這部分內(nèi)容主要考察的是名詞復(fù)數(shù)的知識(shí)點(diǎn)：

1) 一般情況加s

例如：map-maps boy-boys girl-girls pen-pens bag-bags car-cars

（清輔音后讀/s/，濁輔音和元音后讀/z/，/s/、/z/、/d?/等音后發(fā)/iz/)

2) 以s, sh, ch, x結(jié)尾加es，讀/iz/。

例如：bus-buses watch-watches box-boxes brush-brushes

3) 以輔音字母+y結(jié)尾，變y為i再加es，讀/iz/。

例如：baby---babies city-cities country-countries

4) 以y結(jié)尾的專有名詞或元音字母+y結(jié)尾的名詞變復(fù)數(shù)時(shí)，直接加s，讀/z/

例如：monkey---monkeysholiday---holidays Mary---Marys(專有名詞)

5) 以o結(jié)尾的詞部分加s，部分加es。有生命加es 無(wú)生命加s 只是對(duì)部分詞匯的記憶方法，不符合于所有以o結(jié)尾的詞匯。

例如：potato - potatoes（土豆）, echo - echoes（回聲），zoo - zoos（動(dòng)物園），bamboo - bamboos（竹子）

6）有些以f或fe結(jié)尾的，把f或fe變ve加s，例如：leaf-leaves shelf-shelves
