1Yesterday, our class had a picnic in Victoria Park. It was a warm and sunny day. We brought a lot of food and drinks. How many sandwiches did we have? There were twenty, but we finished them all! We also had some rice and chicken wings. My friend Lily brought some bananas and grapes. Everyone shared their food happily.

3逐步講解 Steps

  1. 可數可數名詞指能一個一個數的名詞,例如 apple(蘋果)、book(書)、egg(蛋)。單數前面要加 a 或 an,複數加 s 或 es,例如 an apple 變 two apples。例句:I have three books. 要注意少數名詞有不規則複數,例如 child 變 children、man 變 men;可數名詞可以用 many、a few 修飾,例如 many apples;判斷方法很簡單:能在前面加數字的,就是可數名詞。
  2. 不可數不可數名詞指不能一個一個數的名詞,例如 water(水)、rice(米)、money(金錢)。它們沒有複數形式,前面不加 a 或 an,動詞一律用單數,例如:The water is cold. 要注意有些詞在中文裡可數,在英語裡卻不可數,例如 bread、furniture、paper,不能說 breads;要表達數量時,需用量詞短語,例如 a piece of bread,這是中英差異的典型例子。
  3. 問量詢問數量用 how many 或 how much:how many 配可數名詞複數,例如 How many apples do you have?;how much 配不可數名詞,例如 How much water do you need? 要注意 how many 之後的名詞必須是複數,how much 之後的名詞保持單數形式;how much 還可以用來問價錢,例如 How much is the book?;選對疑問詞的關鍵,仍然是先分清名詞可不可數。
  4. some/anysome 用於肯定句,any 用於疑問句與否定句。例句:We had some rice. Did we have any juice? We did not have any juice. 要注意 some 也可以用於期待對方答應的請求,例如 Would you like some tea?;any 在否定句中與 not 配合,表示一點也沒有;如果答覆說完全沒有,可以用 none,例如 We have none;選 some 還是 any,要看句子是肯定、否定還是疑問。
  5. 量詞幫手數不可數名詞雖然不能直接數,但可以用量詞短語表示份量:a glass of water(一杯水)、two pieces of bread(兩片麵包)、three bowls of rice(三碗飯)。例句:Please give me two cups of tea. 要注意量詞部分的名詞按可數規則變複數,例如 two glasses、three bowls;of 之後接不可數名詞;這種結構是表達不可數名詞數量的主要方法,必須熟練掌握,寫作時也非常實用。
  6. 野餐實戰例句:How many sandwiches did we have? How much rice did we bring? 提問之前要先判斷名詞可不可數:sandwich 是可數名詞,所以用 how many 加複數;rice 是不可數名詞,所以用 how much。要注意實際運用時,先在心中把食物分好類,再選擇正確的疑問詞;回答可以用量詞短語,例如 Two bowls of rice;這類題目在考卷與日常問答中都很常見,值得多練。
