不可数名词复数形式的特殊含义:
英语中的专有名词、物质名词和抽象名词一般为不可数名词,但有时它们却可用作复数形式。
此时它们往往又有了新的含义。
一、专有名词的复数形式的含义
1.表示一家人或夫妻。例如:
Are the Smiths coming to our party tomorrow night?史密斯一家明晚会来参加我们的聚会吗?
2.表示同名或同姓的若干人。例如:
There are two Marys and three Roberts in his class.他班上有两个玛丽和三个罗伯特。
Did the Mr. Blakes come this morning?那几位布莱克先生今天上午来了吗?
二、物质名词的复数形式的含义
1.表示不同的种类,如food,wine,metal, wheat,rice等。例如:
The wines of France are among the best in the world.法国的葡萄酒是世界上最好的,
First of all,he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden。
首先他列出了一长串禁用的食品。
2.表示量很大,远远超过该词原来表示的程度或次数。这一类词常见的有:
sands(沙滩,沙漠),waters(水域),rains(大阵雨、雨季),winds(大风),times(时代), woods(森林),ruins(废墟),rags(碎片、破衣服),ashes(灰烬、骨灰)。例如:

These caves collapse easily in heavy rains.下大雨时这些洞穴容易倒塌。

The waitress has served twenty teas since four o’clock.从四点起,这位女服务员已上了二十份午茶。
Send two coffees and three lemonades to the room.请将两杯咖啡和三杯柠檬汁送到这个房间。
4.某些物质名词又是个体名词,它们的复数形式表示与原来个体完全不同的东西。这类词有:

证件)等。例如:
She is always wearing glasses.她总是戴着眼镜。

三、抽象名词的复效形式的含义
1.congratulations, regards, respects,thanks,wishes,apologies等复数形式用来
表示祝愿、礼貌和客气。例如:
It’s your birthday today.Congratulations!今天是你的生日,恭喜你!
You’ve given me so much help.Thanks a lot.你给了我很多帮助,非常感谢。

