有一个检查名词是否可数的简单办法: one xxx,two xxx, three xxx... 通过体会语义是否正确来判断名词是否可数

Countable modifiers,可数修饰语：many, not many, few, fewer, fewest, number of, fewer than, numerous, more numerous...

Uncountable modifiers,不可数修饰语：much, not much, little, less, least, amount, less than a certain amount of, great, greater...

Countable and uncountable modifiers,可数以及不可数修饰语: more, most, enough, all

常见错误：不要将less用在可数物体上

Wrong: 10 items or less

Right: 10 items or fewer

Unit nouns,单位名词:

Countable: dollar, gallon

Uncountable: money, volume

The word “NUMBER”:

"The number of" = 单数 The number of xxx is... // "The NUMBERS of" is always incorrect. number 必须写成单数

“A number of” = 复数 A number of xxx are...

"One of..." 详解：

1,One of the X's that/who 复数

2,One of the X's 单数

3,Only one of the X's 单数

4.Only one of the X's that/who 复数

5,The only one of the X's that/who 单数

The SANAM pronouns: Some,Any,None,All,More/Most

单复数取决于 of 之后的单词的单复数：

Some of the money 单

Some of the cars 复

但，none/any of 有时要结合上下文分析

none of my friends 单

其他：

Each XXX 或 Every XXX and ZZZ 单

They each 复

Quantity phrases 量词短语:

The majority / The majority of 是否单复数需要结合上下文分析

主语短语或从句总是单数：

Having good friends is...

Whatever they want to do is...

注意不要被倒装句迷惑：

Near those buildings sit a lonely house //错误，应为sits ,主语为 a lonely house

实在不确定时可以倾向单数。

例句：红色为错误部分，绿色为正确部分。
