‎(1)单、复数同形。如：means，aircraft，deer，fish，Chinese，Japanese，sheep，works(工厂)，cattle。‎ ‎(2)合成名词的复数。如：boyfriend→boyfriends，gobetween→gobetweens(中间人)，grownup→grownups。‎

有些名词只用作单数，如：machinery，furniture，mankind，jewellery；有些名词既可用作单数又可用作复数，单数看作整体，复数看作集体的各个成员。如：The crew is large.船员人数很多(指整体)。The crew are all tired.船员们都累坏了(指个体)。‎ ‎2.不可数名词的数 ‎(1)一般说来抽象名词为不可数名词，但当抽象名词表示具体的东西时，可用作可数名词且词义发生变化，主要类型如下：‎ ‎①抽象名词表示具有某种特性、状态、感情情绪的人或事。‎ 抽象名词(不可数)‎ 具体化(个体名词，可数名词)‎ in surprise惊讶地 a surprise一件令人惊讶的事 win success获得成功 a success一个(件)成功的人(事)‎ win honor赢得荣誉 an honor引起尊敬的人(事)‎ failure失败 a failure失败者 by experience靠经验 an experience一次经历 with pleasure乐意 a pleasure乐事 ‎ ②抽象名词与a(an)连用，淡化了抽象概念，转化为似乎可以体验到的动作、行为或类别。‎ A knowledge of English is a must in international trade.‎ Would you like to have a walk (swim，bath，talk) with me？‎ It is a waste of time reading such a novel.‎ She made an apology to her mother for her wrong doings.‎ ‎(2)物质名词是不可数名词，但表示数量或种类之多时，可以用作可数名词。‎ 物质名词有形或数的相应物体时，有单、复数。如：some coffee一些咖啡，a coffee一杯咖啡，three coffees三杯咖啡，some drink一些饮料，a drink一杯饮料，three drinks三杯饮料，his hair他的头发，a few grey hairs几根白发，glass玻璃，a
