How many, How much, How old 的用法

文法小教室 : 問多少/多老 (How many, How much, How old)

想知道「有多少蘋果?」、「多少錢?」、或「你幾歲?」的英文怎麼說嗎?這些問題都跟疑問詞 How 有關!今天我們就來學習 How many, How much, 和 How old 這三個超實用的問句吧!

一、問數量:How many vs. How much

要問「多少」的時候,我們要先判斷想問的東西是「可數」還是「不可數」的。

1. How many...? (用來問「可數名詞」的數量)

記得嗎?可數名詞就是可以一個一個數出來的東西 (例如:books, apples, students)。問可數名詞有多少個,就要用 How many

句型: How many + **複數可數名詞** + are there / do/does + 主詞 + have...?

  • How many books are there on the desk? (桌上有多少本書?)
  • How many apples do you want? (你想要多少顆蘋果?)
  • How many students are in your class? (你們班有多少學生?)

2. How much...? (用來問「不可數名詞」的數量)

不可數名詞是不能直接數的 (例如:water, milk, time, money, homework)。問不可數名詞有多少量,就要用 How much

句型: How much + **不可數名詞** + is there / do/does + 主詞 + have...?

  • How much water is in the bottle? (瓶子裡有多少水?)
  • How much time do we have? (我們有多少時間?)
  • How much money do you need? (你需要多少錢?)

關鍵:many 接可數複數,much 接不可數!

練習 1:填入 How many 或 How much

  1. _______ sisters do you have?
  2. _______ sugar do you put in your coffee?
  3. _______ chairs are in the room?
  4. _______ homework did you get today?

解答:1. How many 2. How much 3. How many 4. How much

二、問價格:How much...?

沒錯,又是 How much!除了問不可數的數量,How much 也可以用來問「價格」。

句型:

  • How much + is + 單數主詞?
  • How much + are + 複數主詞?
  • How much + do/does + 主詞 + cost?

例句:

  • How much is this shirt? (這件襯衫多少錢?)
  • How much are these shoes? (這雙鞋子多少錢?)
  • How much does it cost? (這個要多少錢?)

練習 2:用 How much 造問句

  1. 問這本書的價格:_______
  2. 問那些蘋果的價格:_______

解答:1. How much is this book? / How much does this book cost? 2. How much are those apples?

三、問年齡:How old...?

要問別人或某物的年齡、幾歲,就用 How old

句型: How old + is/are + 主詞?

  • How old are you? (你幾歲?) - I am ten years old.
  • How old is your brother? (你弟弟/哥哥幾歲?) - He is five years old.
  • How old is this building? (這棟建築物多久了?) - It is fifty years old.

練習 3:寫出問句

  1. 你想問 Amy 幾歲:_______
  2. 你想問那隻貓幾歲:_______

解答:1. How old are you, Amy? / How old is Amy? 2. How old is the cat? / How old is it?

How Many/Much/Old 小總結:

  • How many + 複數可數名詞:問「多少個」。
  • How much + 不可數名詞:問「多少量」。
  • How much:也可以問「價格」。
  • How old:問「年齡」。
  • 搞清楚可數和不可數,就能正確使用 How many 和 How much 囉!
