复数名词是用来表示不止一个人、动物、地点、事物或想法的词。一旦你知道要找什么，单数和复数名词的区别就很简单了。这里，我们来看看单数和复数名词，提供单数名词的例子和复数名词的例子来帮助你在看到复数名词时识别它们。
什么是复数名词
就语法而言，答案相对简单。复数名词是指有一个以上的人、动物、地方、事物或想法。当你谈论一个或多个事物时，你使用的是复数名词。当你写多于一个的东西时，你通常使用同一个词，只是在后面加一个s、es或ies。这条规则也有一些例外，但不是很多——其中最好的一个就是，一只驼鹿（moose）是一只驼鹿，而一群驼鹿仍然是驼鹿。
单数和复数名词
名词的单数和复数之间的区别很容易看出。当一个名词只表示一个时，它就是单数名词。当名词表示不止一个时，它是复数。
