2017年衛(wèi)生類職稱英語考試語法學習：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：下面哪個表達形式是對的？

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.

以上六個表達方式中只有F 是對的。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”，認真對比一下，看出問題來了嗎？

問多少錢、多少重量時用：How much…？問距離時用：How far is it from…to…？
