9)复合形容词做定语时,其中的名词保持单数：a six?year?old boy,a two?hundred?page book
【例句】?A second doctor must confirm that these criteria ______ and the death must be re ported to the police department.

criteria是复数形式,故A,C,D都为错误选项.正确答案为B.

D) fifty minute's?
复合形容词用作定语时,其中的名词不变复数,故B不对.A不能做定语,D应为fifty minutes',正确答案为C.
可数名词与不可数名词的相互转化
可数名词与不可数名词在一定条件下可以转化.很多表示蔬菜、动物等的名词,一般来说是可数的,但是表示餐桌上的食品时,就转换为不可数名词.
【例如】?There are some chickens in the yard.(院子里有几只鸡.Would you like chicken or fish?(你喜欢吃鸡,还是吃鱼?
物质名词或抽象名词一般是不可数的,但用来表示若干类和数量之多时,可转化为可数名词,但往往意义有所变化,如：water(水)→waters(水域),sea(海)→seas(海域)?
【再如】?
Beer is a kind of nice drink in hot summer.
I had two beers and a big bowl of beef.
当抽象名词表示“某一种”或“某一方面”的抽象概念时,其前可加a/an.【例如】?
What he did showed a certain honesty which made me admire him.
