名詞の複数形 - 英文法を覚えよう

【名詞の単数形と複数形】

英語の名詞には、単数形と複数形があります。単数形は1つの物事を表し、複数形は2つ以上の物事を表します。
一般的に、名詞を複数形にするには、次のようにします。

単数形にsを付ける (例:book → books、cat → cats)

ただし、一部の名詞には、上記以外の規則で変化する名詞や不規則に変化する名詞があります。

【規則変化する名詞】

1. 単数形にsを付ける

大半の名詞は、語尾にsをつけることで複数形に変えることができます。
以下は、規則的に複数形を形成する名詞の例です。

book → books
car → cars
cat → cats
dog → dogs
flower → flowers
house → houses
movie → movies
pencil → pencils
table → tables

これらの名詞は、単数形にsを付けるだけで複数形になります。

2. s, ss, sh, ch, o, x で終わる名詞

これらの名詞は、単数形に -es を追加して複数形を作成します。たとえば、以下のような単数形と複数形の例があります。

bus → buses
kiss → kisses
brush → brushes
watch → watches
potato → potatoes
box → boxes

ただし、oで終わる名詞の中には、複数形に -es を追加する代わりに、-sを追加するものもあります。たとえば、以下のような単数形と複数形の例があります。

photo → photos
piano → pianos

3. 子音字+y で終わる名詞

これらの名詞は、yをiに変えてから-esを追加して複数形を作成します。たとえば、以下のような単数形と複数形の例があります。

baby → babies
city → cities
party → parties

ただし、母音字(a, e, i, o, u)で終わる名詞の中には、yをそのままにして-sを追加するものもあります。
たとえば、以下のような単数形と複数形の例があります。

toy → toys
key → keys

4. f, fe で終わる名詞

これらの名詞は、fやfeをvに変え、最後に-esを追加して複数形を作成します。たとえば、以下のような単数形と複数形の例があります。

leaf → leaves
knife → knives
wolf → wolves
wife → wives
half → halves

以上が、規則変化する名詞の例です。

【不規則変化する名詞】

不規則変化する名詞は、不規則変化する名詞をそれぞれ覚えるしかありません。
以下は、不規則変化する名詞の例です。

child → children
foot → feet
person → people
tooth → teeth
woman → women

これらの名詞は、頻繁に使用されるため、正確に覚えることが重要です。

【単数形と複数形が同じ名詞】

最後に、単数形と複数形が同じ名詞があります。
これらの名詞は、単数形と複数形が同じため、複数形を明確にするために文脈が重要になります。
以下は、単数形と複数形が同じ名詞の例です。

deer → deer
fish → fish
moose → moose
sheep → sheep

これらの名詞は、単数形と複数形が同じため、文脈によって判断する必要があります。
たとえば、「I saw a deer in the woods」と言った場合、それは1匹の鹿を表しています。
一方、「I saw two deer in the woods」と言った場合、それは2匹の鹿を表しています。
