量词的使用:由于英语中名词分可数与不可数,量词的使用也有区别:修饰可数名词(a) few / fewer / fewest many / more / most a great (good) many many a a number of the number of既可修饰可数名词 也可修饰不可数名词a lot of / lots of plenty of (time, money, people)
修饰不可数名词(a) little / less / least much / more / most a great (good) deal of an amount of / amounts of the amount of量词使用中应注意的几个问题:1) 分清可数名词和不可数名词是前提;
2) 不要把量词的形式搞混淆了:下面哪个表达形式是对的?
A. A lot students have come back from the summer holiday. B. A few of the students have come back from the summer holiday. C. A great many of students have come back from the summer holiday. D. Many a student has have come back from the summer holiday. E. The number of students have come back from the summer holiday. F. A number of students have come back from the summer holiday.以上六个表达方式中只有F 是对的。为什么?
A. a lot students → a lot of students B. a few of the students → a few students C. a great many of students → a great many students D. Many a student has come back from the summer holiday. E. The number of 表示数目,如:The number of the students in our class is 50. A number of 表示"一些","不少",认真对比一下,看出问题来了吗?
问多少钱、多少重量时用:How much…?问距离时用:How far is it from…to…?
