4、基数词
基数词的构成
①1~12 独立成词:one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten,eleven,twelve。
②13~19 的基数词以 teen 结尾。要注意 thirteen,fifteen,eighteen 的拼写。
③表示整“十”的基数词:20~90 的基数词都以 ty 结尾。其中特别要注意 twenty,thirty,forty,fifty,ninety
的正确写法。
④21~99 的写法是:十位数加个位数,中间用连字符“”连接。如:26 twenty six;57 fifty-seven。
⑤101~999 的构成是:百位数与十位数之间用 and 连接。如:123 one hundred and twenty-three。
⑥hundred,thousand,million,billion 等词在表示确定数目的时候,直接前面加基数词;表示不确定数目时,
要在它们后面加 s,其后还要加 of。如:
three hundred students 三百名学生 thousands of students 成千上万的学生
基数词的用法
①表示数量的多少。
②表示年份。1988 读作 nineteen eighty eight
③表示时刻。7:00 读作 seven o'clock
8:30 读作 half past eight/eight thirty
3:05 读作 five past three/three five
5:48 读作 twelve to six/five forty eight
④表示顺序。单数名词+基数词,名词的第一个字母通常要大写。如:
Class Two,Room 12,No.3 Middle School
注:“单数名词+基数词”可转换成“the+序数词+单数名词”,此时名词的第一个字母不大写。如:Lesson Three
=the third lesson
⑤“数词+单数名词”相当于合成形容词作定语(如:a threeyearold girl)。合成形容词中的名词一定是单数。合
成形容词不能作表语,后面必须跟所修饰的名词。
⑥与表示时间、距离、长度的名词一起构成“数词+单位名词+形容词”,表示事物的形状、年代及距离等。
如:ten years old,3600 meters long
⑦“几十”的基数词复数形式可用来表示某人约几十岁或年代。如:
In his twenties,he rode a bike round the world.在他 20 岁时,他骑自行车环游世界。
The light was invented in the 1870s.灯泡是 19 世纪 70 年代发明的。
⑧与 another,more 连用时,表示在已有基础上再增加—定数量。如:
another three hours,two more cakes
5、序数词
序数词的构成
1 数词多数是由“基数词+th”构成。如:six →sixth,seven →seventh 等。
2 y 结尾的整十的数字,先将 y 改为 i,再加 eth。如:fifty →fiftieth,seventy →seventieth 等。
3 21 以上的非整十的数字,将末位数(即个位数)改为序数词,其他的位数仍用基数词。如:
twenty one →twenty first,thirty two →thirty second,two hundred and ninety eight →two hundred and ninety
eighth 等。
4 数的序数词属于特殊情况,而且这类词也常常是考点,大家要特别注意记忆。如:
one →first,two →second,three →third,five →fifth,eight →eighth,twelve →twelfth
注:fourteenth(第十四),fortieth(第四十),ninth(第九),nineteenth(第十九),ninetieth(第九十)
