英语语法。Fine quality as well as low price will help push the sales of your products

英语语法。Fine quality as well as low price will help push the sales of your products 请各位大哥大姐告诉小弟,为什么sale后面要加S啊,,谢谢。

答:因为英语中的名词有可数和不可数之分。可数名词有单数和复数之分。可数名词的复数形式多在单数形式后加s。

名词的可数和不可数性不是一成不变的。很多抽象、物质名词都有两重性。sale表示抽象的概念“销售”时,是不可数名词,但是表示具体的不同产品的“销售量、额”时,又是可数的。这里就是这种情况。这种问题可能通过查词典加以自我解决:

sale

/seIl; sel/ n

1 [U] selling or being sold 卖; 出售; 销售

the sale of cars, clothes, machinery 汽车、 服装、 机器的销售

The money was raised by the sale of raffle tickets. 这笔款是通过出售购物彩券筹集的.

2

(a) [C] act of selling sth 卖; 出售; 销售

I haven't made a sale all week. 我整个星期没有卖出东西.

She gets 10 commission on each sale. 她每出售一批货可得10英镑的佣金.

(b) sales [pl]

amount sold 销售额; 销售量

vast sales of ice-cream in the hot weather 天热时冰激凌的巨大销量

Sales are up (ie More goods have been sold) this month. 本月销售量增加.

3 [C] (in a shop, etc) occasion when goods are sold at lower prices than usual (商店等的)廉售, 贱卖

hold an end-of-season sale 举办季末大减价

the January sales, ie when many shops reduce their prices 元月大减价

buy goods at/in the sales 减价期间购物

从上面例子可见,这里的sales是销售量,还必须用复数形式。

问题补充:

We are satisfied with the quality of your samples, so the business depends entirely on your price.各位大哥大姐,还有这一句,depend后面也加了一个S是什么原因啊。

答:你这个问题让我感到奇怪。时态一致,主语为第三人称单数时,一般现在时的谓语动词用S形,你(应该是高中生了)会不知道?

So后面的这个句子的主语是the business ,是抽象名词,作第三人称单数的主语看等,一般现在时态,depend当然要用S形了。
