A Chinese name includes a family name and a given name. Most family names date back to ancient times. They are usually from the names of a village, a state, or an official position. For example, Qi( 齐 )comes from the state name Qi, and Ouyang(欧阳)is the name of a township. English names also have two parts: given names and family names. Different from Chinese names, the order is “given name(s) + family name”. Sometimes, people have second or third given names to honour a family member or for other purposes. English family names are usually from where the family lived, the way they looked, or the kind of work they did. For example, a family living with many trees and plants might take the name Green. If they had dark hair, they were called the Blacks or the Browns. And a person who had a good voice was named Singer. A given name, either in Chinese or in English, carries the hope of a family for a baby. For example, “Yong” in Chinese and “Andy” in English both mean “brave”; “Li” in Chinese and “Lily” in English “beautiful”. 54UNIT 4 Chinese name English name Order family name + given name Origin of family where they lived, what they names looked like, what work they did Meanings the hope of a family for a baby the hope of a family for a baby Examples 2 Given or family names?

possessive pronouns） 表示“你（们）”“我（们）”“他（们）／她（们）／它（们）”的代词叫作人称代 词。人称代词有人称、数和格的变化。表示所有关系的代词叫作物主代词，它分为形容词性物 主代词和名词性物主代词。 人称代词和物主代词 主格 宾格 形容词性物主代词 名词性物主代词 第一 单数 I我 me我 my我的 mine 我的 人称 复数 we 我们 us我们 our 我们的 ours 我们的 第二 单数 you 你 you 你 your 你的 yours 你的 人称 复数 you 你们 you 你们 your 你们的 yours你们的 he 他 him 他 his 他的 his 他的 单数 she 她 her 她 her 她的 hers 她的 第三 it 它 it 它 its 它的 its 它的 人称 they他们、 them他们、 their他们的、她们 theirs他们的、她 复数 她们、它们 她们、它们 的、它们的 们的、它们的 1．人称代词主格在句子中作主语。例如： I am in Grade 7 now. It looks like a book. We often go to the library together. 2．形容词性物主代词相当于形容词，在句子中主要作定语，修饰后面的名词。例如： His favourite subject is art. My new school looks beautiful. 161可数名词与不可数名词 （Countable and uncountable nouns） 名词是表示人、事物、地点或抽象概念名称的词。名词按其是否可以计数分为可数名词和 不可数名词。 1．可数名词 可数名词指可以计数，即其前面可以用不定冠词a (an) 和数词的名词，以及其他可有复数 形式的名词，一般不可以单独使用。例如：a desk、an egg。 名词复数形式的变化规则 构成方法 例词 一般情况下，在单数形式后面加-s。-s storybook—storybooks, letter—letters, 在清辅音后读/s/；在浊辅音和元音后读 dog—dogs, word—words, cat—cats /z/ 以s、x、ch、sh结尾的名词，加-es。-es class—classes, box—boxes, 读/ɪz/ watch—watches, wish—wishes 以元音字母加y结尾的名词，直接在词 boy—boys, monkey—monkeys 尾加-s。-s读/z/ 以辅音字母加y结尾的名词，将-y改为 library—libraries, country—countries, -i，然后加-es。-es读/ɪz/ city—cities radio—radios, photo—photos, kilo—kilos, 以o结尾的，有的加-s，有的加-es。-s piano—pianos, zoo—zoos, tomato—tomatoes, 和-es读/z/ potato—potatoes, hero—heroes 以f、fe结尾的名词，去掉-f或-fe，加 thief—thieves, wife—wives, -ves。-ves读/vz/ life—lives, knife—knives 不规则变化：man—men, woman—women, child—children, tooth—teeth, foot—feet 有些名词的单数与复数同形：sheep—sheep, Chinese—Chinese, Japanese—Japanese 2．不可数名词 不可数名词指不可以计数，即其前面不能用不定冠词a (an)和数词的名词，以及没有复数 形式的名词，它们可以用much、a lot of、some、little、a little等修饰。