回忆一下什么是可数名词，什么是不可数名词

普通名词分为可数名词和不可数名词两种：

 

普通名词所表示的人或事物是可以按个数计算的，这类名词叫可数名词。可数名词分为个体名词（表示某类人或事物中的个体，如worker,farmer,desk,factory等）和集体名词（表示作为一个整体来看的一群人或一些事物，如people,family等）。

 

如果普通名词所表示的事物是不能按个数来计算的，这类名词就叫不可数名词。不可数名词分为物质名词（表示无法分为个体的物质，如meat,rice,water,milk,orange等）和抽象名词（表示动作、状态、情况、品质等抽象感念，如work,homework,time,health,friendship等）。

 

常见的不可数名词 ：

air空气 water水 ice冰money钱 gas气体  time时间  work工作  homework作业 housework家务  bread面包  rice 米 juice果汁 milk牛奶  news新闻  ink墨水  information信息  fish鱼肉 meat肉 sugar糖 salt盐  tea茶 furniture家具  fun快乐  weather天气  advice建议  traffic交通 knowledge知识 rain雨  wood 木材

 

二、谈论数量 

1、修饰不可数词 

much/ little/ a little / a great deal of/ some / enough / no / a lot of / lots of /a bit of /a drop of /a piece of等

eg：

I want a piece of chalk  我想要一支粉笔

Please give me a little ink.

much milk  

enough rice   

little money 

a little orange juice   

a drop of water

 

2、修饰可数名词

many/ few/ a few/ quite a few (许多)/ a number of / some/ enough/ no/ a lot of/ lots of /several/ hundreds of/thousands of /millions of / a number of /a group of/a pair of 等

eg:

many books  

thousands of people    

quite a few cars  

lots of tomatoes      

few mistakes

注意：many  表示数量多 修饰可数名词复数

much  表示量多  修饰不可数名词

 

3、可数和不可数名词都可以修饰的

 some/any/enough/no/ plenty of/a lot of/ lots of 等

eg:

Please give me some paper.

I don't want to buy any magazines.

 

4、一些易混词

1） Few & little

few用于修饰可数名词，

a few 有一点点，表示肯定，

few几乎没有，表示否定。

little修饰不可数名词，

a little有一点点，表肯定，

little几乎没有，表否定。

eg:

Few of us study English. 我们中很少有人学习英语。

We have few books. 我们几乎没有书。

I have a little money with me. 我身上带着一点钱。

There is little water in the cup.

2）How many & how much

 

How many意为 “多少”， 用来询问可数名词的数量，后接可数名词复数。

How much意为“多少”， 用来询问不可数名词的数量的，其后接不可数名词； 还可以用来提问价格，意为“多少钱”。

Eg:

How many girls are there in your class.

How many storybooks do you have ?

How many students are there in your classroom?

How much water is there in the bottle?

How much meat do we need to make dumplings?

How much milk does the boy drink every day?

How much is the computer?

3)much too & too much /many too & many too  （看末尾词就行）

Much/ many too + adj/adv       “很，十分，实在太”

Too much+不可数名词   “太多”

Too many+可数名词复数 “太多”

Eg:

The coat is much too large for me .

We have too much homework to do every day.

There are too many books on the shelf.

 

4)enough  n/adj/adv “足够”

修饰形容词或副词，放在形容词或副词的后面。

修饰名词，放在名词的前面或后面都可以。

We don't have enough water to drink.

The book is easy enough for you to read.

He runs fast enough to catch up with the other runners.

enough eggs     

enough milk 

enough time(=time enough)
