1 表數量形容詞的用法
數量形容詞無法修飾所有的名詞,而是會依照名詞可數或不可數的性質來選擇用以修飾該名詞的數量形容詞,如下列用法:
a many
few+ 複數可數名詞 許多的……
少數的……(幾乎沒有)The writer has written many books.
這位作家已撰寫許多本書。
The writer has written few books.
這位作家幾乎沒寫幾本書。
Notes
few 作數量形容詞表「少數的;幾乎沒有」,但 a few 則表示「一些」,其後亦接複數可數名詞。
a few + 複數可數名詞 一些……
a few books 幾本書
a few days / months / years ago 幾天 / 幾個月 / 幾年前
