a large amount of
与large amounts of的区别
只不过都是amount是修饰不可数名词:
a large amount of +不可数名词,谓语动词用单数;
large amounts of+ 不可数n 谓语动词用复数。
从 a
huge amount of 和large amounts of说开去,兼谈a
quantity of 和quantities of的用法(转摘)
外研版选修7 module3 里有a huge amount of词组。其用法为:a
large
(great,good)amount of
+不可数名词,谓语动词一般用单数;但
(huge,great,good)amounts of
+不可数名词,作主语时,谓语动词要

关于
a quantity of 和quantities of的用法:“a large quantity
of 译为“许
多,大量”其谓语由短语中的“quantity”形式决定。它是单数,不管修饰的<
br>是什么样的词,一律用单数。如果是quantities,则谓语全用复数。只与
quanti
ty的形式有关。
专家观点:
1.
徐广联在《大学英语语法讲座与测试》(华东理工大学出版社)中表示, a
quantity of
只能修饰不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。 A quantity of
间或也可
以修饰可数名词,例如, A quantity of baskets were on
sale.
2. 张怀信在《英语高考活用图解辞典》(延边大学出版社)中讲到, a
largesmall quantity of 大量的
少量的(可以修饰可数名词或不可数名
词),例如, I need a large
quantity of oil (apples). quantities of
大批
的,大量的,例如, Large quantities of polluted water
are flowing into
the sea. 该书所附〈语法祥解篇 ---
主谓一致〉还明确指出“在以上( a lot of,
lots of, plenty of,
a large quantity of +
名词)的词组后面的名词是中心词,
谓语动词根据后面的名词的数而定”。

.顾南华在《中高级英语考试指南》(华中工学院出版社)中说, a
quantity of,
quantities of 可跟可数名词与不可数名词 , 并举有三例: There
is a
large quantity of milk. Great quantities of fish
are caught on the
high sea. Large quantities
of water are needed for cooling purposes. 在
452 页讲到“ a quantity of + 不可数名词”,谓语只用单数,“
quantities
of + 可数与不可数名词”,谓语要用复数。

.章振邦在《新编英语语法》(上海译文出版社) 212 页中讲到, a
quantity of
既可用于复数可数名词,也可用于不可数名词。例如 , A large
quantity of
flowers were heaped on the martyr’s tomb. A large
quantity of beer was consumed. Quantities of
food were on the table.
5.
刘锐诚在《学生使用英语高考必备》(中国青年出版社)中认为, a
quantity of +
名词 [C,U][+ 单或复数动词 ] , quantities of + 名词 [C,U] [+
复数动词 ] 。
6. 张鑫友在《英语语法难题新探(句法篇)》(中国地质大学出版社)
529 页
中说,在 …a large quantity of… 等短语后既可接复数可数名词,
亦可接不可
数名词。在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时,其谓语动词通常跟 of
后
名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。
综上所述,结论就是:
1 .
a quantity of 后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词。在它们分别和
其后的名词构
成短语作主语时,其谓语动词通常看 of 后名词的具体情况而采用
单数或复数形式。如果是接不可数
名词,则谓语用单数形式,如果是接复数可
数名词,则谓语通常要采用复数形式(※偶而接单数式谓语,
属非规范用法,
宜慎用。)
2 . quantities of
后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词 , 后面的谓语都
用复数形式。
举例证明:
1. On January 18, a large quantity of
coloured photopaper, dried
seafood, canned
abalone, audio equipment and antibiotics worth
