以下名詞為不可數(shù)名詞：
news(消息) information(信息)
furniture (家具) equipment(設(shè)備)
advice (勸告) weather(天氣)
work*(工作) clothing(衣服)
baggage(行李)
work作 "工作" 解釋時為不可數(shù)名詞，"找工作"不能說to find a work, 應(yīng)為to find a job; work作"著作"、"作品"解時是可數(shù)名詞，如：Deng Xiaopin's works (鄧小平著作)/ a work about Deng Xiaopin (一件關(guān)于鄧小平的作品);作 "工廠" 解釋時，單復(fù)數(shù)同形：a steel works (一個鋼鐵廠) / two chemical works(兩家化工廠)
實例：
We have a large staff but there ______ in the office.
A. haven't many furnitures
B. aren't many furnitures
C. hasn't much furniture
D. isn't enough furniture
解題思路：根據(jù)名詞數(shù)的概念A(yù)、B肯定錯，不必考慮;C、D的主要差異是"hasn't"與 "isn't", 句子中有there，說明該句是there be句型，故正確答案為D.題中staff, office 等詞與解題無關(guān)。
注意辨別句子中斜體詞的數(shù)及其意義：
There is still much room for improvement. (仍有許多改進(jìn)的余地)
He has published two important papers on this subject. (他在這個課題上已發(fā)表了兩篇重要論文。)
