絶対複数名詞とは?
絶対複数名詞とは、単数形がなく、常に複数形で使われる名詞のことです。例えば:
pants (ズボン)
shoes (靴)
scissors (はさみ)
glasses (眼鏡)
shorts (ショートパンツ)
clothes (衣服)
thanks (感謝)
絶対複数名詞は直接数えることができず、数字と一緒に使うためには「pair of」や「set of」といった言葉を使って数えられる形にします。次の例を見てください:
I have a pair of shoes.
私は一足の靴を持っています。
Two sets of scissors were on the table.
二組のはさみがテーブルの上にありました。
絶対複数名詞は複数形の動詞や複数形の代名詞と一緒に使います。例えば:
My pants are not clean. I need to wash them.
私のズボンは汚れています。洗う必要があります。
