詞彙小叮嚀:
- 數字分為基數(表示數量)和序數(表示順序)。
- 基礎量詞中,`many`, `few`, `a few`, `several` 後面接「複數可數名詞」。
- `much`, `little`, `a little` 後面接「不可數名詞」。
- `all`, `any`, `enough`, `lot`(of), `more`, `most`, `no`, `none`(of), `plenty`(of), `some` 可以接可數或不可數名詞。
- `each`, `every`, `either`, `neither` 後面接「單數可數名詞」。
- 掌握數字和量詞,就能更精確地描述數量和順序!
