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。
