限定詞與數量詞

Q: 英文的數量詞是什麼？

數量詞（quantifier）是放在名詞前、表示數量或程度的字：many, much, few, little, some, any, each, every, all, most, several, a number of, a great deal of。每個數量詞只能搭配特定類型的名詞（可數單數、複數或不可數），所以作答時要先看後面的名詞再選。

Q: much 和 many 有什麼不同？

many 搭配可數複數名詞（many clients, many invoices），much 搭配不可數名詞（much time, much equipment）。兩者都常用在否定句和疑問句；在口語的肯定句中，一般兩種名詞都用 a lot of。much 在 too, so, as, very 之後仍可用於肯定句：too much paperwork。

Q: few 和 a few、little 和 a little 有什麼差別？

a few（可數）和 a little（不可數）帶有正面意思：有一些、夠用。few 和 little 帶有負面意思：很少、幾乎沒有。比較：We have a few seats left, so you can still register（還有位子）和 Few people registered, so the event was canceled（人太少）。在 Part 5 中，讀句子的後半段就能知道作者想表達「夠」還是「不夠」。

Q: each 和 every 有什麼不同？

兩者都搭配單數名詞和單數動詞：Each employee has a locker、Every employee has a locker。each 強調個別的每一個，也可以用於兩個人／物；every 強調整個群體（三個以上）。只有 each 能直接接 of：each of the employees；要用 every 就必須說 every one of the employees。

Q: a number of 和 the number of 之後的動詞怎麼變化？

a number of + 複數名詞 意思是「許多」，真正的主詞是複數名詞，所以動詞用複數：A number of employees have signed up。the number of + 複數名詞 意思是「……的數字」，主詞是 number，所以動詞用單數：The number of employees has doubled。這是 Part 5 經常出現的一組陷阱。

Q: another、other 和 the other 有什麼不同？

another（另一個、再一個）搭配單數名詞：another meeting。other（其他的）搭配複數或不可數名詞：other suppliers。the other 指剩下的那一個或那些特定的：the other printer, the other candidates。others 和 the others 是代名詞，單獨使用，後面不接名詞。

any 用於否定句和疑問句：We have not received any complaints. 在肯定句中，any 表示任何：Any employee can use the gym.（可搭配單數）。
no = not any，後面接名詞：There are no seats left. 後面沒有名詞時用 none：None of the seats are left.
many（可數）和 much（不可數）多用於否定句和疑問句；非正式的肯定句常用 a lot of / lots of / plenty of。much 仍可用於正式的肯定句，以及 too, so, as, very 之後。

例句

We did not receive any applications from overseas.我們沒有收到任何來自海外的申請。
How much time do we have before the deadline?距離截止日期我們還有多少時間？

few / a few / little / a little

	複數可數	不可數	意思
有 a	a few	a little	一些，夠用（正面）
沒有 a	few	little	很少，幾乎沒有（負面）
加強語氣	quite a few	quite a little（少用）	相當多

例句

There are a few seats left, so you can still register.還剩幾個名額，所以您仍然可以報名。
Few customers used the old app, so it was discontinued.很少有顧客使用舊版應用程式，所以它已經停用了。
We have little time to revise the proposal.我們幾乎沒有時間修改提案。

each / every 與 all / most / some of

each 和 every + 單數名詞 + 單數動詞：Every employee has a parking space. each 強調個別的每一個（可用於兩者）；every 強調整個群體（三個以上）。
each of + the/these/our + 複數名詞 + 單數動詞：Each of the candidates was interviewed. 不能說 every of；要用 every one of。
every + 數字 + 複數名詞表示頻率：every three months、every two weeks。
all, most, some, many, much, none, any + of the/my/these... 用於指特定群體；泛指時不加 of：Most companies offer training（一般的公司）／ Most of the companies we contacted replied（特定的那些公司）。
of 之後必須有限定詞或代名詞：most of the staff、all of them；不能說 most of employees。
動詞依 of 後面的名詞決定：Most of the information is outdated. / Most of the files are outdated.

例句

Each department has its own budget.每個部門都有自己的預算。
All of the new laptops have been delivered.所有新的筆記型電腦都已送達。
Safety inspections are carried out every six months.安全檢查每六個月進行一次。

another / other / others / the other / the others

each other / one another 表示「彼此、互相」：The two departments support each other.

字	搭配	意思	例句
another	單數名詞（或單獨使用）；another + 數字 + 複數 N	另一個（不特定）、再一個	Could I have another copy? / We need another two weeks.
other	複數名詞或不可數名詞	其他的（不特定）	Other suppliers offer lower prices.
others	單獨使用（代名詞）	其他人／其他東西	Some staff work remotely; others come to the office.
the other	單數或複數名詞	剩下的那一個／那些（特定）	One printer works; the other one is broken.
the others	單獨使用（代名詞）	剩下的全部	Two candidates arrived; the others are late.

both / either / neither 與 number / amount

both + 複數名詞（兩者）：Both offices are closed. either（兩者之一）和 neither（兩者皆非）+ 單數名詞：Either date is fine.
both/either/neither of the + 複數 N。neither of 在正式用法中搭配單數動詞。
配對結構：both A and B（複數動詞）；either A or B、neither A nor B（動詞依 B，也就是最靠近的主詞決定）。Not only A but also B 也依 B 決定。
a number of + 複數 N + 複數動詞（= 許多）：A number of guests have checked in.
the number of + 複數 N + 單數動詞（= 數量、數目）：The number of guests has doubled.
an amount of / a large amount of / the amount of + 不可數名詞：a large amount of data。可數名詞不要用 amount。

例句

Neither the manager nor her assistants were available.經理和她的助理都沒有空。
The number of online orders has increased significantly.線上訂單的數量大幅增加。
A large amount of money was spent on advertising.大筆經費花在廣告上。

當代名詞用的數量詞

許多數量詞可以單獨出現，或放在 of the/our... 前面，代替整個名詞片語。Part 5 常把它們放在主詞位置，考動詞的單複數。

none of + 複數名詞搭配單數動詞（較正式）或複數動詞都可以：None of the candidates has responded 和 None of the candidates have responded 都正確。多益很少要你在這兩者之間選擇。
each 可以緊接在複數主詞之後；這時動詞仍依主詞用複數：The rooms each have a projector.
all, both, each 也可以放在 be 之後或第一個助動詞之後：The managers are all in the meeting. / The two files have both been deleted.

