说出有多少
能说出某样东西多、少或者足够,也能抱怨某样东西太多。
标注的核心时长。核心模块中有两项未标注时长,因此实际课时比总和更长。
语法
5 分钟much 和 many 的分工标准和 A1 第15课一样:能不能数。
| 和什么连用 | 例子 | |
|---|---|---|
| many | 可数名词 | many books, many people |
| much | 不可数名词 | much water, much time |
不过在肯定句里一般用 a lot of: much 在肯定句里几乎不用,many 也用得比较少。
| ✓ I have a lot of work. | 肯定句 |
| ✓ I don't have much work. | 否定句 |
| ✓ How much work do you have? | 疑问句 |
a lot of 既能和可数名词连用,也能和不可数名词连用——这是最保险的说法。
“一点儿”有两个词,选择的标准也一样:
| 和什么连用 | 意思 | |
|---|---|---|
| a few | 可数名词 | 几个,一些(但是有) |
| a little | 不可数名词 | 一点儿(但是有) |
太多和足够:
| too much work / too many books | 太多 |
| enough time / enough books | 足够 |
| not enough money | 不够 |
too 只表示“太、过分”,也就是不好,而不是“很”:too expensive,但是 very interesting(A1 第18课)。
enough 放在形容词后面,但放在名词前面: old enough,但是 enough money。
中文母语者的常见错误
已针对你的语言编写用 too 夸奖。
✗ This book is too interesting(想说“太有意思了”)→ ✓ This book is very interesting。汉语的“太好了”“太有意思了”是夸奖,英语的 too 却总是 “过分、不好”。这是 A1 第18课难点的延续。
不可数名词前用 many 或加 -s。
✗ There are many money,✗ many informations → ✓ There is a lot of money,a lot of information(疑问句和否定句里用 much information)。汉语名词不分可数和不可数(A1 第15课);钱和信息不能一个一个地数,所以不用 many,不加 -s,动词用 is。
肯定句里用 much。
✗ I have much work
✓ I have a lot of work
。汉语的“很多” 在什么句子里都一样,英语的 much 一般只用在疑问句和否定句里。
enough 放在形容词前面。
✗ This bag isn't enough big
✓ This bag isn't big enough
。汉语说“够大”,“够”在前;英语的 enough 要放在形容词后面。
发音
3 分钟语流中的 of 读 /əv/,常常只剩一个 /ə/: a lot of work 听起来像 /əˈlɒtə wɜːk/, a couple of days 听起来像 /əˈkʌplə deɪz/。
enough /ɪˈnʌf/——重音在第二个音节,结尾是 /f/:这里的 gh 读 /f/,而在 bought 和 thought 里,gh 不发音。
课文
3 分钟I have a lot of work this month, but I don't have much free time. There are too many emails every morning — about a hundred. I have a few days of holiday in May and a little money in the bank, so I'm going to travel. It isn't enough for a long trip, but it's enough for a week.

写作
写四个句子:你有什么很多,什么很少,什么太多,什么足够。
范例: I have a lot of work this month. I don't have much free time. There are too many emails every day. I have enough money for a short holiday.
检查清单:肯定句里用的是 a lot of,疑问句和否定句里用的是 much/many 吗? a few 用于能数的东西,a little 用于不能数的东西了吗?
