扩展：
英语中有许多词语可用来表示“许多”,根据性质可分为三大类:
1) 修饰可数名词复数形式的有 many,a good/great many,quite a few,a large (或great)/small number of 等,其后的谓语动词用复数形式.如：
many和few,a few在句中可作定语、主语,但不能作表语.如只能说I have many/few books,而不能说 My books are many/few.
very many相当于a great/good many,在程度上比many要强.
a number of修饰主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,the number of…作主语时,谓语动词用单数.如：
A number of 作定语修饰主语 students.句⑥的介语短语 of the students in our school 作定语,修饰前面的主语 the number,表示特指,students 前的冠词the不能省.
2) 修饰不可数名词的有 much,a great deal of,quite a little,an amount of 等.其后的谓语动词用单数形式.如：
much,a great deal和 many一样,可作定语或主语,而不能作表语,我们一般说 He has much/a great deal of money,而不说 His money is much(或a great deal).
a great deal后面不接名词时,不能用介词of.
3)既能修饰可数名词,又能修饰不可数名词的有 a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a great quantity of等,谓语动词根据主语是可数或不可数决定单复数形式。
