选择正确的量词
在回答「How much」和「How many」的问句时，有些量词要接可数名词（如 friends丶cups丶people），有些则要接不可数名词（如 sugar丶tea丶money），也有几种是可以接所有类型的名词。
| 只接不可数名词 | 可接所有类型的名词 | 只接可数名词 |
|---|---|---|
| a little | no, none, not any | a few |
| a bit of | some | a number of |
| any | several | |
| a great deal of | a lot of, lots of | a great number of |
| a large amount of | plenty of | a large number of |
举例
- Would you like some tea and a few cookies?
- I always put a little milk and some carrots in my soup.
- He has several apples. I don't have any fruit at all.
- She has plenty of clothes for the winter.
- I recieved a large amount of feedback from my survey.
much 和 many 的用法
much 和 many 主要用在疑问句和否定句上。在肯定句和否定句上，这些量词也会和 too 和 so 一起连用。注意：many 这个字可以单独用在肯定句，而 much 却不能。在肯定句中，much 会被 a lot of 或 lots of 取代（这些措辞也可取代 many）。
