都能修饰 plenty of a large quantity of、a good supply of 、 不可数名词 a great deal of a large amount of, quite a little,a large sum of 可数名词 a large/ great/ good number of, a good/ great many, dozens of, scores of, quite a few
在初高中英语中经常出现的“许多、大量”,主要有如下若干: 一.修饰可数名词: 1)many,a great/good many,a great/large/small number of,scores of,dozens of。 eg:There are many people in the park. @I have a great many things to do. @She bought dozens of eggs yesterday morning. 2)Many a/an,也表“很/许多的+可名单,谓动用单数。 Many a young man wants to speak English. 3)the number of…,表示“…的数目”’,谓动用单数。 The number of books missing from the school library is large. 记忆技巧:修饰可数名词你会发现构成短语的主要名词many,number,score,dozen本身都是可数的!! 二、修饰不可数名词: 1)much,a great/good deal of,a large/small amount of。 @There is a great deal of snow on the ground.@A million dollars is a large amount of money to me. 2)@a great/good deal可用作adv.,作状语,饰adj.,特别是adj.比较级,意思是“非常,…得多”; He ran a good deal faster than I.他跑得比我快得多。 @也可修饰动词,意思是“很多”。 “Do you walk much?”“Yes,(I walk) a good deal. 3)@the amount of...作主语,谓动用单。The amount of money spent on the bridge was large. @1arge amounts of...作主语,谓动复。Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge. 记忆技巧:much,本身不可数;deal,amount都是"量”,没法量。所以加不可数 三、修饰可/不可数名词均可: 1)a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a great/1arge/small quantity of, @A lot of/Lots of people可数went swimming yesterday.@A lot of/Lots of work不可数 is to be done this week. @We have plenty of cakes可数.Take some more.@Don't hurry.There is plenty of time不可数. 2)a lot. @用作n,表示“很多,多数”。 He knew a lot about it. @用作adv,修饰adj.和v,表示“非常,相当”。He is feeling a lot better today./She laughed a lot.她笑得很厉害。 3)注意a quantity of的谓动。+不n,谓动单;+可n复,谓动复。 A small quantity of water is needed.There are a large quantity of flowers in the garden. 4)great/large quantities of+。+不n/+可n复,谓动都复。Large quantities of food were on the table. 记忆技巧:lot,plenty,quantity他们本身自己都是集合名词,包容性好,所以二者皆可。 总结:要记短语先分清短语中的关键词,就不会混了
