（1）名詞單數(shù)加s，若名詞單數(shù)以s結(jié)尾，則所有格可加s，也可直接加。

This is my uncles bedroom.

這是我叔叔的臥室。

That is Dennis backpack.

那是丹尼斯的背包。

你的弟弟多大了？

—Hes only five （years old）.

他只有5歲。

—How old are you？

你多大年齡了？

注意：在講英語(yǔ)的國(guó)家，可以詢問(wèn)孩子的年齡，但對(duì)于成年人一般不直接問(wèn)及年齡，尤其是女士。問(wèn)女士的年齡被認(rèn)為是不禮貌的，而且對(duì)方也不予回答。
