可数名词和不可数名词用什么修饰

1个回答

  • 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:

    Scores 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 there dozens of times.

    我已去过那儿很多次了.

    There’re a number of students reading English in the classroom.

    教室里有许多学生在读英语.

    Many a student has(=many students have)visited the Great Wall.(谓语动词用单数)

    很多学生都游览过长城.

    In winter,a good 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:

    Is 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,a lot of 或plenty 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 as 250,000.

    无家可归的人数多达250,000人.

    There is too much work to do.

    要做的工作太多了.
