Amount,Deal,Quantity,Number等词的用法辨析

有关quantity的主谓一致

一、amount的用法详解

用作名词

其意为“数量”、“金额”等,通常用于a(great,large)amountof这类结构,其后通常接不

可数名词。如:

Hemadealargeamountofmoney.他赚了大量的钱。

Theyhavetoprocessalargeamountofdata.他们得处理大量数据。

Ihadnotexpectedsuchanamountofprai.我没料到受到这么多赞扬。

Alargeamountofdamagewasdoneinashorttime.短期内造成大量损害。

Ihadnotexpectedsuchanamountofprai.我没料想受到这样多的赞扬。

Hemustmemorizelargeamountsofmaterial.他必须背熟大量材料。

注意:这类结构用作主语,其谓语的数取决于amount的数。如:

在这座桥上花了大量资金。

正:Alargeamountofmoneywasspentonthebridge.

正:Largeamountsofmoneywerespentonthebridge.

比较:在agreatnumberof之后通常接可数名词(用复数)。如:

用作动词

用作动词时意为“合计”、“等于”、“意味着”,通常是不及物动词,其后常接介词to。如:

Buildingcostamountstosixmilliondollars.建筑费用达600万元。

Herreplyamountstoarefusal.她的回答等于拒绝。

注意:由于其后接的to为介词,所以后接动词时,该动词要用动名词。如:

这等于是欺骗老师。(from)

误:Thisamountstocheattheteacher.

正:Thisamountstocheatingtheteacher.

析:amount用作动词,表示“等于”,是不及物动词,其后接的to为介词。

二、agreat/goodmany非常多,许多(形容词)

Theyoungcouplehastravelledagreatmanycitiessincetheygotmarried.

AgreatmanycollegestudentswerenttotheWesttohelpthechildrenthere.

Thecitywavenequippedwithadrainagesystem,foragreatmanyclaypipeswerefound

比较:

...许多(后接单数动词)

Manyateacherhascometotheexhibition.

Manyawomanhasgreatinfluenceonherhusband.

Hebeguileduswithmanyataleofadventure.

,lotsof,anumberof与agreatmany/agoodmany意义相同。

2、作代词

六、小结

1.只加可数的复数

many

agreat/goodmany

a(large/good)numberof

复数谓语

2.+不可数名词

much

agreatdealof

anamountof=amountsof

单数谓语

3.+不可数名词/可数的复数

alotof/lotsof

plentyof(前不加a)

谓语由所修饰名词定

+单数可数名词,单数谓语

quantityof加不可数名词/可数的复数,单数谓语

quantitiesof加不可数名词/可数的复数,复数谓语

六、Largequantitiesof的用法

主谓一致我们已经详细复习过,它是高考英语考试的重要考点之一,其中不乏难题,尤

其是带有限定词的名词短语作主语时,最难选择谓语的单复数形式。例如,“aquantityof+

名词”作主语时,谓语是用单数还是用复数就让广大考生困惑不已,到底是用单数还是用复

呢?且看下文:

1、A(large)quantityof修饰可数或不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。

Largequantitiesofmoneyhavebeenntthere.

Alargequantityofbookshasbeenofferedtous.

Alargequantityofpeopleisneededhere.

2、(large)quantitiesof修饰可数或不可数名词,谓语动词用复数。

例如:Quantitiesoffood(nuts)wereonthetable.

3、多数语法,专家们的观点并非如此,他们认为:

aquantityof只能修饰不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。Aquantityof间或也可以修饰可数名

词,例如,Aquantityofbasketswereonsale.

alarge/smallquantityof大量的/少量的(可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词),

例如,Ineedalargequantityofoil(apples).

quantitiesof大批的,大量的,

例如,Largequantitiesofpollutedwaterareflowingintothea.

(alotof,lotsof,plentyof,alargequantityof+名词)的词组后面的名词是中心词,谓语动词

根据后面的名词的数而定”。

4、aquantityof,quantitiesof可跟可数名词与不可数名词,并举有三例:

Thereisalargequantityofmilk.

Greatquantitiesoffisharecaughtonthehigha.

Largequantitiesofwaterareneededforcoolingpurpos.

5、章振邦在《新编英语语法》(上海译文出版社)212页中讲到,aquantityof既可用于

复数可数名词,也可用于不可数名词。“aquantityof+不可数名词”,谓语只用单,

“quantitiesof+可数与不可数名词”,谓语要用复数。

例如,

Alargequantityofflowerswereheapedonthemartyr’smartyr[5mB:tE]n.烈士,殉教者tomb.

Alargequantityofbeerwasconsumed.

Quantitiesoffoodwereonthetable.

七、quantity用法结论:

1.aquantityof后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词。在它们分别和其后的名词构成

短语作主语时,其谓语动词通常看of后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。如果是接

不可数名词,则谓语用单数形式,如果是接复数可数名词,则谓语通常要采用复数形式

2.quantitiesof后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词,后面的谓语都用复数形式。

1)Besides,alargequantityofmailbagswerefound.

2)andasmallquantityofdangerousdrugswereized.

3)Aquantityoffakecertificatesandofficialstampswerealsoized.

进行对照比较,弄清它们的区别,加深对语言现象的印象。

7、以"agreatdealof"的用法为例:

比较"lotsof","alotof","plentyof","alargequantityof","alargenumberof"和"alargeamount

of"的用法,

比较下列句子:

①Wehavestillplentyofeggsleft.

Wehavestillplentyofwaterleft.

②Therichladyhaslargequantitiesofclothes.

Wehavelargequantitiesofrainthissummer.

③Shehasspentagreatdealof(alargeamountof)moneyonherclothes.

④AlargenumberofttlersfromFrancereachedCanadain1534.

⑤There'slotsofrainhereinspring.

Atnoonlotsofstudentsgotothereading-roomtoread.

通过比较这些句子,学生会明白“lotsof”,“alotof”,“plentyof”和“alargequantity

of"可以用在可数名词和不可数名词前,

⑥“agreatdealof”和“alargeamountof”只可用在不可数名词前,“alargenumber

of”只可用在可数名词前。
