Work + Homework + Works | Using Correct English Vocabulary

Guys, did you do your English homeworks?

同学们，你们的英语作业做完了吗？

Wait, what? That's not right.

等等，什么？那是不对的。

Hello, guys. My name is F@nny.

大家好。我的名字是 F@ny。

And in this video, I'm gonna talk to you about

在这个视频中，我将与您讨论

a very common speaking and spelling mistake in English.

一个非常常见的

英语口语和拼写错误。

And we're going to focus on the words, ‘work’ and ‘homework’.

我们将重点关注

“工作”

和“家庭作业”这两个词。

So the first thing you need to know, When the word ‘work’ is a verb, it can

所以你需要知道的第一件事是，

当“work”这个词是动词时，

take an ‘s’, if it's the third-person singular.

如果它是第三人称单数，它可以带“s”。

So you will say, ‘I work hard.’ ‘He works hard.’

所以你会说：“我努力工作。”

'他工作很努力。'好的？

Okay? Very common, very normal verb, okay?

很常见、很正常的动词，好吗？

So it takes an ‘S’ with the third-person singular.

所以第三人称单数需要加“S”。

That's when ‘work’ is a verb.

那时“工作”是一个动词。

Now when you say, ‘I have a lot of work.’

现在，当你说“我有很多工作要做”时。

‘work’, in this case, is not a verb. It's a noun.

在这种情况下，“工作”不是一个动词。这是一个名词。

And you have to know.

你必须知道。

When work is a noun, it does not take an ‘s’, because there's no plural.

当work是名词时，

它不需要's'，

因为没有复数。

You cannot say, ‘I have a lot of works.’

你不能说，“我有很多作品。”

It’s always singular, because it's an uncountable noun.

它总是单数，因为它是不可数名词。

Okay? So, ‘I have a lot of work’

好的？所以，“我有很多工作”

Or you could say, ‘I don't have much work.’, Okay? Because it's uncountable.

或者你可以说，“我没有太多工作。”，

好吗？因为它是不可数的。

现在它可以采用复数形式，

Now it can take a plural form, but only if it means not mental exertion like

但前提是它不意味着

‘I have a lot of work.’

像“我有很多工作”这样的脑力消耗。

But if it means a series of art pieces or literature pieces.

但如果它意味着一系列艺术作品或文学作品。

And that's the only meaning of the word 'work' that allows you to use the plural form.

这是“工作”一词

允许您使用复数形式的唯一含义。

So for example, you can say, ‘The works of Picasso.’

例如，您可以说“毕加索的作品”。

‘The works of Picasso’ meaning ‘The paintings of Picasso’, okay?

“毕加索的作品”的

意思是“毕加索的画作”，好吗？

So art pieces, that's not the same as ‘I have a lot of work.’

所以艺术作品

与“我有很多工作”不同。

Okay?

好的？

Now, when you use the compound noun, ‘homework’,

现在，当您使用复合名词“homework”时，

it's exactly the same as 'work' as an uncountable noun.

它与作为不可数名词的“work”完全相同。

It's uncountable, okay?

是不可数的好吗？

So when you say, ‘I have a lot of homeworks.’, it's wrong.

所以当你说“我有很多作业”时，

这是错误的。

不能使用复数形式。

You cannot use the plural form. It’s uncountable. You have to say, ‘I have a lot of homework.’

是不可数的。

你必须说，“我有很多作业。”

If you really want to emphasize the fact that you have many things to do at home,

如果你真的想强调

你在家有很多事情要做，

you can use another word and say, ‘assignment’.

你可以用另一个词，说“作业”。

You can say, 'I have many assignments.’

你可以说：“我有很多任务。”

It's the same as 'homework', but it is countable. Okay?

它与“homework”相同，但它是可数的。

好的？简而言之，“work”作为动词，

So in a nutshell, ‘work’ as a verb, just does take an ‘s’.

只需带一个“s”即可。

If it's the third-person singular.

如果是第三人称单数的话。

‘work’ as a noun is uncountable, unless it means pieces of art or pieces of literature.

“work”作为名词是不可数的，

除非它指的是艺术品或文学作品。

And the word ‘homework’ is also uncountable. No plural form.

“作业”这个词也是不可数的。

没有复数形式。

Okay, guys. I really hope you understand that. I hope it has helped.

好吧，伙计们。我真的希望你能理解这一点。

我希望它有所帮助。

Please make sure to watch the other videos. And as we say in French, ‘Au Revoir!’

请务必观看其他视频。

正如我们用法语所说，“Au Revoir！”
