a man teacher, two men teachers三、 不可数名词的数不可数名词一般情况下没有复数变化。物质名词需要计数时，通常用起量词作用的名词词组来表示，如A piece of advice/ work/ news/ meat/ coal/ musicA cup of tea/ coffee/ water/, two bottles of milk, a bag of riceA set of furniture, two drops of water注意：1. 有些不可数名词是以s结尾，不要误以为是可数名词，如News, maths, physics, politics等，它们如作主语，谓语用单数2. 在有些情况下，名词作定语，和of作定语，含义不同，如A cup of coffee一杯咖啡， a coffee cup 咖啡杯l 名词的格现代英语名词有两个格，通格和所有格。当名词在句中做主语，宾语或补语时，名词无词性变化，称之为通格，当一个名词去修饰句中另一个名词时，有时用通格，有时用s属格，或of 属格1. 所有格的构成在名词后加s,如 Marys books, the boys girl friend1) 如果名词以s结尾，变复数时再词尾的s右上方加The students desks, these girls mother2) 如果名词复数是不规则名词，所有格的构成是加s, 如The Childrens Palace, womens clothes3) 当and连接两个或几个并列名词时，如果所有格后的名词为两人或几人共同所有，只将最后一个名词变成所有格，如：Tom and Marys books; Jean and my sisters books4) 如果所有格后的名词为两个或几个分别所有，则在每个名词后都加s,如：Toms and Marys mother；Johns and Jeans photos5) 表示店铺、医院、诊所、住宅等所有格后的名词可省略，尤其当后面的名词是表示处所的名词 At the doctors, at the tailors, at the teachers, at the barbers 2. s属格与of属格的通用和区别1) 一般来说，s属格多用于有生命的名词，而of属格则主要用于无生命的名词（但在现代英语中，这一界限已被打破，如：Newtons laws, 也可以说成 the laws of Newton; the rules of the game， 也可以说成the games rules）注：a) 有生命的名词也可用of所有格形式，如：a photo of the babyb) 但当s属格表示“类别”属性，不可用Of属格，如：A doctors degree博士学位，a teachers book教师用书2) 如果s属格表示的是具体名词“个别”的属性，可用of属格，如：The doctors arrival= the arrival of the doctor注：a doctors degree, a teachers book表示的是“泛指类别”，没有具体指哪个人，而the doctor s arrival表示的是“具体的特征”，译成“那位医生的到来”，可以换成 the arrival of the doctor3) 名词通格作定语和s属格作定语的差别。名词通格作定语表示泛指的类别，s属格作定语表示具体的特指。如：Car engines are made in this factory(轿车发动机，不是其他类别的发动机)That cars engine needs repairing(那台轿车的发动机，具体特指)They are having afternoon tea(他们在喝午茶)Yesterdays afternoon tea has gone bad(昨天的午茶坏了)4) 表示时间、距离、国家、城市等无生命的东西的名词，也可以在词尾加s或构成所有格如：用于时间 an hours ride用于度量 thirteen tons weight用于价值 a hundred yuans order用于天体 the earths satellite用于国家 Belgiums capital用于城市 Changchuns agriculture注：当today, yesterday, tomorrow分别表示“现在，过去，将来”时，只能用of属格，如：地点加s作定语，表示的关系是“所属”和范围，相应形容词作定语，说明的是属性和性质。如：Chinas resources(资源世界各国都有，Chinas resources指在中国范围内，属于中国的资源)Chinas agriculture, Chinas industry, Beijings streetsChinese history(世界各国都有本国的历史, Chinas resources是阐述中国的历史，说明历史的属性)Chinas food, Chinese food二、 双重所属格1. 构成A /two/this/that/these/those+名词+of+所有格/名词性物主代词。如：That invention of his will greatly benefit the whole worldI dont like that daughter of yours.He is a friend of my fathers.2. 双重所有格与所有格的区别He is my fathers friend. 他是我父亲的朋友（说明一件事实）He is a friend of my fathers. 他是我父亲的一个朋友（强调数量，相当于He is one of my fathers friends）His invention will greatly benefit the whole world（说明事实）That invention of his will greatly benefit the whole world。（带有赞扬的感情色彩）注：有些名词，在of后面有所属格和普通格，含义不同。常用的这类名词有opinion（意见）/portrait/ picture/ photo/ criticism（批评）。比较：An opinion of the teacher对教师的意见An opinion of the teachers教师的意见A portrait of my father，我父亲的肖像A portrait of my fathers我父亲收藏的肖像A photo of him一张他的照片A photo of his 他所拥有的一张照片A criticism of the headmaster对校长的批评A criticism of the headmasters校长的批评单项选择3.
