The number of与A number of区别
英语中表示“许多、大量”等的意思的词或词组有很多,但有所不同。
1.修饰可数名词的有:
many,a good/great many,a large/great number of,(quite) a few,scores of,dozens of 等。这些词或词组都接名词的复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式,但many a也表示“许多”的意思,后接名词的单数形式,谓语动词也用单数形式,例如:
Many a student has been sent to the mountain village.
2.修饰不可数名词的有:
much,a good/great deal of,a large/huge amount of, (quite) a bit of 等。这些词或词组接不可数名词,后面的谓语动词用单数形式。
3.既可以修饰可数名词,又可以修饰不可数名词的有:
plenty of,a lot of,lots of,a large/great quantity of,a good supply of,这些词或词组接复数或不可数名词,修饰可数名词时,谓语动词用复数;修饰不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数。但supplies of,(large) quantities of 同样修饰复数或不可数名词时谓语动词用的是复数,应特别注意。
