1.在本单元第46课中有这样一句:A good many animals sleep under the snow.There  is a lot of air in loose snow.这里用了两个表很多的词组,它们是a good many 和a lot of.它们能在换用吗?

   在本句不能换用。因为英语中表示“许多”的词语有许多,有的只可以修饰可数句词,

有的只可以修饰不可数名词,有的既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词。

   修饰可数名词的有:much,a great/good deal of,amount of,quite a little.

   既修饰可数名词又修饰不可数名词的有:a lot of,plenty of,a large quantity of,

a good supply of.

   (1)many a +单数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。

   more than one+单数名词,one and a half+复数名词。

   Many a man comes or goes.(=Many men come or go.)很多人来来往往。

   One and a half apples is left on the table.桌子上留有一个半苹果。

   More than one student has been sent to Japan since 1990.自1990年以来,不只一个学生被送到日本学习。

   (2)a great/good many作宾语时,其后一般不跟of,但若名词前有形容词性物主代词,

如his,my和指示代词these,those等时,则其后须加of.如:

   A good many of my books were stolen yesterday.昨天,我的许多书被盗了。

   (3)a number of修饰可数名词,作主语时谓语用复数,而the number of表示“……的数目”,修饰名词,作主语时谓语用单数。如:

   The number of the students is small in this school, but a large number of books are lent in the library.

   这个学样学生的数目很少,但可以在图书室里借很多书。

   (4)large amounts of+不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。对比:

   Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.大的量的钱都花在了建桥上。

   There is a large amount of work for us to do.大量的工作等待我们去做。

   (5)a large quantity of+名词或large quantities of+名词作主语,谓语动词的单复

数与of后的名词的数无关,而与quantity 的数要保持一致。如:

   There is a large quantity of students in the classroom.教室里有许多学生。

   Large quantities of food are on the table.桌上有很多吃的。
