第1讲:名词
First, 名词复数的特殊变化。
普通名词的复数我们知道是直接加-s或 -es,可是偏偏有一些名词不听话,变化不规则。这些小调皮是:
a. class, box, watch, brush等词以 s, x, ch, sh, 结尾,复数要加-es;
b. story, factory 等以\辅音字母+y\结尾的词复数要先将-y 变成-i再加-es; c. knife, wife, life等以-f 或-fe结尾的词一般先将-f或-fe变为-v, 再加-es; d. 以-o结尾的名词,一般来说,末尾是\元音字母+o\的词加-s,我们学过的有radio,zoo。末尾是\辅音字母+o\的词,变复数加-es。如:tomato, hero, potato,当然其中的piano 和photo,又是一个例外,他们的结尾只能加-s。
e. child(children), foot(feet), tooth(teeth), mouse(mice), man(men ), woman(women )等词的复数变化全不遵循规则。
注意:与 man 和 woman构成的合成词,其复数形式也是 -men 和-women。如:an Englishman,two Englishmen. 但German不是合成词,故复数形式为 Germans;
f. deer,sheep等词更是懒得可以,竟然单复数同形。好记好记。 people,police,cattle 等词,以单数形式出现,但实为复数,所以它们的谓语当然也是复数形式,这就是集体名词。the English,the French,the Chinese等名词表示国民总称时,也作复数用。 注意:maths,politics,physics等学科名词,虽然以-s结尾,仍为不可数名词。还有theUnited States(美国),the United Nations(联合国)等应视为单数。
别奇怪,名词有时也可以作定语的。它作定语时一般用单数,但也有以下例外。
a. man, woman等作定语时,它的单复数以其所修饰的名词的单复数而定。如:men workers, women teachers。 b. 数词+名词作定语时,这个名词一般保留单数形式,中间加连字符。如:a ten-mile walk十里路,two-hundred trees 两百棵树。
名词所有格:
表示“??的”通常是在名词的后面加-s,如:Children's day,father's shoes。但以-s结尾的名词因为已经有s了,只需加 ' 就OK了。如果两个名词并列,并且分别有's,.则表示“分别有”。.如:John's and Mary's room(约翰和玛丽各有一间,共两间);两个名词并列,只有一个's,则表示\共有\。如:John and Mary's room(约翰和玛丽共有一间)。
还有些无生命名词的所属要用介词of来帮助一下,如:a map of China,the end of this term。 练习:
1. All the _____teachers and______students are having a meeting there. A. women ?girls B. women? girl C. woman?girls D. woman?girl

人称代词 物主代词(形容词向物主代词,名物代略) some, any的用法:我们都知道some用于肯定句中,而any则用于否定句和疑问句中。 所以somebody,someone也用于肯定句中,而anybody、anyone则用于否定和疑问句中。 注意:在Would youlike some coffee?(要来点咖啡吗?)这样的肯定疑问句中,说话人
认为对方的答案会是肯定的,或期望得到肯定回答时,用some而不用any。
every 和each的用法:every 强调全体的概念,指三个以上的人或物(含三个),不可单独使用;each强调个体概念。指两个以上的人或物 (含两个),可单独使用.。Every student in our school works hard.(我们学校的学生都很用功。) Each student may have one book.. (每个学生都可有一本书。)
both, either, neither的用法: both意为“两者全都”,与复数连用。either意为“两者中间的任何一个”,neither 表示“两者之间一个也不是”,与单数连用。如:Both of the them come from London。他们两人都是伦敦人。 You may take either with you。 两个中间你随便带哪个都行。 Neither is correct。 两个都不对。

第3讲:形容词
a beautiful little new white wooden house 从这个长长的词中可以看出多个形容词作
定语时排列有一定的先后顺序。它们往往遵循以下规律:冠词或人称代词所有格+数词+性质+大小+形状+表示老少、新旧+颜色+事物质地、人的国籍、用途。
当形容词所修饰的词为something,anything,nothing,everything等以-thing为字尾的词语时,形容词要后置。
形容词级别问题:
a. Our classroom is twice larger than theirs。(我们的教室是他们的两倍。)这种表示倍数的句子用 ?times +形容词比较级+than ? 这样的格式。你记住了吗? b. I'm three years older than you.(我比你大三岁。)表示\大三岁,\高二厘米\等时用\表示数量词的词+比较级\。
c.\越来越??\用\比较级+and +比较级\来表示。如:The earth is getting warmer and warmer。(地球变得越来越暖和。)
d.\越??就越??\用\比较级?,the+比较级?\来表示。如: The busier he is,the happier he feels。(他越忙,越觉得高兴。)
最高级用法的用法就很简单了,提醒你一点,最高级要用于三者以上。还有几点是不得不提的:
alone 和lonely:I feel lonely, because I am alone at home. 你独自一人在家用
\表示\单独的\、\独自一人的\,它表示一个客观事实,在句中只能做表语。你