不可数名词作主语时， 谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。例如： 162There is some bread on the table. We have a lot of homework today. There is much water in the bottle. He does little housework at home. I’d like some milk for breakfast. Wisdom begins in wonder. 不可数名词的数量可以用适当的量词来表示，常用的量词有：a piece of（一片；一张）、 a cup of（一茶杯）、a glass of（一玻璃杯）、a bottle of（一瓶）等。其结构为“数词+量词 （普通名词）+ of +不可数名词”，其单复数变化就体现在量词上。例如： I have a piece of bread. Would you like a cup of tea? There are three glasses of orange juice on the desk. Two bottles of water are in the box. 注意： 有些不可数名词作可数名词时，表示不同的意义。例如： iron 铁—an iron 熨斗 tea 茶—a tea一杯茶/茶点 water 水—waters 邻海/近海 food 食物—foods（几种）食物 glass 玻璃—a glass 玻璃杯—glasses 眼镜 动词 be（Verb be） be作系动词时一般表示“是”。在句子中，根据主语的人称与数的不同，be 有不同的形 式。在人称代词I的后面用am；人称代词第三人称单数（he、she、it）或可数名词单数、不可 数名词后面用is；其他情况用are。例如： I’m from China. He is tall and thin. She’s twelve years old. It is a table. The water is hot. The shirt is too small. Where are you from? 163Where are they? Many people are on holiday in August. Li Ming and Jack are at the supermarket. 注意： am、is、are均有缩略形式。例如： I am = I’m he is = he’s she is = she’s it is = it’s they are = they’re 含有am、is和are的句子变为否定句时，要在它们后面加not（可简写为isn’t、aren’t）。 例如： I am not a teacher. He is not in the classroom. They are not markers. 动词 have（Verb have） have作实义动词时一般表示“有”，它的第三人称单数是has。例如： I have many friends at school. We have two young people with us. She has black and short hair. Different people have different hobbies. have用于此义作谓语的句子变为一般疑问句、否定句时，通常借助助动词do或does。例如： Do you have a dictionary? Does he have big eyes? Do they have blond hair? He doesn’t have any coffee. I don’t have an eraser. 也可直接用have，但比较正式。例如： Have you any money? I’m sorry. I haven’t any idea. 现在进行时（Present continuous tense） 现在进行时的基本用法是表示现在或现阶段正在进行的动作。 1．现在进行时的构成 现在进行时的构成为：be (am、is、are) + v-ing（动词原形加-ing）。 2．现在进行时的句式 肯定句：主语+ am/is/are + v-ing +其他。例如： We are going on a picnic. My mum is making a salad. I’m putting the food and drinks on a tablecloth. 164否定句：主语+ am/is/are + not + v-ing +其他。例如： I am not talking. The child is not crying. They are not making dumplings. 一般疑问句：Am/Is/Are +主语+ v-ing +其他。例如： Are they having fun? Is it sleeping? Am I laughing? 特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词+一般疑问句。例如： What are you doing? What is Rover doing? 3．现在分词的变化规则 构成方法 例词 一般情况下在原形词尾加-ing go—going, eat—eating 以不发音的e结尾的词，去掉-e，再加-ing make—making, have—having 以重读闭音节结尾，词尾只有一个辅音字母（x begin—beginning, swim—swimming, 除外）的动词原形，先双写这个辅音字母，再 run—running, sit—sitting 加-ing 以ie结尾的词，变-ie为-y，再加-ing die—dying, lie—lying 4．现在进行时的一般用法 （1）表示此时此刻正在进行或发生的动作，通常与now、at the moment等时间状语连用， 也可以不用时间状语。例如： The bear is sleeping now. What’s the bear doing now? Is it raining heavily? （2）表示现阶段正在进行的动作（说话当时不一定在进行），可以与this week、these days等时间状语连用，也可以不用时间状语。例如： She is making a new coat for me this week. I’m looking after Zoe these days. They are preparing for the Christmas party these days.
