英语可数与不可数名词的常用修饰语有哪些?在我们的英语学习中除了我们的动词是经常用的,我们的名词也是必不可少的,那我们的名词有哪些修饰词呢?
(1) 修饰可数名词的常用修饰语有:these, those, few, a few, many, a good [great] many, a great [good] number of等。
注:a good [great] many后直接跟名词,没有介词 of。
(2) 修饰可数名词的常用修饰语有:this, that, a few, a little, a bit of, much, no, a great deal of等。
(3) 有些修饰语既可修饰可数名词也可修饰不可数名词:all, some, enough, a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large amount of, a large quantity of等。
(4) 有些名词形式上是复数,但却被用作不可数名词,使用much, little等修饰语:
He hasn't got much brains.他没什么头脑。
He took much pains to do the work.他费了不少心做这工作。
I said I wouldn't want much wages.我说过我不要很多工资。
It's high time you were taught a little manners.该是你学一点礼貌的时候了。
单位词与不可数名词数量表示法。单位词是表示事物个体性的词语,不可数名词通常没有复数形式,也不可以用个数计算,要表示不可数名词的个体性需借助单位词:
a piece of paper 一张纸 a piece of advice一条建议
a piece of news一条消息 an article of furniture一件家具
a cake of soap一块香皂 a slice of meat一块肉
a cup of tea一杯茶 a bottle of ink一瓶墨水
注:不要按汉语习惯在不该用单位词的地方错用单位词,如“一张邮票”只能说 a stamp,而不能说 a piece of stamp。
