级别：初学者 当我们想向某人提供有关某物数量的信息时，我们会使用量词：how much或how many。
Sometimes we use a quantifier in the place of a determiner:
有时我们使用量词代替限定词：
Most children start school at the age of five.
We ate some bread and butter.
We saw lots of birds.
我们可以将这些量词与可数名词和不可数名词一起使用：
all, some, more, a lot of, enough, no, any, most, lots of, less
We have lots of time.
Joe has lots of friends.
I can't go out. I've got no money.
There was a lot of food but no drinks.
级别：中级学习水平
这些更口语化的形式也用于可数名词和不可数名词：
plenty of, heaps of, a load of, loads of, tons of
We have loads of time.
Joe has plenty of friends.
There was heaps of food.
some 和 any
We do not normally use the quantifier some in negative and interrogative sentences. We normally use any:
我们通常不会在否定句和疑问句中使用量词 some。 我们通常使用any：
Do you have any children?
Did you see any friends?
We don't have any children.
I didn't see any friends.
We saw some lions at the zoo, but we didn't see any tigers.
but we can use some for offers and requests:
但是我们可以将some用于要求和请求：
Would you like some tea?
I want some apples, please.
带可数名词的量词
一些量词只能与可数名词一起使用：
(not) many, each, either, (a) few, several, both, neither, fewer
这些更口语化的形式仅用于可数名词：
a couple of, hundreds of, thousands of
I'll be back in a couple of minutes.
There were hundreds of people at the meeting.
带不可数名词的量词
一些量词只能与不可数名词一起使用：
(not) much, a bit of, a little
Would you like a little wine?
Could I have a bit of butter, please?
这些量词特别用于抽象名词，如时间、金钱和麻烦：
a great deal of, a good deal of
It will probably cost a great deal of money.
He spent a good deal of time watching television.
团体成员
当我们一般谈论组的成员时，我们将名词直接放在量词之后：
Few snakes are dangerous.
Most children like chocolate.
I never have enough money.
但是如果我们谈论特定组的成员，我们也会使用：
Few of the snakes in this zoo are dangerous.
Most of the boys at my school play football.
He's spent all (of) the money that we gave him.
Both (of) the chairs in my office are broken.
注意：对于 all 和 both，我们不需要使用。 我们可以说all the …以及both the …。
both, either and neither
如果我们谈论两个人或事物，我们使用量词both, either and neither：
Both the supermarkets were closed.
Neither of the supermarkets was open.
I don't think either of the supermarkets was open.
请注意，带有 both 的名词具有复数动词，但带有 either 和 neither 的名词具有单数动词。
every 和 each
我们使用量词 every 和 each和单数名词来表示所有：
There was a party in every street. (= There were parties in all the streets.)
Every shop was decorated with flowers. (= All the shops were decorated with flowers.)
Each child was given a prize. (= All the children were given a prize.)
There was a prize in each competition. (= There were prizes in all the competitions.)
我们经常使用 every 来谈论时间，比如几天、几周和几年：
When we were children, we had holidays at our grandmother's every year.
When we stayed at my grandmother's house, we went to the beach every day.
We visit our daughter every Christmas.
我们不使用带有 every 和 each的限定词：
Every shop was decorated with flowers. (NOT The every shop)
Each child was given a prize. (NOT The each child)
