于两者中无一个,而none则用于多于两者中的人或事物无一个。

[析]each作句子主语时其谓语动词要用单数形式,如:Each of us wants to learn English well

[正]Every one of us should do housework two hours a day.
[析]everyone不可与of结构相连接使用,而every one则可以这样用。

[析]要注意的是every day是“每天”,而everyday则是形容词为“日常的”。如:everyday English日常英语,everyday life日常生活。
[误]There are trees on every sides of the street.[正]There are trees on each side of the street.

[误]There are ten students here Where are the others students?
[正]There are ten students here.Where are the others?
[正]There are ten students here Where are the other students?
[析]the others=the other students.
[误]The old man has two sons. One is a teacher, another is a doctor.
[正]The old man has two sons. One is a teacher, the other is a doctor.
[析]another用于泛指,如:Is it far from here to the station?I'm sorry. I have no idea. One may say it is quite near; another may say it is far from here.但在特指时则要用the other.它可以用作定语,the other one,也可以用作代词the other,但the other用作代词时它的含意一定是单数。如果指三者或者三者以上的情况时,则要用one…another…the other.或者one…a second…the third…

[误]I want any books to read. Do you have any?[正]I want some books to read. Do you have any?
[析]按照语法any用于疑问句和否定句,而some用于肯定句。

[析]在由would you like发出的问句中,表达了说话者真心实意要为对方提供些饮料,或在说话者想得到对方的肯定答复时,在疑问句中要用some而不用any。
[误]Someone want to meet you.[正]Someone wants to meet you.
[析]不定代词应被看作单数,即使用and连接两个不定代词,也要看作单数,如:Anyone and everyone has the right. 任何人,每一个人都有这样的权力。
[误]New York is much colder in winter than before.[正]It is much colder in New York in winter than before.
[析]it常常用在英文的句子中来代表时间、距离、天气、自然现象,或用在句中作形式主语或宾语,如:It is ten o'clock now. (代时间)It is far from here to the airport. (代距离)
It is very hot.(代天气) It is very difficult to learn English well. (作形式主语)
