How many pencils do you have? 你有多少支鉛筆?
(1)how many是“多少,幾個”的意思。
how many用來修飾可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù),它的句式是:How many + 復數(shù)名詞 + 一般疑問句+?
(2)how many的用法:
對there be句型中主語的數(shù)量如:some, five, only one等提問時,如果主語是可數(shù)名詞,不管主語是單數(shù)還是復數(shù)一般都用復數(shù)形式提問,因為問話人不知道具體的數(shù)量是多少,而且many只能接可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式,所以be一定要用are,即用“how many + 可數(shù)名詞復數(shù) + are there + 地點/時間狀語?”的句型結(jié)構。
e.g. There is a book on the desk.(用how many改為特殊疑問句)
How many books are there on the desk?
There are seven days in a week.(對劃線部分進行提問)
How many days are there in a week?
(3)記憶口訣
how many在句首,名詞復數(shù)跟著走,一般問句緊相隨,其它成分不要丟。
