how much\how many
附:
how many和howmuch是用来提问多少,的意思,那么how many和howmuch有什么区别吗?
1 所修饰词的不同
how many用来修饰可数名词的复数,它的句式是:How many+复数名词+一般疑问句+?
how much用来修饰不可数名词,表示数量,也可单独使用。
2 how many的用法
(1)对there be句型中主语的数量如:some, five, only one等提问时,如果主语是可数名词,不管主语是单数还是复数一般都用复数形式提问,因为问话人不知道具体的数量是多少,而且many只能接可数名词复数形式,所以be一定要用are.即用How many+可数名词复数+are there+地点/时间状语?的句型结构.例如:
1. There is a book on the desk. (用how many改为特殊疑问句)
How many books are there on the desk?
2. There are seven days in a week. (对划线部分进行提问)
How many days are there in a week?
(2)记忆口诀
how many在句首,名词复数跟着走,一般问句紧相随,其它成分不要丢.
3 howmuch的用法
(1)用来询问事物的数量,后接不可数名词。例如:
How much milk is there in the glass?玻璃杯里有多少牛奶?
(2)用来询问事物的重量。例如:
-How much does the pig weigh?这头猪多重?
-Eighty kilos.八十公斤。
(3)how much 意为“多少钱”时,可单独使用,也可构成词组how much money,但英语中常省略money,用来询问某物的价钱、价格。
(注意:how much询问价格时,它的回答若是中国的货币单位应采用汉语拼音yuan,fen来表示,几角常采用几十分来表示,字母用小写,且不用复数。例如:
-How much is the eraser?这块橡皮擦多少钱?-Ninety two fen.九角二分。)
(4)用来询问数字计算的结果,相当于what。例如:
-How much is three plus one?三加一等于多少?
-It''''s four.等于四。
如果是直译,就是根据汉字的顺序应该是In
this
way,
the
amount
如果按照常规的问法应该是How
many
do
this?
how
many
need
these
be
made
How much do you need? 及 How many do you need? 都可以,视乎所指的东西是可数还是不可数的,可数的用How many, 不可数用How much。
This is the lowest price. It can't be lower any more.
how
