在中考单项选择试题中，除了时态，名词的考查频率也较高。一般考查以下几点： 

　　一、 可数名词与不可数名词
　　在可数名词与不可数名词上一般出现这样几类，（1）分辨是哪一类名词，并根据结论做选择。（2）可数名词复数的不规则变化。（3）不可数名词的量化表达。所以，考生首先要能够明确哪些是可数名词，哪些是不可数名词。其次，还要知道可数名词的复数的变化规则。可数名词的变化规则一般是在单词后面加-s 或-es，如：
　　1. desk---desks bed---beds piano---pianos
　　　hat---hats bag---bags photo---photos
　　2. bus---buses box---boxes
　　　watch---watches brush---brushes
　　3. t omato---tomatoes potato---potatoes
　　　hero---heroes Negro---Negroes
　　4. leaf---leaves knife---knives
　　5. baby---babies family---families 

　　另外，还要记住一些特殊的名词的变化形式，如：
　　Chinese---Chinese 　　　　Japanese---Japanese
　　Englishman---Englishmen 　Frenchman---Frenchmen
　　Russian---Russians 　　　　American---Americans
　　German¹ --- Germans²
　　child---children foot---feet
　　man---men 　woman---women
　　tooth---teeth 　goose --- geese
　　deer---deer　 sheep---sheep 

　　还要掌握不可数名词的量化表达有： a piece of、a bag of、a bottle of、a cup of、a glass of 。

　　另外，大家应注意：单数集合名词作主语时谓语动词“数的”变化：单数集合名词如class, police³, family, school, group, team等。尽管形式上是单数，意义上都是复数，因此，一般要与复数谓语动词连用，例如： 
　　Class Five have a foreign⁴ friend.
　　五班有一位外国朋友。（这里的五班指五班的同学的。）
　　His family are good to me. 他的家人对我很好。（很显然，这里的family指家庭成员。）

　　当上述集合名词着重指“整体”时， 意义上则是单数，因此，要与单数谓语动词连用。例如：
　　Our school team often plays well in our city.
　　我们的校队经常在我们市踢得很好。（这里的team 指整个队，但意义上仍为单数，故谓语动词用plays. 

　　二、 名词所有格
　　名词所有格有两种形式：一是加's，一种是用of来表示。一般情况下，指某人的某物用's表示，而指某物的什么用of 短语来表示。另外，要注意凡是以s结尾的名词或规则名词的复数，不能直接加's，而应该加-' 即可。例如，boys' clothes girls' dresses。 不过，注意例外情况，例如， the boss's handwriting，其中the boss's 的-'s不可省略。因为在英语中，如果以-s 或-ss 结尾的名词不是复数复数形式，那么其名词所有格仍加-'s。那么你会说“琼斯的小汽车”吗？对，Jones's car。