當主詞的數量詞	動詞	例句
each, either, neither, one	單數	Each of the rooms has a projector. / Neither was available.
both, many, few, several	複數	Many have already registered. / Both are qualified.
much, little	單數	Much has changed since the merger.
all, most, some, any, none	依所代替的名詞決定	All of the money was spent. / All of the seats were taken.

例句

Several of our clients have asked for longer payment terms.我們有幾位客戶要求延長付款期限。
Each of the participants will receive a certificate.每位參加者都會收到一份證書。

百分比、分數與表示部分的片語

表示整體中一部分的片語，動詞依 of 後面的名詞變化，而不是依表示部分的字。Part 7 的報告、問卷調查大量使用這種結構。

percent（美式）或 per cent（英式）不加 -s：20 percent，不能說 20 percents。名詞 percentage 要搭配 a/the：a high percentage of。
分數單獨出現時，看它所代替的名詞：Two thirds of the shipment arrived damaged; the rest was returned.

片語	動詞單複數	例句
percent of, half of, a third of, two thirds of	複數名詞 → 複數；不可數名詞 → 單數	Forty percent of our employees work remotely. / Half of the budget has been used.
the majority of	搭配複數名詞時通常用複數	The majority of customers prefer online payment.
the rest of, the remainder of	依 of 後的名詞決定	The rest of the documents are in the cabinet.
a total of + 數字 + 複數名詞	複數	A total of 200 guests have registered.
one of + 複數名詞	一律單數	One of the printers is out of order.

例句

About 60 percent of the respondents are satisfied with the new service.約有 60% 的受訪者對新服務感到滿意。
The majority of the work has been completed.大部分的工作已經完成。

more、fewer、less 與表示限度的片語

比較數量和說明限度是公告、廣告和銷售報告中常見的內容。必須依名詞類型選對字，並理解表示上限、下限的片語意思。

more than + 數字 = 超過：more than 200 orders。不能說 over than；over 本身就有這個意思：over 200 orders。
fewer 搭配可數複數名詞，但遇到金額、時間、距離時用 less than，因為整個數字被視為一個量：less than ten minutes。

片語	搭配／意思	例句
more + 名詞	複數和不可數名詞	more seats, more space
fewer + 名詞	可數複數名詞	fewer complaints than last year
less + 名詞	不可數名詞	less paperwork, less time
less than + 金額、時間、距離	把數字視為一個整體	less than $50, less than two hours
no more than, up to	最多	Guests may bring no more than two bags. / Save up to 30%.
at least, a minimum of	至少	Applicants need at least three years of experience.
as many as, as much as	強調數字很大	As many as 500 people attended the fair.

例句

This model uses less energy and requires fewer repairs.這款機型更省電，需要維修的次數也更少。
Orders over $100 are eligible for free shipping.訂單金額超過 100 美元即可享免運費。

多益解題技巧

這是名詞搭配題：看空格後面的名詞是單數、複數還是不可數。each/every/another/either/neither + 單數名詞；many/few/several/both/a number of + 複數名詞；much/little/an amount of + 不可數名詞。
後面有 of the/my/these → 選可以接 of 的數量詞：each of, all of, most of, many of, some of, none of, either of。Every 和 another 不能直接接 of。
檢查動詞：each/every + N → 單數動詞；a number of + 複數 N → 複數；the number of + N → 單數；all/most/some of + N → 依 of 後面的名詞決定。
other / others / another / the other 是常見考題：空格後面有沒有名詞？名詞是單數還是複數？是否特定（指剩下的全部）？

常見錯誤

錯誤: Every employees must wear an ID badge.

正確: Every employee must wear an ID badge.

Every 搭配單數名詞。

錯誤: Most of employees prefer flexible hours.

正確: Most employees prefer flexible hours. / Most of the employees prefer flexible hours.

Most of 之後必須有限定詞（the、our 等）。

錯誤: The number of applicants have increased.

正確: The number of applicants has increased.

The number of 搭配單數動詞，因為主詞是「數量」。

錯誤: We need another chairs for the meeting room.

正確: We need other chairs / more chairs for the meeting room.

Another 只搭配單數名詞（除非後面接數字：another five chairs）。

錯誤: There is a large amount of customers waiting.

正確: There are a large number of customers waiting.

Customers 可數，所以用 number，不用 amount。

英文的數量詞是什麼？

a few（可數）和 a little（不可數）帶有正面意思：有一些、夠用。few 和 little 帶有負面意思：很少、幾乎沒有。比較：We have a few seats left, so you can still register（還有位子）和 Few people registered, so the event was canceled（人太少）。在 Part 5 中，讀句子的後半段就能知道作者想表達「夠」還是「不夠」。

each 和 every 有什麼不同？

兩者都搭配單數名詞和單數動詞：Each employee has a locker、Every employee has a locker。each 強調個別的每一個，也可以用於兩個人／物；every 強調整個群體（三個以上）。只有 each 能直接接 of：each of the employees；要用 every 就必須說 every one of the employees。
