量詞的使用:由于英語中名詞分可數(shù)與不可數(shù),量詞的使用也有區(qū)別:修飾可數(shù)名詞(a) few / fewer / fewest many / more / most a great (good) many many a a number of the number of既可修飾可數(shù)名詞 也可修飾不可數(shù)名詞a lot of / lots of plenty of (time, money, people)
修飾不可數(shù)名詞(a) little / less / least much / more / most a great (good) deal of an amount of / amounts of the amount of量詞使用中應(yīng)注意的幾個(gè)問題:1) 分清可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞是前提;
2) 不要把量詞的形式搞混淆了:下面哪個(gè)表達(dá)形式是對(duì)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.以上六個(gè)表達(dá)方式中只有F 是對(duì)的。為什么?
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 表示數(shù)目,如:The number of the students in our class is 50. A number of 表示"一些","不少",認(rèn)真對(duì)比一下,看出問題來了嗎?
問多少錢、多少重量時(shí)用:How much…?問距離時(shí)用:How far is it from…to…?
