amount和number的區(qū)別 兩者有哪些不一樣

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

amount和number的區(qū)別

這一對詞都能用作名詞和動詞，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)
