名词的所有格的构成方法
分类 举例
名词的所有格一般用于有生命的名词,如果该名词为单数,在词尾上加上“’s”,即构成其所有格。 Tom’s bike汤姆的自行车
以“s”结尾的专有名词,在词尾可加“’s”或“’” Engles’s或(Engles’) works恩格斯的著作
以s结尾的复数名词,在词尾加“’”构成其所有格 a works’ school建筑工程学校
不以s结尾的复数名词,在词尾加“’s ”构成其所有格 Women’s Day妇女节
复合名词在末一个词的词尾上加“’s”构成其所有格 the editor-in-chief’s office总编辑室
名词的所有格特殊用法
分类 举例
如果一个事物为两个人所有,在后一个名词的词尾加“’s”如果不是共有,在两个名词的词尾都要加“’s” Tom and Mike’s room.汤姆和麦克的房间。(共有)Tom’s and Mike’s books.汤姆的书和麦克的书。(不共有)
表示店铺或某人的家时,常在名词所有格之后省去shop;house或home等词 the tailor’s成衣店 the barber’s理发店 at my aunt’s在我姑姑家
表示无生命的名词,一般用of短语来表示所有关系,该短语位于其修饰的名词之后 the teachers of our school.但表示时间﹑距离﹑国家﹑城市的无生命名词,可以在词尾加“’s”或“’”表示所有格。today’s papers ten minutes’ walk。 拟人代名词的所有格用“’s”Nature’s works大自然的杰作Heaven’s will天意Fortune’s favorite幸运的宠儿
表示有生命的名词也可以用of短语表示所有关系,而且当该名词带有较长的定语时,就只能用of短语来表示所有关系 the teacher of the boys who are playing football on the playground
of短语+所有格的用法:在表示所属物的名词前如有不定冠词、数词、不定代词或指示代词时,常用of短语+所有格这一结构表示所属关系 an old friend of my uncle’s
规则 情 况
语法一致原则 以单数名词或代词动词不定式短语,动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。His father is working on the farm. To study English well is not easy.Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes. What he said is very important for us all. 由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。What I bought were three English books.
由连接词and或both…and连接起来的主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。但若所连接的两个词是指同一个人或物时,它后面的谓语就用单数形式。由and 连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every 或more than a (an)/one, many a (an) 修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。either, neither, each, every 或no+单数名词和由some, any no, every构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。.Lucy and Lily are twins. The writer and artist has come.Every student and every teach is in the classroom. Many a boy and many a girl likes it.No boy and no girl likes it. Each of us has a new book. Is everyone here today Somebody is speaking in class.Everything around us is matter
在定语从句里,关系代词that, who, which 等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。He is one of my friends who are working hard. He is the (only) one of my friends who is working hard.
在强调句型中应与被强调部分一致It is I who am going to the cinema tonight. It is we who are going to the cinema tonight.
如果集体名词指的是整个集体,它的谓语动词用单数形式; 如果它指的集体的成员,其谓语动词用复数形式The police are looking for the lost child. The cattle are eating grass in the field.His family has moved to the south .(他的一家) His family are watching TV.(他的家人)Class four is on the third floor.(四班) Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.(四班的学生)
由a lot of /lots of/ plenty of/ a heap of/ heaps of/ the rest of/the majority of+名词构成的短语以及由分数或百分数+名词构成的短语作主语时,其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。There are a lot of people in the classroom. Three-fourths of the surface of the earth is sea.50 percent of the students in our class are girls.此外,还有a number of +复数名词有类似的用法(用复数),但the number of +复数名词的数就得依number 而定(用单数)。A number of students have gone to the farm to help the farmer pick apples.The number of pages in this book is three hundred.
在倒装句中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致There comes the bus. On the wall are many pictures.Such is the result. Such are the facts.Between the two hills stands a monument.
逻辑意义一致原则 What, who, which, any, more, all 等代词可以是单数,也可是复数, 主要靠意思来决定。Which is your bag Which are your bags Are any of you good at English Has any of you got a pen All can be done has been done. All is going well. All have been taken out. All have gone to Beijing.
表示时间重量长度价值等的名词的复数作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式,这是由于作主语的名词在概念上是一个整体。Thirty minutes is enough for the work. Twenty pounds is too dear.如强调这类词的复数意义,则谓语动词要用复数形式Forty kilos of water are used every day.
若英语是书名名格言剧名报名国名等的复数形式,其谓语动词通常用单数形式。The United States is smaller than China. “The Arabian Nights” is an interesting story-book.
表数量的短语“one and a half”后面接复数名词作主语时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。One and a half apples is left on the table.
一些学科名词是以-ics结尾,如:mathematics, politics, physics 以及news, works 等。都属于形式上是复数的名词, 实际意义为单数名词,它们作主语时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。The paper works was built in 1990.这家造纸厂建于1990年。I don’t think physics is easy to study.
trousers, glasses, clothes, shoes, scissors (剪刀)等词作主语时,谓语用复数,但如果这些名词前有a(the) pair of 等量词修饰时(clothes被a suit of 修饰)谓语动词用单数。My glasses are broken. The pair of shoes under the bed is his.
“定冠词the+形容词或分词”,表示某一类人动词用复数;若表示某一类东西时,动词用单数。The old are taken good care of there. The beautiful gives pleasure to all.
就近/远一致原则 当两个主语由either or, neither nor, not only but also ,whether or 连接时,谓语动词和邻近的主语保持一致,即就近一致。Either the teacher or the students are our friends. Neither he nor they are wholly right.Neither they nor he is wholly right. Is neither he nor they wholly right
there be 句型中be 动词的单复数取决于其后的主语。如果其后是由and 连接的两个主语,则应与靠近的那个主语保持一致,即就近一致。There are two chairs and a desk in the room. There is a desk and two chairs in the room.
主语后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, besides, along with, including, in addition to 等引起的短语, 谓语动词要跟主语一致,即就远一致。Mr. Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China.A woman with a baby was on the bus. Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground.She, like you and Tom, is very tall. The girls as well as the boy have learned to speak Japanese.No one except my teachers knows anything about it.
名词考点聚焦
名词是英语的主要词汇之一,也是历年高考的重要考点。综合近几年高考对名词的考查,单项填空题中,每年都出现1—2道题。此外,在阅读理解和完形填空中,名词的一词多义、熟词新意也经常涉及。因此,在备考中一定要结合具体的语境去感悟、理解名词的辨析、名词的一词多义以及名词的习惯用法等。
①We always keep ______ spare paper, in case we ran out.
A. too much B. a number of C. plenty of D. a good many
【解析】 答案为C。“paper”作为“纸”解释时为不可数名词,所以先排除B和D两个选项。根据题意“我们总是准备充足的备用纸张,以防用光。”选择答案C。too much意为“太多”尽管修饰不可数名词,但用在这儿不符合题意。
②The young dancers looked so charming in their beautiful clothes that we took ___ pictures of them.
A. many of B. masses of C. the number of D. a large amount of
【解析】答案为B。【解析】答案为masses of 意为“大量的”既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词;the number of…意为“……的数量”;a large amount of意为“大量的”后接不可数名词;“many of”后接前面带有定冠词的名词,意为“……中的许多”。
一是考查语义方面的辨析:主要考查某些多义词在特定上下文中的引申含义,以及准确辨别一些同义、近义词在特定语境中的差异的能力。
①Most air pollution is caused by the burning of___ _ like coal, gas and oil.
A. fuels B. articles C. goods D. products
【解析】答案为A。由题干中的“coal,gas,oil”可知都是燃料,故正确答案A项意为“燃料”。articles意为“物品”;goods意为“货物、商品”;products意为“产品”。
②To save some of the human languages before they are forgotten,
the students in our school started a discussion “Save Our ”.
A. Sky B. Life C. Arts D. Voices

