表示許多的英文短語
地球的淡水資源看起來似乎有許多，取之不盡，但其實它是有盡頭，水的數量又夠幾十億人類喝幾年呢?下面是小編給大家整理的，供大家參閱!
：表示許多、大量含義的英語片語及用法
一、修飾可數名詞：
are many people in the park.
I have a great many things to do.
She bought scores/ dozens of eggs yesterday morning. 2Many a/an,也表“很/許多的+可名單，謂動用單數。
Many a young man wants to speak English. 記憶技巧：修飾可數名詞你會發現構成短語的主要名詞many，number，score，dozen本身都是可數的!!
二、修飾不可數名詞：
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;deal，amount都是"量”，沒法量。所以加不可數
三、修飾可/不可數名詞均可：
1a lot of，lots of，plenty of，a great/large/quantity of，
e.g. A lot of/Lots of people可數went swimming yesterday.
A lot of/Lots of work不可數 is to be done this week.
We have plenty of cakes可數. Take some more.
Don't hurry.There is plenty of time不可數.
2特別說明a lot.
用作名詞，表示“很多，多數”。 He knew a lot about it.
用作副詞，修飾形容詞和動詞，表示“非常，相當”。
He is feeling a lot better today.他今天感覺好多了。
She laughed a lot.她笑得很厲害。
3注意a quantity of的謂語動詞。後邊加+不可數名詞時,謂語動詞用單數;後邊加+可數名詞複數，謂動動詞複數。
A small quantity of water不可數名詞 is needed.Water是不可數名詞，謂語動詞Be動詞用單數 There are a large quantity of flowers可數名詞 in the garden.Flowers是複數，謂語動詞be動詞用複數形式。
4great/large quantities of，不管後邊加不可數名詞還是可數名詞複數，謂動都用複數形式。
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，大量的詞語片語，表示很少，有一些，常見的有上課講的few/a few, little/a little, Several,大家可以參考筆記。
