明白抽象名词的定义,它们往往是指人类的精神生活方面的活动而言的一类词汇.而这个问题的难点,在于抽象名词中的可属与不可数的如何识别和记忆上,因为,它们还会转化成可属名词.比如：one difficulty after another 是可数的,而march with difficulty又是不可数的了.怎么办?答案是,只有单独区别记忆.
其次,你要了解高中范围内,常用的抽象名词有哪些,而且,有什么规律.
然后将前两者的经验综合理解,你基本上就能处理抽象名词的问题了.
高中范围常用的不可数名词不多,仅列如下,
1.progress 2.love 3.democracy 4.relation 5.work 6.happiness 7.information 8.enthusiasm 9.power 10.necessity 11.beauty 12.youth
13.light 14.experience 15.talk 16.translation 17.space 18.room
19.astonishment 20.envy 21.harm 22.honesty 23.cooperation 24.neglect
抽象名词一般是不可数的,但当它前后有修饰语表示"某一种"或"某一方面"的抽象概念时,其前可加a/ an.例如：
A good map would be a help.
It was a relief to sit down.
He had a good knowledge of mathematics.
某些物质名词或抽象名词用作复数时,词义往往起变化.例如：
Light（光）travels faster than sound.
The lights（灯）are on.
He is a teacher of five years' experience（经验）.
He is relating to us his experiences（经历）as an explorer.
