考点二 限定词
不可数名词的限定词和不可数名词原形连用, 下面这些限定词后面一定跟不可数名词:
much, a large amount of, a great deal of, a wealth of(大量的、丰富的)
little /a little /less /least, a piece /sheet /slice /bar of, 属不可数名词专用
例题:
(1)
Because they are generally taken simply to obtain a recognizable and relatively clear image, most nonprofessional photographs demand few equipment.
应改为:little.
解释:equipment是不可数名词, 不能用few修饰, 应改为和其对应的little
(2)
Data received from two spacecraft indicate that there is many evidence that huge thunderstorms are now occurring around the equator of the planet Saturn.
应改为:much evidence
解释:many是复数名词的限定词,而evidence是不可数名词,应用much作限定词
另外一些词(词组)如such, some /any (of), most (of), a lot of, lots of, the rest of, plenty of等既可接可数名词又可接不可数名词。
例如:
a lot of students , a lot of money
the rest of the students, the rest of money
