数词-数词的学习要点
今日语法:数词的学习要点
1. 数词的种类
数词有基序数和序数词两类。
基数词表示数量的大小,如one, two, three, four等。 序数词表示序数,如first, second, third, fourth等。
数词与不定代词、冠词、指示代词、形容词性物主代词等被称作限定词。
2. 基数词变为序数词的规则
(1)第1至第19一般是在基数词后加th,
但变化特殊的有one—first, two—second, three—third, eight—eighth, nine—ninth, five—fifth, twelve—twelfth。
(2)逢十的twenty, thirty…ninety,分别改y为ieth。
如twenty—twentieth, ninety—ninetieth。
(3)表示第几十几或第几百几十几,只需将个位数改为序数词。 如: 56—fifty-six—fifty-sixth,635—six hundred and thirty-five—six hundred and thirty-fifth.
3. 基数词的读写方法
(1)三位数的读写法:个位与十位之间用连字符“-”;百位与十位之间加and;十位为零时也要加and。 如:
365读作three hundred and six-five
605读作six hundred and five
(2)大于三位数的读写法:从个位起每三位打一个撇号“’”,第一个撇号读thousand,第二个撇号读million,各撇号之间的数按三位及三位以下的数的读法读。 如:
23, 589读作twenty-three thousand five hundred and eighty-nine
6, 632, 900读作six million six hundred and thirty-two thousand nine hundred
28, 000, 000读作twenty-eight million.
4. 序数词与冠词
(1)序数词前一般要加定冠词the。 如:
It’s the third time I’ve been here. 这是我第三次到这里来。
(2)表示在原有的基础上增加,即“又一,再一”时,用不定冠词。 如:
Shall I ask her a third time? 我还要问她一次吗?
(3)下列4种情况不用冠词。
①. 序数词前已有物主代词或名词所有格时,不能再用冠词。 如:
This is Tom’s second visit to China. 她是汤姆第二次访问中国。
②. 表示比赛或考试的名词时,通常省略定冠词。 如:
He was (the) second in the English exam. 在这次英语考试中他得了第二名。
③. 序数词被用作副词时不用冠词。
I have to finish my homework first. 我得先把作业完成好。
5. 在某些习语中不用冠词。
如at first起初, first of all首先, at first sight乍一看。
6. 数词的语法功能
(1)作主语:The second was better.第二个好些。
(2)作表语:She was second in her class.她在班上是第二名。
(3)作宾语:I was among the first to arrive.我是第一批到的。
