大家都知道,在英语中lots of, many, much都有"许多"、"大量"的意思。但是你们知道它们的区别吗?今天我们就一起来看一下吧!
1. many与可数名词的复数形式连用。例如:
Are there many people in the room?
2. much是对量和程度而言,只能修饰不可数名词。例如:
Is there much milk in the bottle?
3. lots of和a lot of 相同,是口语和书面语中最常见的用语,它既可以修饰可数名词(相当于many),也可以修饰不可数名词(相当于much)。例如:
I have lots of(=many)good books.
There's lots of(=much)bread on the table.
其中many和much经常用在疑问句和否定句中,lots of常用在肯定句中。含lots of的肯定句改为否定句和疑问句时,常用many/much来替换lots of。例如:
I have lots of work to do today.
→I don't have much work to do today.(否定句)
→Do you have much work to do today?(一般疑问句)
He knows lots of students.
→He doesn't know many students.(否定句)
→Does he know many students?(一般疑问句)
