地球的淡水資源看起來(lái)似乎有許多，取之不盡，但其實(shí)它是有盡頭，水的數(shù)量又夠幾十億人類喝幾年呢?下面是我給大家整理的表示許多的英文短語(yǔ)，供大家參閱!

一、修飾可數(shù)名詞：

eg:There are many people in the park.

I have a great many things to do.

She bought scores/ dozens of eggs yesterday morning. 2)Many a/an,也表“很/許多的+可名單，謂動(dòng)用單數(shù)。

Many a young man wants to speak English. 記憶技巧：修飾可數(shù)名詞你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)的主要名詞many，number，score，dozen本身都是可數(shù)的!!

二、修飾不可數(shù)名詞：

e.g.There is a great deal of snow on the ground. A million dollars is a large amount of money to me. 記憶技巧：much，本身不可數(shù);deal，amount都是"量”，沒(méi)法量。所以加不可數(shù)

三、修飾可/不可數(shù)名詞均可：

1)a lot of，lots of，plenty of，a great/large/quantity of，

e.g. A lot of/Lots of people(可數(shù))went swimming yesterday.

A lot of/Lots of work(不可數(shù)) is to be done this week.

We have plenty of cakes(可數(shù)). Take some more.

Don't hurry.There is plenty of time(不可數(shù)).

2)特別說(shuō)明a lot.

用作名詞，表示“很多，多數(shù)”。 He knew a lot about it.

用作副詞，修飾形容詞和動(dòng)詞，表示“非常，相當(dāng)”。

He is feeling a lot better today.他今天感覺(jué)好多了。

She laughed a lot.她笑得很厲害。

3)注意a quantity of的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。后邊加+不可數(shù)名詞時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù);后邊加+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，謂動(dòng)動(dòng)詞復(fù)數(shù)。

A small quantity of water(不可數(shù)名詞) is needed.Water是不可數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞(Be動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)) There are a large quantity of flowers(可數(shù)名詞) in the garden.Flowers是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞be動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

4)great/large quantities of，不管后邊加不可數(shù)名詞還是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，謂動(dòng)都用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

Large quantities of food are on the table.桌上有大量的食物。

記憶技巧：lot，plenty，quantity他們本身自己都是集合名詞，包容性好，所以二者皆可。

以上是表示很多，大量的詞語(yǔ)詞組，表示很少，有一些，常見(jiàn)的有上課講的few/a few, little/a little, Several,大家可以參考筆記。

在英文中，將這些表示“許多，很多”的詞組按其用法歸類：

一、只能修飾名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式 many、 a great/good many 、a great/large number of 、scores of、dozens of和quite a few ,這類“許多”修飾作主語(yǔ)的名詞時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)

2) a great/good many 做代詞，表示“許多人(東西)” eg A great many of us like American English better than British English.(我們中的許多人喜歡美語(yǔ)勝過(guò)英國(guó)英語(yǔ))
