1. 复数形式最普遍的变化方法就是在名词后面加-s。比如apple - apples; girl - girls; tourist - tourists. 数量为一时,用名词的单数形式;一个以上则用复数形式。比如an apple, two apples; a girl, three girls...
2. 当名词是以s结尾的时候,变成复数则加-es。比如dress - dresses; class - classes; glass - glasses.
3. 还有少量的名词比较特殊,它们的复数形式不按照上面的规则,需要单独记忆。比如man - men; woman - women. 这些名词等大家碰到,再见一个、记一个 以上这些原则只适用于可数名词!而英语中少量的不可数名词则没有复数形式。比如water, 水;rain,雨;coffee,咖啡…… 这些名词也需要特别单独记住哦!
