15、y of+名词”作主语时，谓语是用单数还是用复数就让广大考生困惑不已，到底是用单数还是用复数 呢且看下文：1、A(large)quantity of 修饰可数或不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。Large quantities of money have been sent there.A large quantity of books has been offered to us.A large quantity of people is needed here.2、(large)quantities of 修饰可数或不可数名词，谓语动词用复数。例如：Quantities of food(nuts

16、)were on the table.3、多数语法，专家们的观点并非如此,他们认为：a quantity of 只能修饰不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。A quantity of 间或也可以修饰可数名词，例如，A quantity of baskets were on sale.a large/small quantity of 大量的/少量的（可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词），例如，I need a large quantity of oil(apples).quantities of 大批的，大量的，例如，Large quantities of polluted water are flowin

17、g into the sea.（a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a large quantity of+名词）的词组后面的名词是中心词，谓语动词根据后面的名词的数而定”。4、a quantity of,quantities of 可跟可数名词与不可数名词,并举有三例：There is a large quantity of milk.8 Great quantities of fish are caught on the high sea.Large quantities of water are needed for cooling purposes.5、章振邦在新编英

18、语语法（上海译文出版社）212 页中讲到，a quantity of 既可用于复数可数名词，也可用于不可数名词。“a quantity of+不可数名词”，谓语只用单，“quantities of+可数与不可数名词”，谓语要用复数。例如,A large quantity of flowers were heaped on the martyrs martyr 5mB:tE n.烈士,殉教者 tomb.A large quantity of beer was consumed.Quantities of food were on the table.七、quantity 用法结论：1a quan

19、tity of 后既可接复数可数名词，亦可接不可数名词。在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时，其谓语动词通常看 of 后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。如果是接不可数名词，则谓语用单数形式，如果是接复数可数名词，则谓语通常要采用复数形式 2quantities of 后既可接复数可数名词，亦可接不可数名词,后面的谓语都用复数形式。1）Besides,a large quantity of mail bags were found.2）and a small quantity of dangerous drugs were seized.3）A quantity of fake certi

20、ficates and official stamps were also seized.进行对照比较，弄清它们的区别，加深对语言现象的印象。9 7、以a great deal of的用法为例：比较lots of,a lot of,plenty of,a large quantity of,a large number of 和a large amount of的用法，比较下列句子：We have still plenty of eggs left.We have still plenty of water left.The rich lady has large quantities of
