a quantity of+名词 和quantities of+名词做主语时,谓语动词用单数还是复数,不同的参考书有不同的说法,请问,究竟该怎么用? 答:该问题主要涉及的知识点为:quantity 与后面谓语动词单、复数搭配(即主谓一致)。但是关于quantity 与谓语单复数搭配,现在说法不统一。主要有两种观点: 1、与词形保持一致 a quantity of /quantities of 不管后面接复数还是单数(包括不可数)名词,只看quantity 本身。即:a quantity of 中的quantity 是单数,谓语动词就用单数;quantities of 中quantities 是复数,谓语动词则与复数保持一致。例如: Quantities of nuts were on the table.
A quantity of nuts was on the table.
2、与意义保持一致 这种观点认为,不应该看a quantity of / quantities of 本身,而应该看这个词组后面所接的是什么名词,如果后面的名词是单数(或不可数),则谓语用单数;如果名词是复数,那么谓语用复数。这一点与a lot of 相同,即遵循意义一致原则。例如: There is only a small quantity of wine left.
Great quantities of sand was washed down the hillside by the rain last night. A large quantity of air conditions have been sold since the summer came.
Huge quantities of oil were shipped to Japan last year. 结论:目前,比较倾向于与quantity 的词形保持一致,即 a quantity of 是单数,quantities of 是复数,而不管后面接单数或复数的名词。例如,某省一道高考题如下: With many forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth ______ each year.
A. is washing away B. is being washed away
C. are washing away D. are being washed away 它所给的答案是D. 此题中,earth 是不可数名词,但quantities 是复数,所以谓语采用了复数形式D.
A quantity of nuts was on the table.

quantities of无论修饰可数还是不可数名词、谓语动词都用复数。
例如:
Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 桌子上有许多食品(坚果)。
a quantity of+可数名词复数、谓语动词用复数;+不可数名词、谓语动词用单数。即修饰可数或不可数名词均可,作主语时采取就近一致的原则,其谓语动词通常与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致。
例如:
A large quantity of beer was sold out. 大量的啤酒被售出。
A large quantity of blouses were on sale. 大量罩衫有售。
