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:

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:

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:

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:
