名詞(Noun,簡稱n.),是詞類的一種,屬于實詞 ,名詞表示人、事物、地點或抽象概念的名稱。以下是小編為大家整理的名詞的語法總結(jié),希望能幫助大家更好地認(rèn)識名詞,提高英語水平。
一、 名詞主要考點:
1.特殊名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)
2.與名詞相關(guān)的主謂一致關(guān)系
二、 關(guān)于特殊名詞的具體考點如下:
1.容易誤用為復(fù)數(shù)的不可數(shù)名詞:(這些名詞一般不能用作復(fù)數(shù),謂語動詞用單數(shù))
advice 建議,忠告 living 生活,生計
equipment 裝備,設(shè)備 progress 前進(jìn),發(fā)展
furniture 家具,設(shè)備 scenery 風(fēng)景,景色

2. 復(fù)數(shù)形式的名詞用于單數(shù)概念,其謂語動詞用單數(shù)。(這些名詞一般為表示學(xué)科或疾病的名詞)

三、名詞的主謂一致關(guān)系
英語中,主語和謂語在數(shù)、性和格上應(yīng)該保持一致,但在實際應(yīng)用中很容易被忽視,尤其是主語和謂語之間出現(xiàn)插入語,故考試中經(jīng)??嫉街髦^一致。除了以上特殊名詞謂語有特殊要求外,現(xiàn)將主謂一致的考點歸納如下:
1. 復(fù)數(shù)原則:兩個或者兩個以上的名詞由and連接作主語時;主語由both … and … 連接時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。

自從我上次見到她到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)過去二十天。 ( twenty days 這里不作整體看待, 故謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。)
5. and連接兩個名詞表示一個概念做主語時,謂語用單數(shù); 若表示的是多個不同的概念時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。
