英语复习之对比学习法

在英语学习过程中，对一些相似但又有不同的语言点，学生可进行对照比较，弄清它们的区别，加深对语言现象的印象。

以学 "a great deal of"的用法为例：

学生可比较"lots of", "a lot of", "plenty of", "a large quantity of",

"a large number of" 和"a large amount of"的用法，比较下列句子：

①We have still plenty of eggs left.

We have still plenty of water left.

②The rich lady has large quantities of clothes.

We have large quantities of rain this summer.

③She has spent a great deal of (a large amount of) money on her

clothes.

④A large number of settlers from France reached Canada in 1534.

⑤There’s lots of rain here in spring.

At noon lots of students go to the reading-room to read.

通过比较这些句子，学生会明白 “lots of”，“ a lot of”，“plenty of” 和 “ a large quantity of" 可以用在可数名词和不可数名词前， “a great deal of ”和 “a large amount of ” 只可用在不可数名词前， “a large number of ”只可用在可数名词前。