③—Shall we go out for a walk
—Sorry. This is not the right to invite me. I am too tired to walk.
A. moment B. situation C. place D. chance
【解析】答案为A。句意:“我们出去散散步好吗?”“对不起,这不是邀请我的合适的时间,我太累了而不想去散步。”moment意为“某一时刻,片刻”;situation意为“情形,状况”;place意为“地方”;chance意为“机会”。
④The top leaders of the two countries are holding talks in a friendly .

⑤What’s the of having a public open space where you can’t eat, drink or even simply hang out for a
while
A. sense B. matter C. case D. opinion

二是考查搭配方面的辨析:主要考查固定句型中的名词、名词与动词的搭配以及名词与介词的搭配等。
①The young man made a ______to his parents that he would try to earn his own living after graduation.
A. prediction B. promise C. plan D. contribution
【解析】答案为B。句意:这位年轻人向他的父母许诺说毕业之后他将努力自食其力。make a promise意为“许诺、答应”其后的“that”从句为同位语从句,补充说明先行词“promise”的内容,其它选项不合句意。
②I bought a dress for only 2010 dollars in a sale; it was a real .
A. exchange B. bargain C. trade D. business
【解析】答案为B。bargain用作名词时,意为“廉价货,便宜货”,a real bargain意为“真便宜”。
③It is no arguing with Bill because he will never change his mind.
