  1. 我们是法国人,他们是德国人。
  误:We are Frenchmen, and they are Germen.
  正:We are Frenchmen, and they are Germans.
  析:Frenchman(法国人)其复数形式是Frenchmen,而German(德国人)的复数形式是Germans。


  2.王教授给我提了一些好建议。
  误:Professor Wang gave me some good advices.
  正:Professor Wang gave me some good advice.
  析:advice是不可数名词,不可在其后加s变为复数,也不可在其前面用不定冠词an。如说“一项建议”,可说a piece of advice.
  注意:help虽然无复数形式,但常见有不定冠词。如:Computer is a great help in research.


  3. 我们学校有九百多学生。
  误:There are more than nine hundreds students in our school.
  正:There are more than nine hundred students in our school.
  析:dozen,hundred, thousand等词前面有数词表示明确具体的数目时,后面不管有没有of都不用复数形式。如:
  I have collected over three hundred Chinese stamps since I came here.

  4. 昨天她买了几十个鸡蛋。
  误:She bought dozen of eggs yesterday.
  正:She bought dozens of eggs yesterday.
  析:当dozen, hundred, thousand等词的前面没有数词,表示笼统的数目时,则用复数形式,后面接of,如:
  Thousands of years ago, the kings of Egypt built strong tombs for themselves.

  5. 她长着棕色头发,蓝眼睛。
  误:She has brown hairs and blue eyes.
  正:She has brown hair and blue eyes.
  析:hair作“毛发”总称,是集体名词,用作单数。但是,当hair被看成是“毛发”总体的每一根的个体时,则是可数名词,有单数复数之分。比较:
  My mother has grey hair
  我母亲满头白发。(头上全是白发,没有黑发)
  My mother has grey hairs.
  我母亲有些白发。(头发绝大多数是黑的,只有少数白发)

  6. 这些是绵羊,那些是山羊。
  误:These are sheeps. Those are goats.
  误:These are sheep. Those are goats.
  析:sheep作绵羊解,单复数相同,经常用到的单复数相同的名词还有(鱼条数),(鹿),(中国人),(日本人)等。如:
  But there were not any fish in it.
  但是里面没有鱼。
  The number of deer does not change much.
  鹿的数量没有多大改变。
  They aren’t Chinese.
  他们不是中国人。
  By that time the Japanese were already very near.
  到那时日本人已经很近了
