amount和number的區(qū)別：a number of+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)；the number of+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)；an amount of+不可數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)；the amount of+不可數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)。

amount和number的區(qū)別有什么

這一對(duì)詞都能用作名詞和動(dòng)詞，又都表示“數(shù)目”、“總數(shù)”之意，故很易混淆。

它們之間的區(qū)別是，amount用于不可數(shù)名詞，表示“量”; number用于可數(shù)名詞，表示“數(shù)”。例：

He has contributed a considerable amount of money to the Chinese University of Hong Kong.(amount為名詞)

他捐了一筆為數(shù)可觀的錢給香港中文大學(xué)。

Our expenditure amounts to fifty thousand dollars a month.(amount為動(dòng)詞)

我們每月的開(kāi)支達(dá)五萬(wàn)元。

Every year the Hong Kong Book Fair draws a large number of visitors.(number為名詞)

每一年香港的書(shū)展吸引了大量的觀眾。

a large numberof和a large amount of的區(qū)別

①所能修飾的名詞有區(qū)別

a large number of只可以修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式；a large amount of修飾不可數(shù)名詞。

例句：I have a number of letters to write today.

今天我有好多信要寫(xiě)。

I spent a large amount of my time on this work.

我在這項(xiàng)工作上花了不少時(shí)間。

②謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式有區(qū)別

a large number of 修飾的詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式；a large amount of 修飾的詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)形式。

例句：A large number of books are missing from the library.

圖書(shū)館的許多書(shū)不見(jiàn)了。

A large amount of damage was done in a short time.

短期內(nèi)造成大量損害。

注意：The number of的意思是“...的數(shù)量”，修飾的可數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)形式；amounts of的意思是“大量的”，修飾的不可數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，即謂語(yǔ)的數(shù)取決于 amount 的數(shù)。
