book是可数名词吗
book是可数名词
book这个词应该是相当的可数(countable).
它在作“图书”(a set of printed pages that are held together in a cover so that you can read them)、“笔记本”(a set of sheets of paper held together in a cover so that you can write on them)、“册/集”(a set of things such as stamps,matches,or tickets,held together inside a paper cover)的时候,是绝对的可数.
有时候,必须要用复数,也是可数的表现,比如:当表示“account”的时候(written records of the financial accounts of a business),多用复数,e.g.An accountant will examine the company's books.
还有一些固定搭配,也可以体现book是可数的:
by the book:exactly according to rules or instructions
a closed book:a subject that you do not understand or know anything about
但也有一些情况,他并没有配冠词,而是单独使用,非常少见,例如:
in my book:【spoken】said when giving your opinion:
e.g.In my book,nothing is more important than football.
bring somebody to book:to punish someone for breaking laws or rules,especially when you have been trying to punish them for a long time:
e.g.War criminals must be brought to book.
所以,总的说来,book是比较确定的可数名词.
few的复数是什么
little
a little
few
a few
few,a few的区别;1、意思不同:few:不多,很少。a few:几个,很多,一点点。2、用法不同:few作主语时谓语动词须用复数形式;a few:用法通常指“与集体、人或活动有关的一系列行动、态度”。3、侧重点不同:few用于可数名词,否定用法;a few一点点,用于修饰可数名词,肯定用法。
一、few和a few的区别
1、强调的内容不同
few的意思是“很少的…,几乎没有的…”,表示“虽然有,但很少”,强调“少”, a few的意思是“少数的…,几个…,一些…”,表示“虽然少,但还有”,强调“有”。
2、意思的相反
few表示否定的意思; a few表示肯定之意,两者之间的差别主要是主观上的,而不是实际数字上的差别。

little后面加单数不可数名词。作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词。a little后面加单数不可数名词。表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”。
1little和a little的区别
一、读音不同
little读音:英[ˈlɪtl]美[ˈlɪtl]
a little读音:英[əˈlitl]美[eˈlɪtl]
二、用法不同
1、Little的用法
(1)Little用在肯定句中,表示无和没有,本身带有否定用意,所以全句是否定句。
例句:have a little tired,a little hungry.
翻译:我有一点累我有点饥饿。
(2)Little作状语用于句首时,后面主、谓语要颠倒。
例句:Little does he care whether rabbits live or die.(倒装语序)
翻译:他极少关心兔子的死活。
2、A little用在肯定句中,表示有一点儿,全句还是肯定句。
例句:I have little tired,little hungry.
翻译:我不累我不饥饿的。
三、表示的意义不同
1、little表示否定意义,表示数量“很少”或“几乎没有”;而a little则表示肯定意义,表示量虽不多,但毕竟还是有一点。例句:
1、Early people had very little effect on the environment.
翻译:早期人类对环境没有多少影响。
2、lend the cornflour to a smooth paste with a little cold water.
翻译:加入少量的凉水,将玉米粉搅拌成均匀的糊状。
2little、a little、few和a few的区别
1.few、a few接可数名词复数,little、a little接不可数名词。
2.A few、a little表示肯定意思:有一些,有一点;
3.Few、little表示否定意思:没有一些,没有一点。
(a) few与(a) little的用法区别
1. few和a few后接可数名词的复数形式。few表示数量很少或几乎没有,强调“少”,含有否定意义;a few表示数量虽然少但毕竟还有,强调“有”,含有肯定意义:
Few people like such things.
没什么人喜欢那样的东西。
A few people like such things.
有少数人喜欢那样的东西。
2. little和 a little之后接不可数名词,其区别跟 few和 a few之间的区别相似:
He knows little English.
他几乎不懂英语。
He knows a little English.
他懂一点点英语。
a little与a few的区别和联系
1、联系:a little与a few,都有不定冠词a,汉语意思均为“有一点儿;有一些”,此时相当于“some”。例如:
We have a little milk, would you like to drink?
我们还有一些牛奶,你想喝吗?
Does he want a few new books?
他想要一些新书吗?
2、区别: a little修饰不可数名词,a few修饰可数名词复数。如:
a little ice-cream/salad/chicken/sugar一点儿冰激凌/沙拉肉/糖
a few students/pencils/trousers/fish一点儿学生/铅笔/裤子/鱼
(2)a little可以修饰形容词、副词的原形和比较级,此时相当于a bit与kind of,而a few无次用法。如:
I am a little/a bit/kind of fat,so I want to lose weight.我有一点胖,所以我想减肥。
She is a little/a bit outgoing than Tina.她比缇娜更外向一点。
(3)前加否定词时,not a little意为“很;非常”,相当于very/very much。如:
He isn't a little hungry.他非常饿。
这就是little与few前带a的联系、区别和用法。

妈妈,我需要一些笔记本,我的书包里几乎没有了。
(2)都有形容词且都有比较级和最高级。few的比较级和最高级分别为fewer与fewest,little的比较级和最高级为less与least。
如:The fewer cars, the less pollution.
小汽车越少,污染越少。
(3)little与few前常用否定词no而不是not,而a little与a few前用no。如:
I have no little homework to do.我有太多的家庭作业要做。
2、区别:little后跟不可数名词;few后跟可数名词的复数。
如: Little orange juice/water
几乎没有橙汁/水
There are few girls in the classroom, they are in the playground.教室里几乎没有女孩子,他们都在操场上。

虽然都表示“少”,但
(1)few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的.
