Question

短语“many a”的用法？

这是我们初中学过的一个短语，很长时间没复习，都忘了。谁知道，麻烦告诉我一下吧，谢谢！

Answer 1

many a的读法、翻译、使用场景

Answer 2

“many a＋单数可数名词”：许多。

many a 修饰可数名词单数 谓语动词必须用复数
1.a number of , many , few ,a great/good many （of）修饰可数名词复数 谓语动词复数

2.a great deal of, a amount of=amounts of , much 不可数名词 谓语动词单数

3.即修饰可数又修饰不可数名词的有：plenty of, some, any , a lot of ,lots of , a mass of=masses of , a quantity of ,quantities of 

其中如果a large quantity of加不可数名词,单数谓语 
quantities of 加不可数名词,复数谓语
