a lot是修饰可数名词还是不可数名词?

如题所述

    a lot of 后面可数或者不可数名词都可以接。

    a lot of 和lots of意思基本上是一样的,就是many,much

    首先要说的,是英文没有lot of,a lots of,a lots这说法.

    A lot of和lots of都是“很多”的意思,用法有两点值得注意.

    第一,a lot of和lots of都可用来说可数(countable)或不可数(uncountable)名词,而动词应用单数或复数形式,则看那名词而定,和a lot或lots无关.

    例如“A lot of/Lots of money was lost.(损失了很多钱.)”一语,lots之后不用were;“A lot of/Lots of people were wounded.(很多人受了伤.)”一语,a lot of之后也不用was.

    第二,many/much和a lot of/lots of意思相同,但语气上,many和much没有a lot of那么随便,a lot of又没有lots of那么随便.

    所以,a lot of / lots of不宜用于谨严的写作,多见于口语;但问句、否定句口头上也多用many和much.例如甲问:“How much time have we?(我们有多少时间?)”乙可以说:“We haven't much time.(我们没有很多时间.)”或“We have a lot of/lots of time.(我们有很多时间.)”

a lot是口语中的一个常用词组,多用于肯定句,有时也用于疑问句.其主要用法有如下几点:

一、作名词短语,表示“很多;多量”,在句中作主语、宾语或表语,其后常有动词不定式短语作后置定语,如:

Sometimes we have very little snow,but sometimes there’s a lot.有时我们这儿雪很少,有时却又很多.(作主语)

There is a lot to see at the party.聚会上有许多可观赏的东西.(作主语)

He’s given her a lot to eat.他给了她许多好吃的东西.(作宾语)

You know a lot/much about English names.你知道许多有关英语姓名的情况.(作宾语)

We see a lot of him these days.这几天我们经常见到他.(作宾语)

This is a lot.这真多.(作表语)

二、作副词短语,在句中作程度状语,表示“很;非常;常常”,修饰动词、感叹词、介词短语、形容词或副词的比较级,如:

It usually rains a lot/much at this time of year.每年这个时候都经常下雨.(修饰动词rain)

Do you wear your new watch a lot?你常戴你的新手表吗?(修饰动词wear)

Thanks a lot/very much ---that’s very kind.多谢,十分感激.(修饰感叹词thanks,thanks=thank you)

He is feeling a lot/much better.他感觉好多了.(修饰比较级better)

Your room is a lot bigger than mine.你的房间比我的大得多.(修饰比较级bigger)

三、a lot前可被such,what,quite,rather修饰,如:
I like him quite a lot.我非常喜欢他.
---How much money is left?---还剩下多少钱?
---Rather a lot.---还有相当多.
四、a lot of = lots of,可修饰可数或不可数名词,意为“许多”,“大量的”,相当于many或much.a lot,a lot of,lots of通常用于肯定句,否定句中一般用many或much,如:
There’s a lot of work to do and a lot of people have been sent there.有许多事情要做,许多人已派去那里了.
五、用于固定搭配构成习语.
have a lot to answer for为糟糕的情况负责
Jerry’s got a lot to answer for.If it weren’t for him,Ann would never have left Denver.
杰里要为这一后果负责.如果不是为了他,安永远也不会离开丹佛(美国科罗拉多州).
have a lot on your plate有很多困难的工作要处理
Leave Mum alone-she’s got a lot on her plate at the moment.不要管妈妈―——她眼下有太多的事要处理.
I can’t take a holiday at the moment; I’ve got a lot/far too much on my plate.我现在不能休假,我有太多的事要处理.
have a lot on/have a lot going on 近期很忙
Do you have a lot on for tonight?你今晚很忙吗?
They will have a lot on tomorrow.他们明天将很忙.
have a lot on one’s mind把很多事情挂在心上
He is a businessman.He always has a lot on his mind.他是一个商人.他总是记挂着很多事情.
see + n.(a lot/little/less/more/much/nothing/something) + of + sb./sth.……见到某人/物
He has seen something of life.他略有阅历.
