三、名词作定语
用法
例词
名词作定语时,一般用单数

以man、woman作定语的复合名词,两部分都变为复数形式
women doctors, men teachers
一些名词本身以s结尾,作定语时不变
sports meeting, clothes shop
名词作定语,即用一个名词修饰另外一个名词,主要用来说明被修饰名词的物质构成、用途等。
1. 物质构成,如:a steel bridge, paper money
2. 用途,如:a coffee cup
3. 时间,如:an evening paper
4. 地点,如:city life, country life, country music
5. 种类,如:office work
6. 内容,如:body language, the film industry
四、名词的格
1. -'s所有格
(1)用and连接的并列名词的所有格要分两种情况,表示各自的所属关系时,要分别在并列名词后加's 或';表示共有的所属关系时,只在最后一个名词后加's或'。
Tom's and Jim's rooms 汤姆和吉姆(各自)的房间
Tom and Jim's room 汤姆和吉姆(共有)的房间
(2)表示店铺、办公室或某人的家时,名词所有格后被修饰的名词一般省略。
at the barber's在理发店 at the teacher's在老师办公室
2. of所有格
表示无生命的事物的名词通常用of所有格表示所有关系,名词短语或有定语修饰的有生命的名词也常用of所有格。

the name of the girl over there那边那个女孩的名字
3. 双重所有格
指“名词+of+名词所有格”或“名词+of+名词性物主代词”。
