a great many 后直接修饰名词,名词可以有修饰语,如:

1.代词:a greate many of them
2.受冠词修饰的名词:a greate many of the students
3.受these,those修饰的名词: a great many of these students
4.受物主代词修饰的名词: a great many of my students
5.受所有格修饰的名词: a great many of Tom's students
a greate deal of强调数量上的大量,常用于不可数名词,表示大量的抽象概念或无法具体计数的事物。

plenty of 加可数名词复数或不可数名词
We have plenty of food.
She ate plenty of candies
a lot of = lots of 加可数名词复数或者不可数名词
Lots of books are on the desk=A lot of books are on the desk.

a large amount of 加不可数名词

a good many 后面直接加名词复数 后面不要of

The number of ...的数量(可数名词复数)。后面谓语动词动词用单数。
The number of the girls in our class is 35.
A number of 加可数名词复数
A number of students in our class are girls.
a quantity of 和 quantities of 都可以修饰可数名词复数和不可数名词,区别在于:
quantities of在修饰不可数名词,并且和后面的名词一起做主语时,谓语由它决定,也就是用复数。
Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table;
a quantity of 谓语动词由后面名词决定,如果是可数名词复数谓语动词也用复数,如果是不可数名词 谓语动词就用单数
A large quantity of beer was sold out。
dozen的用法
当dozen与具体数字连用时,既不加复数词尾-s,也不后接介词of。
当dozen后面的名词受 the,these,those 等特指限定词修饰时,或其后的接的是us,them这样的人称代词时,则此时必须用介词 of。
