英语数量词包括数词和量词（Severala）

语法规则:

“Many” 形容事物的数量很多，可修饰可数名词。 与之对应的用于修饰不可数名词的是 “much”。

“Too many” 是指超出应有的数量，过多。

“A lot” 与“many”的意思相同，但它可以修饰可数与不可数名词。

“Several” 是指数量超过两个，但比many的数量少。只能修饰可数名词。

“A couple of”用于修饰两个（东西），或一些（东西)、少量（东西）。

“A few” 是指数量较少（的东西），同样只能修饰可数名词。与之意思相同的，修饰不可数名词的是 “a little”。

以上量词都表示数量的不确定。

上表中左列单词修饰不可数名词，尤列单词修饰可数名词。