形容词的位置:
1.形容词一般放在名词前作定语
单个形容词修饰名词时,一般要放在名词的前面。它们的前面常常带有冠词、形容词性物主代词、指示代词、数词等。例如:
a red flower一朵红花
an interesting story一个有趣的故事
six blind men 六个盲人
my own house我自己的房子
如果有两个或两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词时,则由它们和被修饰的名词之间的密切程度而定,越密切的形容词越靠近名词。
如果几个形容词的密切程度差不多则按音节少的形容词放在前面,音节多的形容词放在后面。
2.当形容词所修饰的词是由some,any,every,no等构成的不定代词时,形容词必须置于名词之后。例如:
She has something new to tell me.她有一些新的情况告诉我。
I have nothing important to do today.今天我没有重要的工作要做。
Do you know anybody else here?这儿你还有认识的人吗?
3.形容词后面有介词短语或不定式短语时,形容词必须置于名词之后。例如:
It is a problem difficult to work out.这是一道难以解决的问题。
Edison is a student difficult to teach.爱迪生是个很难教的学生。
This is a kind of flowers easy to grow.这是一种易栽的花。
4.用 and 或 or 连接起来的两个形容词作定语时一般把它们放在被修饰的名词后面。起进一步解释的作用。例如:
All people,young or old,should be strict with themselves.
所有的人,无论老少,都应该严格要求自己。
We are building a new school, modern and super.
我们正在建一所现代化的高档次的新型学校。
All countries, rich and poor, should help one another. 所有的国家,无论穷富都应该互相帮助。
5.有少数形容词,如enough和possible,既可置于所修饰的名词前面也可以置于它所修饰的名词之后。例如:
Do you have enough time(time enough)to prepare?你有足够的时间做准备吗?
Maybe it will be a possible chance(chance possible)for you.或许它将成为一次可能的机遇。
6.有些形容词,置于名词之前与之后,含义不尽相同。例如:
the writer present 出席的作者
the present writer 现在的作者
7.表示长,宽,高,深,及年龄的形容词,应放在相应的名词之后。
This river is about 100 metres wide.
The building is more than 50 metres tall.
He is less than 40 years old.
8. enough修饰名词时,在名词前后都可以。
They said that they had enough food.= They said that they had food enough.
enough 修饰形容词和副词,位于其后。
He is old enough to join the army.
He isn’t old enough to go to school.
9.形容词else通常放在疑问代词,疑问副词或不定代词后
what/who/where/when/when else
something/anything/nothing…else
What else did you do?
Do you have anything else to say?
10.由两个或两个以上的词组成的形容词词组修饰名词时须放在名词之后。
This is the book easy to read.
这是一本容易读的书。
方式副词的构成形式:
1.由形容词加后缀-ly构成的词。如:
badly(严重地,非常),slowiy(慢慢地),politely(有礼貌地),proudly(骄傲地),carelessly(粗心地),
properly(适当地,完全地),successfully(成功地),happily(高兴地),angrily(生气地,愤怒地)等。如:
She likes to do a thing properly.她做事力求完美。
2.由分词加后缀-ly构成的词。如:
surprisingly(使人惊奇的是),hurriedly(匆忙地),undoubtedly(无疑,必定),等。如:
You are undoubtedly right. 你肯定是对的。
3.其他方式副词。如:
high(高),wide(宽),deep(深),close(近,接近)等,
其中有些和形容词同形。如:
That’s a high mountain.那是一座高山。(high用作形容词)
He jumped so high.他跳的很高。(high用作副词)
4.具有两种形式的方式副词。如:
high(高)/ highly(高高地,非常),wide(宽)/ widely(广泛地),deep(深)/ deeply (深入地,深深地),close(近,接近)/ closely(细心地)等。如:
This stream is too wide for me to jump across.
这条小溪太宽了,我跳不过去。
She opened the window wide to let in some fresh air.
她把窗子全打开了,以便让新鲜空气吹进来。
一般来讲,与形容词同形的副词表示具体概念,加-ly的副词表示抽象概念。如:

Those scientists were highly thought of.
那些科学家受到高度赞扬。
The students often work deep into the night.
那些学生经常学习到深夜。

注:以下副词:late(迟,晚)/ lately(近来),hard(努力)/ hardly(几乎不),most(最)/ mostly(大部分地,主要地),
near(附近)/ nearly(几乎)等,其两种形式意义完全不同。如:
She was studying hard at the university.她在大学中学习很努力。
My legs were so weak I could hardly stand.我的两腿发软,简直站不住了。
实意动词使用方法:
及物动词
后面必须跟宾语意义才完整的实义动词,叫做及物动词(transitive verb)。如:

“How long can I keep the book ?”Harry asked.哈里问:“这本书我可以借多久?”
Dr. Bethune set us a good example. 白求恩大夫给我们树立了好榜样。

不及物动词

Birds fly.鸟会飞。
It happened in June 1932.这件事发生于一九三二年六月。
My watch stopped.我的表停了。
She spoke at the meeting yesterday evening. 她在昨天晚上的会上发了言。
兼作及物动词和不及物动词
英语里有不少实义动词可以兼作及物动词和不及物动词。这样的动词又有两种不同的情况
a)兼作及物动词和不及物动词时,意义不变。试比较:
Shall I begin at once?我可以立刻开始吗?(begin作不及物动词)
She began working as a librarian after she left school.她毕业后当图书馆管理员。(began作及物动词)

b)兼作及物动词和不及物动词时,有时意义不尽相同。如:

Does this cloth wash well? 这布经得起洗吗?
实意动词的用法:
肯定句:
主语+动词过去式+其它
否定句:
主语+助动词didn‘t+动词原型+其他
一般过去式:
Did+主语+动词原型+其他
