比如:
You need to answer question 1,2 and 3.
You need to answer questions 1, 2 and 3.
这两个句子哪个是正确的的呢?类似的情况还有:
We have to search Room 1027, 1028 and 1030.
We have to search Rooms 1027, 1028 and 1030.

谢谢老师!
我试着解答如下:
1. 先给你一个结论
如果重复使用相同的名词,名词的数就不是问题(这点你已经很清楚),以page为例:
正:page 1, page 2 and page 3
正:p1, p2 and p3
但如果后面两个 page,只保留第一个 page,则必须用复数(若缩略成p,则用pp;pp=pages):
正:pages 1, 2 and 3
正:pp 1, 2 and 3
误:page 1, 2 and 3
误:p 1, 2 and 3
除page外的,其他情况也类似,下面各例中的名词也要用复数:
rooms 107, 219 and 523
chapters 2, 5 and 10
buses 112, 408 and 126
lines 3, 8 and 12
questions 5, 6, 9 and 12
exercises 2, 3, 8 and 10
parts 1, 2 and 4
ages 15, 18 and 22
numbers 15, 16, 28 and 33
paragraphs 5, 6 and 7
floors 12, 15 and 18
sections 2, 4 and 5
meanings 2, 3 and 4
你可能问我:有没有权威的语法著作有此说明,应该有,但我一下没有找到,给我时间我应该可以找到依据。
2. 为什么有的网页上用了单数
回答很简单,那些网页的用法不规范。这就好比一个外国人学中文,他使用的“参考标准”不是中国人用的教材或词典,而只是中国人写的网页,你觉得这里面的语言表达100%靠得住吗?你看看“百度知道”就清楚了,不说它的答案不一定对,用以解答问题的句子也不一定符合语言规范。至于国外的网站情况也一样。由于现在已是一个全媒体时代,人人都是媒体,但并非每个人的语言表达都是规范的。关于这个问题,我建议你看看下面这个链接:

解答如下:
问题1,问题2 和问题3的英语表达

【2】You need to answer questions 1, 2 and 3.【错误】
【3】You need to answer questions 1, question 2 and question 3【正确】
备注:question 1=the first question; question 2= the second question; question 3=the third question
1027房间,1028房间和1030房间的英语表达
【1】We have to search Room 1027, 1028 and 1030.【错误】
【2】We have to search Rooms 1027, 1028 and 1030.【错误】
【3】We have to search Rooms 1027, Room 1028 and Room 1030.【正确】
备注:Room 1027=the 1027th Room; Room 1028=the 1028th Room; Room 1030=the 1030th Room
