名词变复数的方法

Answer 1

名词变复数的规则：

sh,
ch,
x等结尾的词加“es”,如bus→buses,
watch→watches等；
3．以辅音字母＋y结尾的词,变y为i加es,如baby→babies等；以元音字母＋
y结尾的名词变复数时,直接加s变复数,如monkey→monkeys,
holiday→holidays,
storey→storeys（楼层）；
4．以o
结尾的名词变复数时：
a）加s的名词有：photo→photos
,piano→pianos,
radio→radios,

2)以s、x、sh、ch结尾的名词加es: glasses, boxes, brushes, matches.�

3)以辅音字母加y结尾的名词，变y为i加es: cities, babies, enemies.�4)以f或fe结尾的名词，多数变f为v加es: wives, knives.但有些词只加s: roofs, proof s, chiefs.�

6)不规则名词：foot→feet, goose→geese, tooth→teeth, child→children, man→me n, woman→women, sheep→sheep, deer→deer, mouse→mice.

8)复合名词变复数：以不可数名词结尾的复合名词无复数形式，如：homework.�

以man或woman为前缀的复合名词变复数，前后两个名词都变复数，如：manservant→menservants, woman student women students.�

其它复合名词变复数：grown�up→grown�ups, brother�in�law→brothers�in�law, stand�by→stands�by.�

9)复合形容词做定语时，其中的名词保持单数：a six�year�old boy，a two�hundred�page book

【例句】�A second doctor must confirm that these criteria ______ and the death must be re ported to the police department.�

A) has been met

B) have been met�

C) was met

D) was being met�

criteria是复数形式，故A，C，D都为错误选项。正确答案为B。

1) The university authorities are seriously considering abandoning the traditional______class.�

A) fifth minutes

B) fifty�minutes�

C) fifty�minute

D) fifty minute's�

复合形容词用作定语时，其中的名词不变复数，故B不对。A不能做定语，D应为fifty minutes'，正确答案为C。本回答被网友采纳
