Question

请问:male female是单还是复数?我总记不住单词是否可数,是单是复.怎么办?

Answer 1

male 和female两词比较特殊,即可为单数,也可为复数,如下：
以male为例：
Men and boys are sometimes referred to as males when they are being considered as a type.
He was very anxious to prove he was a red-blooded male.
但需注意的是复数males/females前不要加冠词the.
可数与否基本是有规律的,排除掉那些物质名词water等,还有一些特殊的,为不可数.把特殊的记住即可.
