在英语中有些单数句不能变为复数句,如:Lily is fourteen.(莉莉十四岁。)His name is Jim.(他的名字叫吉姆。)等。但有些单数句可以变为复数句,在做句型转换题时,同学们经常会遇到这类题,那么怎样做才不会出错呢?同学们应注意下面的六要素:

1.单数主格人称代词要变成相应的复数主格人称代词,即I→we; you→you; she, he, it→they。 如:

She is a girl.→They are girls.

2. am, is要变为are。 如:

I'm a student. →We are students.

3.不定冠词a, an要去掉。如:

He is a boy. →They are boys.

4.普通单数名词要变为复数形式。如:

It is a cat. →They are cats.

5.指示代词this, that要变为these, those。如:

This is a book.→These are books.

6. man, woman作定语修饰可数名词时,要在 "数"上与被修饰名词保持一致。但其他名词修饰名词表示 "性质"时,不作变化。如:

He is a man doctor.→They are men doctors.

This is an apple tree.→They are apple trees.
