单数与复数
Incorrect English:
“one years,” “one minutes”
Correct English:
“one year”, “one minute
这里我们要说的是一年和一分钟,不能用复数形式,除此之外,既使是零,也应当用复数形式。
Examples:
“One year ago I graduated from high school.”
“In one year , the exchange student will speak fluent English.”
“My nephew is one year old.”
“Just hang on a minute. I’m almost ready.”
“I’ll see you in a minute.”
使用复数形式的范例:
“in America , people cannot drink alcohol until they are twenty-one years old.”
A: “How many years have you played the guitar?”
B: “Zero years. I don’t play the guitar.”
