二、修饰不可数名词：

e.g.There is a great deal of snow on the ground. A million dollars is a large amount of money to me. 记忆技巧：much，本身不可数;deal，amount都是"量”，没法量。所以加不可数

三、修饰可/不可数名词均可：

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

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

3)注意a quantity of的谓语动词。后边加+不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数;后边加+可数名词复数，谓动动词复数。

A small quantity of water(不可数名词) is needed.Water是不可数名词，谓语动词(Be动词用单数) There are a large quantity of flowers(可数名词) in the garden.Flowers是复数，谓语动词be动词用复数形式。

4)great/large quantities of，不管后边加不可数名词还是可数名词复数，谓动都用复数形式。
