too much 、much too、too many三個短語長得很像,很容易混淆,如何進行區分呢?
這三個短語區分主要從漢語意思、所能修飾的詞以及是否能夠單獨使用三個方面來區分。
一、用法解析:
1、much too:
漢語意思:太,與too意思相同不可以單獨使用,使用時後面必須加形容詞或副詞p.s. 所謂「單獨使用」就是後面不加它所修飾的詞。
如:I ammuch too tired(形容詞). 我太累了。
You ran much too fast(副詞). 你跑得太快了。
2、too many
漢語意思:太多不可以單獨使用,使用時後面必須加可數名詞複數如:There are too many people in the supermarket. We should wear our masks(口罩).
超市裡人太多。我們應該戴好口罩。
3、too much
漢語意思:太多可以單獨使用,分為兩種情況:1)放在動詞或動詞短語後面修飾動詞。
如: She played computer games too much.
她遊戲玩得太多了。
也可以寫成:She played too many games.
類似於many和much的區分
Thank(動詞) you very much.
Many thanks(名詞)
2)放在及物動詞後面做賓語
She ate too much yesterday.
昨天她吃太多了。
不單獨使用時後面加不可數名詞如:There is too much water on the road. Please be careful.
小結一下:
不可以單獨使用的是much too和too many
可以單獨使用的是too much
much too 漢語意思和其他兩個不同
「太多」有兩個,too many後面加可數名詞,too much 後面加不可數名詞
二、解題思路:
There are ________ mistakes in your homework.
此題中後面有mistakes,不是單獨使用,三個都不能排除。
1、漢語意思先行:「太錯誤」不通順,不選much too 「太多錯誤」通順。
2、 too many too much區別就比較明顯了,mistakes可數名詞,所以選用too many。
當然,這個思路不是固定唯一的,你也可以先看它修飾的是哪個詞,什麼詞性,再來詳細區分,但是前提一定是熟練記住三個短語的使用方法。
三、記憶技巧:
我們再來小結一下,這三個短語的用法從三個方面記憶並區分:
漢語意思所能修飾的詞是否能夠單獨使用同學們,思路很清晰了吧,咱們來看一下反饋練習。
四、實戰演練:
請用too many, too much, much too填空:
1、She watches TV ________on weekdays.
2、The dress is ________ small. Could you bring me a bigger one?
3、There are ________ birds singing beautifully in the forests.
4、She watches _________ TV.
