名词 英语语法分为词法和句法，分别是研究词类和句子的。英语共有十大词类，他们分别是名词、动词、冠词、代词、数词、形容词、副词、介词、连词、感叹词。我们会在以后的课程中一一学习。对名词的考查，通常会与主谓一致、名词的修饰词（有的只可以修饰可数名词，有的只可以修饰不可数名词）等结合起来进行考查。名词的辨析、可数与不可数、同一名词的可数与不可数的不同意义，名词的一些习惯表达法都是考查的要点。本讲重点对名词几个常见考点进行剖析。 1.名词的意义：从英语语法角度讲，表示人物、时间、地点、事物或抽象概念的词我们通常都称其为名词。例如chairman Shanghai milk physics 等。 2.名词的种类：总体上我们将英语中的名词分为 两大类专有名词 普通名词
专有名词 个体名词可数名词 名词集体名词 普通名词物质名词 抽象名词不可数名词 (A)专有名词：表示人或物所特有的名字，通常是人名、地名、书 报刊名、团体组织、机关名称等。例如Tom ,Beijing University , the United Nations. 专有名词的第一个字母要大写。 (B)普通名词：表示一类人、事物、物质或是表示一个抽象概念的 名词。例如 worker ,TV pen 等,普通名词可以分为以下四类： (1)个体名词：表示单个的人或单个的事物的名词。Chair car (2) 集体名词：表示一群人或一些事物的总称的名词。Class army police 由于本身就是复数意义，通常不再通过加-s变成复数，但是在主谓一致关系中要看是否表示整体，如果强调的是组成 该集体的个体概念时谓语动词用复数，如果表示整体要用单数，具 体情况见主谓一致部分的讲解。
