表示数量

一、英语中表示“许多”的词组很多，按其用法可以分为以下三类

1、修饰可名词：many、a number of、 a few、many a、several等。many a 的意思相当于many , 但many a 后边接可数名词单数，如：

Many a student has such a question.许多同学有这样的疑问。

A number of students have passed the exam.许多学生都通过了考试。

Several days ago, I met him in the park.几天前我在公园里遇到了他。

2、修饰不可数名词：much、a great deal of、a large amount of等。

We can get a great deal of(a large amount of) information from internet.我们可以从互联网上获得大量信息。

3、既可修饰可数名词,也可修饰不可数名词：a lot of (lots of ); plenty of; a large quantity of 等。

Plenty of the water is polluted.许多水都被污染了。

Plenty of the rivers are polluted.许多河都被污染了。

二、few、little;a few、a little的用法：

1、few 和a few 都修饰可数名词。few意为“几乎没有”，表示否定;a few表示“有些、几个”，表示肯定;quite a few=many(修饰可数名词)表示“许多”。如：

I have eaten a few apples today.=I have eaten many apples today.

He has few friends.他几乎没有什么朋友。

2、little和a little都修饰不可数名词。little意为“几乎没有几个”，表示否定;a little表示“有些”。如：

I have little money.我几乎身无分文。

I have a little work to do.我有一些工作要做

quite a little=much(修饰不可数名词)表示“许多。

三、a number of 与the number of的区别：

a number of 相当于some，a few; a great/large number of相当于many，quite a few;the number of指的是“…的数量”。如：
