Now, in this lesson I'm going to talk about singular and plural nouns.

現在，在這一課中，我將談論單數和複數名詞。

Okay. Singular means one.

好的，單數的意思是一個。

And plural means more than one or many.

而複數的意思是超過一個或許多。

Okay. So let's look at the board.

好的，那麼我們來看看董事會。

This part is showing singular nouns.

這一部分顯示的是單數名詞。

Okay, remember, singular means one.

好的，記住，單數意味著一個。

Okay.

好的。

So when the noun is singular, we put 'a' or 'an'.

是以，當名詞是單數的時候，我們把'a'或'an'放在一起。

So let's look.

所以我們來看看。

“a ring”

"一個戒指"

That means one ring. “a ring”

這意味著一個環。"一環"

“a dog” Again, one dog.

"一隻狗"，又是一隻狗。

“a dog”

"一隻狗"

“a teacher” One teacher.

"一個老師" 一個老師。

“a teacher”

"一個老師"

“an apple” “an apple”

"一個蘋果" "一個蘋果"

One apple.

一個蘋果。

“an egg” “an egg”

"一個雞蛋" "一個雞蛋"

One egg.

一個雞蛋。

So again, one…. noun is singular.

是以，再一次，one.... 名詞是單數。

Okay. Now over here, we have plural nouns.

好的。現在在這裡，我們有複數名詞。

Plural means more than one. Two, three, four, and so on.

複數的意思是超過一個。兩個、三個、四個，依此類推。

So, many. Okay.

所以，很多。好的。

So, when we have a plural noun, we have to,

是以，當我們有一個複數名詞時，我們必須。

don't forget, we have to put 's' or 'es'.

別忘了，我們要把 "s "或 "es "寫上。

Again, if there's more than one,

同樣，如果有一個以上的人。

if the noun is plural,

如果名詞是複數的話。

you have to put 's' or 'es'.

你必須輸入's'或'es'。

Now the nouns here, you just have to add an 's'.

現在這裡的名詞，你只需要加一個's'。

Okay, and we're going to go through them right now.

好的，我們現在就來看看它們。

“two rings”.

"兩個環"。

Okay, we had one ring. “a ring”.

好吧，我們有一個戒指。"一個環"。

Now we have “two rings.” With an 's'.

現在我們有了 "兩個環"。用一個's'。

Okay.

好的。

We had “a dog”.

我們有 "一隻狗"。

The plural is “three dogs”.

複數是 "三隻狗"。

Again, 's' “three dogs”

再次，'s'"三隻狗"

“a teacher” One teacher

"一位老師" 一位老師

“four teachers” “four teachers”

Don't forget the 's'.

不要忘記 "s"。

Okay, you must not forget that.

“an apple”. That's one apple.

"一個蘋果"。那是一個蘋果。

Then we have plural. “five apples”

然後我們有複數。"五個蘋果"

“five apples”

"五個蘋果"

Okay. And the last one.

好的。還有最後一個。

“an egg”. One egg.

"一個雞蛋"。一個雞蛋。

“six eggs”

"六個雞蛋"

不要忘記 "s"。"六個雞蛋"

Okay. I really need you to remember that.

好吧，我真的需要你記住這一點。

“two rings”

"兩環"

“three dogs”

"三隻狗"

“four teachers”

"四位老師"

“five apples”

"五個蘋果"

and “six eggs”.

Now we have some more nouns.

現在我們又有了一些名詞。

These nouns are a little bit different.

這些名詞有一點不同。

Uhhh, when they're singular it's the same.

呃，當他們是單數的時候，是一樣的。

You put 'a' or 'an' in front.

你把'a'或'an'放在前面。

But when you want to make them plural, you have to add 'es'.

但是當你想把它們變成複數時，你必須加上'es'。

Remember, I said, you can add 's' or 'es' to make a noun plural…more than one.

記住，我說過，你可以加's'或'es'來使名詞成為複數......不止一個。

So again, these nouns you have to add 'es'.

是以，同樣，這些名詞你必須加上'es'。

So let's go through them one more time.

是以，讓我們再看一遍它們。

Okay. So we have “a bus”.

好的，所以我們有 "一輛巴士"。

“a bus”

Okay, let's move on to the next part.

好了，讓我們進入下一個部分。

So, how do we know if we should put 's' or 'es' to make the noun plural?

那麼，我們如何知道我們應該把 "s "還是 "es "作為名詞的複數？

Well, for most nouns, you just have to put 's'.

嗯，對於大多數名詞來說，你只需要把's'放進去。

Okay, for most of them.

好吧，對他們中的大多數來說。

But, for some, you have to put 'es'. And how do we know?

但是，對有些人來說，你必須把 "es"。那我們怎麼知道呢？

Well…

嗯...

Let's look at the board. We have some nouns.

讓我們看一下黑板。我們有一些名詞。

The first one is “church”. Okay.

第一個是 "教堂"。好的。

“Church” ends in 'ch'.

"教會 "以 "ch "結尾。

So if the noun ends in 'ch', you have to put 'es'.

是以，如果名詞以'ch'結尾，你必須加上'es'。

Okay. So it becomes “churches”.

好的，所以它變成了 "教會"。

So again, if the noun ends in 'ch',

所以還是那句話，如果名詞以'ch'結尾。

add 'es' at the end to make it plural.

在末尾加上'es'，使之成為複數。

The same goes for the next word “brush”.

下一個詞 "刷 "也是如此。

You'll notice “brush” ends in 'sh'. Okay.

你會注意到 "刷子 "以 "sh "結尾。好的。

So if it ends in 'sh', same thing, we add 'es' at the end to make it plural.

是以，如果它以'sh'結尾，也是如此，我們在末尾加上'es'，使其成為複數。

Okay. The next word is 'fox'.

We have the letter 'x' at the end. Okay.

我們在最後有一個字母'x'。好的。

All nouns that end in 'x', we have to put 'es' to make it plural.

所有以'x'結尾的名詞，我們都要加上'es'，使其成為複數。

Okay, so, 'ch', 'sh', 'x'.

好吧，那麼，"ch"，"sh"，"x"。

If the noun ends with these, put 'es'.

如果名詞以這些結尾，就寫上'es'。

And the last one is “dress”.

而最後一個是 "衣服"。

Okay, we have 'ss' at the end.

好的，我們在最後有'ss'。

Same thing.

同樣，如果是以'ss'結尾，就放'es'。

Okay, so please, don't forget 'ch', 'sh', 'x', 'ss', we must put 'es' at the end.

好的，所以請不要忘記 "ch"、"sh"、"x"、"ss"，我們必須在最後加上 "es"。

Most of the other nouns we just add 's'.

其他大多數名詞我們只需加上's'。

Okay. Now we have some special nouns on this side.

all we have to do is add an 's' to make it plural.

我們所要做的就是加一個's'，使其成為複數。

“photos”. Okay.

"照片"。好的。

But these are special because we actually have to put 'es' at the end… to make them…plural.

但這些很特別，因為我們實際上必須在末尾加上'es'......以使它們成為......複數。

Okay. So we have “potatoes, tomatoes, volcanoes”.

好的，所以我們有 "洋芋、西紅柿、火山"。
