首先要搞清楚,是修飾可數名詞或不可數名詞,而不是單數或複數名詞。可數名詞都有複數形式,而不可數名詞沒有複數形式。 a large deal of、a plenty of和a good supply of 在多數情況下修飾不可數名詞,如:a plenty of water, a geat deal of time,不過它們也可以修飾可數名詞,如a plenty of men。 a quantity of在多數情況下修飾可數名詞,如a quantity of boxes, 不過也可修飾不可數名詞,如a quantity of milk。 quantities of與上述的一樣 一、只能修飾可數名詞的詞語有: many, many a(n), a good / great many, a (great / large) number of, scores of, dozens of等。例如: Scores of people went there in the first few days after its opening. 開張後的頭幾天,很多人去了那兒。 I have been there dozens of times. 我已去過那兒很多次了。 There’re a number of students reading English in the classroom. 教室裡有許多學生在讀英語。 Many a student has(=many students have)visited the Great Wall.(謂語動詞用單數) 很多學生都遊覽過長城。 In winter, a good many animals sleep under the snow. 冬天很多動物在雪下冬眠。 注意: many所修飾的複數名詞前若有限定詞,many 後面要接of, 表示“……中的很多”。 例如: A great many(of the) graduates have found jobs. 畢業生中很多人已經找到了工作。
