1. 名词复数构成

可数名词一般有两种形式：单数和复数。构成名词复数的方法：规则变化和不规则变化。

（2）名词复数的不规则变化

少数名词构成复数的变化是不规则的。例如：

ox - oxen公牛

The musk oxen have recently given birth.

麝牛最近生了幼仔。

结构分析：The musk oxen是主语，have recently given是谓语（recently是状语），现在完成时，birth是宾语。

但German德国人构成复数为规则变化Germans。

Germans are often described as being very serious and rigid.

德国人被形容成是非常严肃、刻板的人。

结构分析：Germans是主语，are often described是被动式谓语（often是状语），as being very serious and rigid是主语补语。
