Question

many students 和many of the students中的many的词性和意思一样吗

Answer 1

　　many students 和many of the students中的many的词性不一样，前者为形容词，后者为代词。many用作形容词时后接复数名词,表示许多同样的人或物(但数目不明确),用作主语时,其谓语动词要用复数形式。做代词常用于many of句型，其后接名词时，该名词通常应是特指的（比如有the, these, those, my, our, Tom’s等修饰）。例如：
　　1. She has had many credits and name-checks in American Vogue.
　　美国版《时尚》多次对她进行赞扬或是提到她的名字。
　　2. In recent months many conservative politicians have jumped on the anti-immigrant bandwagon.
　　最近几个月，很多保守政客都搭上了“反移民”这班车。
　　3. Many of the clothes come from the world's top fashion houses.
　　这些服装中有很多出自世界顶级时装设计公司。
