修饰可数名词和不可数名词，同种意思的词语有哪些？

首先要搞清楚，是修饰可数名词或不可数名词，而不是单数或复数名词。可数名词都有复数形式，而不可数名词没有复数形式。

a

large

deal

of、a

plenty

of和a

good

supply

of

在多数情况下修饰不可数名词，如：a

plenty

of

water,

a

geat

deal

of

time，不过它们也可以修饰可数名词，如a

plenty

of

men。

a

quantity

of在多数情况下修饰可数名词，如a

quantity

of

boxes,

不过也可修饰不可数名词，如a

quantity

of

milk。

quantities

of与上述的一样

一、只能修饰可数名词的词语有:

many,

many

a(n),

a

good

/

great

many,

a

(great

/

large)

number

of,

scores

of,

dozens

of等。例如:

of

people

went

there

in

the

first

few

days

after

its

opening.

开张后的头几天,很多人去了那儿。

I

have

been

times.

我已去过那儿很多次了。

There’re

a

number

of

students

the

classroom.

教室里有许多学生在读英语。

Many

a

winter,

a

many

animals

sleep

under

the

snow.

冬天很多动物在雪下冬眠。

注意:

many所修饰的复数名词前若有限定词,many

后面要接of,

表示“……中的很多”。

例如:

A

great

many(of

the)

graduates

have

found

jobs.

毕业生中很多人已经找到了工作。

二、只能修饰不可数名词的词语有:

much,

a

great

deal

of,

a

great

/

large

amount

of等。例如:

there

much

water

in

the

bucket?

桶里有很多水吗?

He

always

has

a

great

amount

of

work

to

do.

他总是有很多工作要做。

三、既能修饰可数名词又能修饰不可数名词的词语有:

a

lot

of,

lots

of,

plenty

of

(以上三个词语后谓语动词的数依of

后的名词的单复数而定),a

great

/

large

quantity

of

(其后谓语用单数),quantities

of

(其后谓语用复数)。例如:

There

is

still

lots

of

snow

in

the

garden.

花园里还有许多雪。

There

is

plenty

of

rain

here.

这儿的雨水很多。

A

great

quantity

of

flowers

was

placed

in

the

hall.

大厅里放了很多鲜花。

There

are

large

quantities

of

food

in

the

cupboard.

橱柜里有许多食物。

在所有这些表示“很多”的词语中many,

much

是最常用的词,它们既可以用于肯定句,也可以用于疑问句和否定句。例如:

Are

there

many

people

in

the

street?

街上有很多人吗?

There

isn’t

much

time

left.

剩下的时间不多了。

其它的词语都用于肯定句,日常会话中常用lots

of;

正式文体中常用

a

great

many,

a

(large)

number

of,

a

great

deal

of,

scores

of

或

dozens

of

等。但若肯定句中有too,

so,

as,

very或how

等词修饰时,则必须使用

many,

much。例如:

The

number

of

the

people

who

lost

their

homes

reached

as

many

250,000.

无家可归的人数多达250,000人。
