  • 一、由‘数词+单数量词+形容词’可以构成一个临时的合成形容词,用来修饰名词;一般说来,这种合成形容词中间的连字符是必要的,但是也有不用连字符的,不过是属于不规范的英语,如:

    He paid a visit to me with an eight-year-old girl.

    He is a 20-year-old boy.

    It is a five-mile-far distance from here.

    二、‘数词+复数量词+形容词”通常用来做表语,表示主语的实际年龄、长度、重量、距离等,如:

    The boy is eight years old.

    The village is five miles far from here.
