2. 只有复数:cattle, people
3. 常以复数形式出现:
4. 以s结尾的学科或专有名词常作单数:

五、几组易错名词的用法:
1. many a + 单数名词 = many + 复数名词
2. 集合名词:family, team, audience, enemy, public, group,
作主语时,若看作一个整体时,谓语动词用单数;若表示组成分子,则用复数。
e.g. The police are on duty at the street corner.
3. population:
1)作为“人口”的总称或“居民”的总数是不可数名词,谓语用单数。
2)问“多少人口”时,不说how many或how much,而用what。
3)在谈到“人口比……多”时,常用large,great;“人口少”时,常用small,而不用much,many或little。
4)当谈及“有人口”时, 习惯上用have a population of…。
5)当“百分数/分数+ of the population”作主语时,谓语用复数。
6)表示某个地区人口时,其前应有定冠词。
7)population不能与people连用。
e.g. The population in China is very large, and 80% of the population are farmers.
六、表示“许多”的词组:
1. 代替many,修饰可数名词的有:
2. 代替much,修饰不可数名词的有:a great deal of
3. 既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词的有:
七、用定冠词加上姓氏的复数形式,表示其全家人或夫妇两人: the Smiths
八、名词的双重所有格的用法:
1. 只能用于指人的名词
2. 前一名词必须泛指或有this,that,those,another,some,every,several,such,any,which,what修饰或限制,或前面有数词。
九、名词前多个形容词的排列顺序:
描绘性+大小/新旧/年龄/温度/形式+颜色/形状+起源/出处+材料/目的分类
e.g. a pretty little American girl
十、名词用来作定语,修饰名词:
有生命的多用’s或s’的所有格,无生命的多用of短语。
一个名词直接做定语修饰另一个名词,往往属于固定的搭配。
telephone number, school education, air pollution, research work,
bus driver, coffee cup, sports meet, village people
十一、表示具有某种特性、状态、特点、情感、情绪的人或事,表示变化了的词义,这一类抽象名词已完全名词化变为可数名词:

类似: come across, happen to do, chance to do, by chance
e.g. He had met with an accident on the way. This is why he was late for the meeting.
e.g. My father told me of an incident that took place on his first day at school.
2. affair / business / matter
affair的单数形式作“事情、事件”解,复数形式作“事务、业务”解,用指国内、国际的事务。
matter作“事情、东西、问题”解,通常指必须考虑和处理的事情。
另外:1)the matter麻烦事
3.
clothes统指衣服,不能与数词连用,但可以说many(a few,those,my)clothes,
说“一套衣服”可以表达为“a suit of clothes”,其后的谓语动词用复数形式。
4. fun / joke
fun和joke都有“开玩笑”的意思,fun是不可数名词,而joke可用做动词,表示“开玩笑”,而fun不能用作动词。
同某人开玩笑:make fun of, play a joke / jokes on sb.
5. The moment (that)… / for the moment
in a moment“一会儿后”,指从现在往后的一段时间,也可指“很短的一段时间内”。

6. pay / wage / salary
pay是不可数名词,是个常用词,可替代其他两个词。
