指待人、物、事、时、地、情感、概念等实体或抽象事物的词。可分为专有名词与普通名词,可数名词与不可数名词,简单名词与复合名词。
普通名词:人和物,物有可数名词和不可数名词。
专有名词:人名、地名、国家名、单位名、组织名(有一个特点:第一字母是大写的)
(一)名词的所有关系
① 在英语中,有些名词可以加’s来表示所有关系,带这种词尾的名词形式称为该名词的所有格。大多数表示有生命的东西。但是表示时间的名词特殊 如. Tom’s book My mother’s book 3 hours’ time
② 如果复数名词末尾已有s 就直接加 ’ 。如 the teachers’ office
③ 如果一些物品为两者共有,只需在后一个名词后加’s ;如果为各自所有,则需在每个名词后加’s。
如. Lucy and Lily’s bedroom. Lucy 和 Lily共用一个卧室
Lucy’s and Lily’s bedrooms. Lucy 和 Lily分别拥有各自的卧室
④ 表示无生命的物体的名词所有格,一般与of短语连用。
如 a map of the world a photo of my family
⑤ 双重所有格 把of所有格和’s所有格结合在一起表示所有关系。
如 a friend of my father’s
(二)可数名词前加a或者an
规则:辅音前面加a,元音前面加an。 首先要分清是可数还是不可数名词。还要记一些特殊情况的单词。
(1)不可数名词:oil, water, sugar, milk, flour, coffee, rubbish ,paper ,soup, ink, cabbage, meat, wood, money, beer ,cloth, ice前面不能加a 或者an
(2)国家名前面也不能加a或者an
(3)这几个单词前需要加a: ( a )Unit, ( a )university, ( a )uniform
(三)可数名词变复数
1.不可数名词都默认为单数
2.名词单数转换为复数
