第2章 Nouns 名词
第3课 单数名词
OBJECTIVES 学习目标
1 知道英语名词有单数和复数的区分。
2 能在单数名词前正确使用a/an。
Singular Nouns
Nouns can be singular or plural. When you are
talking about one person, animal, place, or
thing, use a singular noun. Mostly we use “a”
before a singular noun.
名词可以是单数或复数。当你谈论一个 a flower
a keyboard
人、一个动物、一个地方或一个事物时,
使用单数名词。通常我们在单数名词前使
用“a”。
a train
Singular Nouns
an umbrella We use “an” before words beginning with
vowel sounds (mostly a, e, i, o, u). For
example:
an axe/an igloo/an egg/an orange/an
an axe envelope
an umbrella/an ice cream/an uncle
an envelope 我们在以元音发音开头的单词之前使
用“an”(主要是a、e、i、o、u开头的单
an uncle 词)。
an egg
an orange an ice cream
Singular Nouns
We use an (not a) before these words that
begin with h (because the letter h is silent):
an heir
an honor
an hour
我们在这些以h开头的单词之前使用
an(而不是a)(因为字母h是不发音
的):
an honor an hour 一个继承人
一种荣誉
一个小时
an heir
Singular Nouns
But some words don’t follow this rule. For
example, use a (not an) before these words
that begin with u (because u here doesn’t
make a vowel sound):
a uniform
a uniform a unicorn a university
a unicorn
但有些词不符合这个规则。例如,在这
些以u开头的单词之前使用a(而不是
an)(因为这里的u不发元音):
一件制服
一所大学
a university 一头独角兽
