(三) 不可数名词
1.概述:不可数名词所表示的事物一般不能用数来计算,没有词形变化,这类词主要为抽象名词和物质名词。值得我们注意的是,英语名词的可数与不可数是一个语法概念,与实际生活中某件事物的可数不可数并不完全一致,因而不能单独从意义上加以推测。
2.表示方法:不可数名词需要计量时,用“数词或干此+量词+of+不可数名词”这样的结构来表示,量词可以是单数也可以是负数,但of后的名词只用原形。如:a piece of, a cup of, a glass of, a bottle of
There is a piece of paper in the book.  Three glasses of orange are on the desk.
注意:可数名词也可用量来表示, of 后用复数
There are two bags of clothes over there.  We have five boxes of apples.
3. 不可数名词无复数,作主语时常看成单数
Some bread is over there.  No news is good news.
4. 常用how much, much, a little, little, a lot of, some, any等来修饰不可数名词
They had much money.  weight可不可数 He does little housework at home.
5. 有些可数名词或不可数名词在一定情况下可相互转化,同一个词,但意思不同(即不可数词意义发生转变时,往往会变成可数),所以在理解时不能望文生义,只把这类词当做复数概念看待。
(1) glass(玻璃)– a glass(玻璃杯)paper() – a paper(报纸) work(工作) – a work(著作)room(空间) – a room(房间)
(2) fruit(水果) – fruits (各种水果)fish() – fishes(各种鱼)hair(所有头发) – hairs (几根头发)time(时间) – times(时代)
The girl was washing greens. (蔬菜)
Our returns are not as good as before. (利润)
Mary lost her good looks when she was old. (容貌)
6. 有些名词虽以-s结尾,但它们不是复数。如:physics, maths, politics, news
例题2:选择填空
1) I found ____ good news in ____ newspaper.
A. a, a    B. a piece of , a piece of    C. a, a piece of    D. a piece of , a

5This is an old photo of mine when I ____.

(四) 名词的所有格
1.名词的所有格表示名词间的所有关系“ …。有两种表示形式:一种是’s所有格,另一种是of所有格。如:
Beijing is China’s capital. =Beijing is the capital of China.
2. 名词所有格的构成方法
1)单数名词后加“’ s”Tom ’ s book  my friend’ s uncle
2)以s结尾的复数名词,则在s后加“ ’”即可:Teachers ’ Day  two weeks ’ holiday
3)不以s结尾的复数名词的所有格,仍按惯例加“’ s” Children’ s Day men’ s shoes
4)用of加名词,构成所属关系的短语,主要用于表示无生命名词的所有关系
