Eg:Beijing is the capital of China.
② 有时专有名词可以转化成普通名词,转化后它具有普通名词的特性,可以在其面前加不定冠词“a” ,也可以在其词尾加表示复数形式的“s”。 Eg:A Mr Green called just now.
③ 姓氏是专有名词,一般情况下,没复数形式,前面也不能加定冠词“the”。但如果姓氏前面加定冠词“the”,并后面加上“s”时。则表示“一家人”(其谓语用复数)。 Eg: The Blacks are having dinner.
④ 有些专有名词表面上看是复数形式,但实际使用中谓语动词通常用单数形式。 Eg: The United States is in America. 并列连词:and, but, so Practice
