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…？
