英语中表示“许多”的片语很多，用法也不同。下面就由我为大家带来英语短语集锦，大家生活中可以多用几遍，练一练语感。
表示数量
一、英语中表示“许多”的片语很多，按其用法可以分为以下三类
1、修饰可名词：many、a number of、 a few、many a、several等。many a 的意思相当于many , 但many a 后边接可数名词单数，如：
Many a student has such a question.许多同学有这样的疑问。
A number of students have passed the exam.许多学生都通过了考试。
Several days ago, I met him in the park.几天前我在公园里遇到了他。
2、修饰不可数名词：much、a great deal of、a large amount of等。
We can get a great deal ofa large amount of rmation from internet.我们可以从网际网路上获得大量资讯。
3、既可修饰可数名词,也可修饰不可数名词：a lot of lots of ; plenty of; a large quantity of 等。
Plenty of the water is polluted.许多水都被污染了。
Plenty of the rivers are polluted.许多河都被污染了。
二、few、little;a few、a little的用法：
1、few 和a few 都修饰可数名词。few意为“几乎没有”，表示否定;a few表示“有些、几个”，表示肯定;quite a few=many修饰可数名词表示“许多”。如：
I have eaten a few apples today.=I have eaten many apples today.
He has few friends.他几乎没有什么朋友。
2、little和a little都修饰不可数名词。little意为“几乎没有几个”，表示否定;a little表示“有些”。如：
I have little money.我几乎身无分文。
I have a little work to do.我有一些工作要做
quite a little=much修饰不可数名词表示“许多。
三、a number of 与the number of的区别：
a number of 相当于some，a few; a great/large number of相当于many，quite a few;the number of指的是“…的数量”。如：
The number of the students in our school is 5，000. 我们学校学生的数量是5000人。
A number of students have passed the exam.许多学生都通过了考试。
