大家都知道，英语中有很多许多大量的表述：
such as：
a great many
a number of
a lot of
lots of
and so on
但他们有的接可数，有的接不可数，记着记着，就连最基本的都忘了怎么用了？求教，简单记忆，高效运用的方法！！！！！
在初高中英语中经常出现的“许多、大量”，主要有如下若干：
一.修饰可数名词：
1)many，a great／good many，a great／large／small number of，scores of，dozens of。
eg:There are many people in the park. @I have a great many things to do. @She bought dozens of eggs yesterday morning．
2)Many a／an,也表“很/许多的+可名单，谓动用单数。
Many a young man wants to speak English．
3)the number of…，表示“…的数目”’，谓动用单数。
The number of books missing from the school library is large．
记忆技巧：修饰可数名词你会发现构成短语的主要名词many，number，score，dozen本身都是可数的！！
二、修饰不可数名词：
1)much，a great／good deal of，a large／small amount of。
@There is a great deal of snow on the ground．@A million dollars is a large amount of money to me．
2)@a great／good deal可用作adv.，作状语，饰adj.，特别是adj.比较级，意思是“非常,…得多”；
He ran a good deal faster than I.他跑得比我快得多。
@也可修饰动词，意思是“很多”。 “Do you walk much?”“Yes，(I walk) a good deal.
3)@the amount of．．．作主语，谓动用单。The amount of money spent on the bridge was large．
@1arge amounts of．．．作主语，谓动复。Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge．
记忆技巧：much，本身不可数；deal，amount都是"量”，没法量。所以加不可数
三、修饰可/不可数名词均可：
1)a lot of，lots of，plenty of，a great／1arge／small quantity of，
@A lot of／Lots of people可数went swimming yesterday．@A lot of／Lots of work不可数 is to be done this week．
@We have plenty of cakes可数．Take some more．@Don't hurry．There is plenty of time不可数．
2)a lot.
@用作n，表示“很多，多数”。 He knew a lot about it.
@用作adv，修饰adj.和v，表示“非常，相当”。He is feeling a lot better today．/She laughed a lot．她笑得很厉害。
3)注意a quantity of的谓动。+不n,谓动单；+可n复，谓动复。
A small quantity of water is needed．There are a large quantity of flowers in the garden．
4)great／large quantities of+。+不n/+可n复，谓动都复。Large quantities of food were on the table．
记忆技巧：lot，plenty，quantity他们本身自己都是集合名词，包容性好，所以二者皆可。
