　　三、分数词的构成

　　分数的分子用基数词表示，分母用序数词表示，若分子大于1，分母需用复数。

　　two-thirds（2/3），one-third（1/3）， nine-tenths （9/10）， five-twelfths（5/12）。

　　特殊表达法有：one half （1/2），a quarter （1/4）， three quarters （3/4） .

　　考试重点

　　基数词可以和其他词一起构成合成形容词，在句子中作定语，名词不能加s.

　　数词部分需特别注意dozen， hundred， million， billion 等词。表示具体数字时，这些词用单数形式，表示不具体的数字时，须用dozens of， hundreds of 这类的结构。

　　I want three dozen of these.

　　He has been there dozens of times.

　　当数词与名词及其他词构成合成形容词时，合成形容词中间若用连字符，则其中的名词须用单数形式。
