a great deal of, a lot of, plenty of的區(qū)別
a great deal of, a lot of, plenty of這三個(gè)短語(yǔ)都有許多的意思,具體有什么用法上的不同呢,今天我跟大家講解一下。
1、a great deal of...大量的...,許多...,后面接不可數(shù)名詞,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。例句如下:
A great deal of money was spent.花了大筆的錢(qián)。
A great deal of water is needed.需要大量的水。
2、a lot of...許多...,通常用于口語(yǔ),后面接復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)由后面接的名詞形式?jīng)Q定。例句如下:
A lot of students are leaving soon.很多學(xué)生即將離去。
She seems to run into a lot of trouble at her job.她在工作上似乎遇到了許多麻煩。
3、plenty of...大量的...,許多...,后面接復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)視后接的名詞形式而定。必須注意的是,plenty of前面不加a,plenty本身也不用復(fù)數(shù)形式。例句如下:
There are plenty of girls dancing in the hall.許多姑娘在大廳里跳舞。
There is plenty of sugar in the coffee.咖啡里放了不少糖。
