高考语法-数词
1.数词的定义
数词是表示数目多少或先后顺序的词,有基数词和序数词两种。
表数量的数词叫基数词,如one, two, three,...
表顺序的数词叫序数词,如first, second, third, fourth, fifth,...
2.基数词构成
①1-12单独记
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
②13-19词尾为 teen:thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen
③20-90逢整十词尾为 ty:twenty, thirty, forty, fifty,...
④21-99在十位数和个位数之间加连字符构成,如:
73 seventy three, 88 eighty eight
3.序数词
(1)基数词变为序数词,记忆口诀
一二三要单独记:one→first, two → second, three → third
th要从四加起:four → fourth, five → fifth,...
eight少个t:eight → eighth
nine去掉e:nine → ninth
ve用f来代替:five → fifth, twelve → twelfth
ty变成tie:twenty → twentieth
表第“几十几”,基数加序数记心里:
twenty one→twenty first
(2)序数词的使用
①序数词在句中主要作定语,一般情况下序数词前要加定冠词。
Monday is the second day of a week. 星期一是一周的第二天。
②序数词前有时加不定冠词,表示“又一、再一”,相当于another。
Would you like a second cup of tea 你还想再来一杯茶吗?
I had a fourth apple.我(吃了三个苹果后)又吃了一个苹果。
③first, second等有时可表示一批人或物。
The first milu deer came from China in the 1860s.
最早的麋鹿是在十九世纪六十年代来自中国的。
④有时序数词作状语,不加冠词。
He came out first in the contest.他在比赛中获得第一名。
⑤first, second等在用来指“冠军、亚军”等获胜名次时也常不加冠词。
He is first.他是冠军。
4.百分数、分数、小数的构成及用法
(1)百分数:基数词加百分号%(percent): 89%→eighty nine percent
(2)分数:分子基数词,分母序数词。分子大于1,分母用复数。1/3: one third,2/5: two fifths
[易错提醒]
(1)one and a half后的名词用复数,谓语动词一般用单数,不过事实上也可用复数。
(2)①当hundred,thousand,million,billion前面有基数词时,用单数形式,词尾不加 s;前面有many, several,a few修饰时,仍用单数形式:several billion years
②表示概数时,用ten, hundred, thousand, billion的复数形式加of,后面接复数名词。 thousands of lakes and forests
(3)“许多;很多;大量”的表达
在英语中,表示“许多,很多,大量”含义的单词除了many和much以外,还有许多较常用的词组。
①只接可数名词复数的有several, (a good/great) many, hundreds of, a (large/good/great) number of, numbers of, few, a few, quite a few, not a few等。
②只接不可数名词的有little, a little, quite a little, an amount of, amounts of(谓语动词用复数形式), a good/great deal of, a large sum of 等。
③既可接可数名词复数也可接不可数名词的有some, any, all, none, enough, plenty of, a lot of, lots of, a (large) quantity of, quantities of(谓语动词用复数形式), a diversity of, diversities of, a variety of, varieties of, a world of, a wealth of 等。
【技法点拨】
在语法填空中:
1.词性转换题:“句子成分”是关键
(1)如果要填的词在句中作主语、宾语或表语要考虑名词形式;
(2)如果要填的词被形容词、定冠词或形容词性物主代词所修饰,要考虑名词形式;
2.名词复数题:“牢记规则”辨是非
(1)如果空格处被these,several,many和数词等修饰时,要考虑名词的复数形式;
(2)如果一般现在时的谓语动词是动词原形或are,要考虑用名词的复数形式。
3.数词的复数形式前要注意基数词的应用;可数名词单数前要注意序数词的应用,序数词前通常有定冠词。
