一、much 作限定词,用来表示某个单数不可数名词的数量大,意为“许多”,修饰单数不可数名词 I haven’t got much change. I’ve only got a ten euro note.Is there much unemployment in that area?It was pouring with rain but there wasn’t much wind.2、在更正式的场合里,much 用于肯定句,否则用 lots of, a lot of 或 plenty of,例如:There is much concern about drug addiction in the US.3、在面对面的谈话中 用 this much 或 that much 加手势来表明数量,例如:I only had that much cake. (配合手势)当名词被冠词a/an 和 the,指示代词 this 和 that,my, your 等形容词性物主代词修饰时,或修饰宾格代词时,much 后面要加 of,例如:How much of this book is fact and how much is fiction?Much of the food we eat is of very poor or indifferent quality. Much of his early work is concerned with the minutiae of rural life. 他早期的许多作品关注的是农村生活中一些鸡毛蒜皮的琐事。I think you're expecting too much of me. Sorry we've taken up so much of your time. Has much of this actually been tried here? Or is it just talk? 5、too much 意为“太多的,不必要的”,修饰不可数名词,例如:I bought too much food. We had to throw some of it away.解析:此句中的 too much 中的 much 是重心,要区别于以 too 为重心的短语 much too.当名词是前面提到过的,可以省略名词,单独使用 too much,例如:A: They had a lot of work to do.6、在肯定句中,用 so much 而不用 very much 来强调某个东西的数量很大,可以意为”那么多,如此多“,例如:解析:此句不能改成 He has very much money!7、使用 as much + 不可数名词 + as | as much as 作数量的对比,例如:Try and find out as much information as you can.Take as much time as you like.Experts reveal only as much as they care to. 二、作副词,修饰动词,形容词及比较级或副词及比较级,比较级和最高级分别是:more 和 most1、修饰动词,放在实义动词的前面或后面,be 动词之后,例如:Thank you very much for the flowers.I would very much like to see you again.My new job is much the same as the old one.The matter is much exaggerated. I'm not much good at tennis.We are very much aware of the lack of food supplies.Sometimes the prices in the local shop are much better than the supermarket’s prices.I feel much calmer now I know she’s safe.The other one was much too expensive. 解析:以上两句中的 much too 中的 too 是重心,要区别于以 much 为重心的短语 too much.She’s walking much more slowly since her operation.解析:此句中副词 slowly 的比较级是 more slowly,much 修饰 more slowly.Babies lose heat much faster than adults. I'm as much in the dark as you. 2、as much as sb can do 表示难以做到,例如: No dessert for me, thanks. It was as much as I could do to finish the main course.3、not much in it 没什么区别;差别不大,例如:I won, but there wasn't much in it. 4、not much of 不是很好;不怎么样,例如:He's not much of a tennis player.
