通常用來表示人、事物或動作的數量單位的詞,叫做量詞。如頭、匹、條等。以下是應屆畢業生網為大家分享的年職稱英語考試:量詞的.使用,快來收藏吧。
由於英語中名詞分可數與不可數,量詞的使用也有區別:
修飾可數名詞
(a) few / fewer / fewest
many / more / most
a great (good) many
many a
a number of
the number of
既可修飾可數名詞 也可修飾不可數名詞
a lot of / lots of
plenty of (time, money, people)
修飾不可數名詞
(a) little / less / least
much / more / most
a great (good) deal of
an amount of / amounts of
the amount of
量詞使用中應注意的幾個問題:
1) 分清可數名詞和不可數名詞是前提;
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。為什麼?
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…?
