表示“大量的” 只修饰“不可数名词”词语有much,a great/good deal of,a large amount of等。
e.g. A million dollars is a large amount of money to me.
记忆技巧:much,本身不可数;deal,amount都是"量”,没法量。所以加不可数。

一、修饰可数名词
1) many,a great/good many,a great/large number of,scores/dozens of
例句
①There are many people in the park.
②I have a great many things to do.
③She bought scores/ dozens of eggs yesterday morning.
2) Many a/an,也表“很/许多的+可名单,谓动用单数
Many a young man wants to speak English.
记忆技巧:修饰可数名词你会发现构成短语的主要名词many,number,score,dozen本身都是可数的。
二、修饰不可数名词
1) much,a great/good deal of,a large amount of
e.g.
①There is a great deal of snow on the ground.
三、修饰可/不可数名词均可
1)a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a great/large/quantity of,
e.g.
A lot of/Lots of people(可数)went swimming yesterday.
A lot of/Lots of work(不可数) is to be done this week.
We have plenty of cakes(可数). Take some more.
Don't hurry.There is plenty of time(不可数).
2)特别说明a lot.
①用作名词,表示“很多,多数”。
He knew a lot about it.
②用作副词,修饰形容词和动词,表示“非常,相当”。
He is feeling a lot better today. 他今天感觉好多了。
She laughed a lot. 她笑得很厉害。
3)注意a quantity of的谓语动词。
①后边加+不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数
A small quantity of water(不可数名词) is needed.Water是不可数名词,谓语动词(Be动词用单数)
②后边加+可数名词复数,谓动动词复数。
There are a large quantity of flowers(可数名词) in the garden.Flowers是复数,谓语动词be动词用复数形式。
4)great/large quantities of,不管后边加不可数名词还是可数名词复数,谓动都用复数形式。
