Learning tips(点滴经验)
一、以f 和fe 结尾的可数名词,复数改f 为v 加es;
小偷的妻子用一束树叶挡住自己,用面包和小牛把狼引出来,然后用书架上的一把刀子把狼砍成两半,结束了它的生命。
二、其他以f 和fe 结尾的可数名词,复数直接加s。
如:roof ——roofs chief——— chiefs
复合词构成复数的方法:
1)写成一个单词的, 通常在第二部分加复数词尾:
bedroom——
raincoat——
2)分开写的单词,通常在第二个部分后加复数词尾:
(但第一部分是man, woman 时,两部分都要变复数形式)
boy student ———
man writer ———
woman doctor ——
3)有连字符号的,如其中有名词,则在主体名词后加复数词尾;如其中无名词,则在整个词末加复数词尾。
grown-up ——
son-in-law ——
looker-on ——
名词复数的一些用法:
1、以s或es结尾,表示疾病、学科的名词,某些专有名词通常被用做单数,如:physics, the United States

2、以s或es结尾,表示有两部分构成的工作的工具、仪器、服装等名词通常做复数,如:glasses, scissors, trousers
