a great deal of與a great deal的區(qū)別

區(qū)別在于用法上的不同。

1、a great deal of后面要接名詞，不可單獨(dú)使用，且a great deal of只能修飾不可數(shù)名詞。

例句：

①No one is worth a great deal of sacrifice.

沒(méi)有誰(shuí)值得付出重大的犧牲。

②Running a kitchen involves a great deal of discipline and speed.

料理好廚房需要把一切都安排得規(guī)規(guī)矩矩，且要講求速度。

2、a great deal可以不加名詞，這個(gè)時(shí)候它就被用作副詞了。

例句：

①Exercising the body does a great deal to improve one's health.

鍛煉身體對(duì)增進(jìn)健康大有益處。

②Your contribution means a great deal not only to this organization, but also to the whole world.

你們的貢獻(xiàn)意義重大，不僅是對(duì)于這個(gè)協(xié)會(huì)，而且對(duì)于整個(gè)世界。

既可以+不可數(shù)名詞，又可以+可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)的短語(yǔ)

1、a lot of

2、plenty of (前不加a)

3、a large quantity of加不可數(shù)名詞,單數(shù)謂語(yǔ)

4、quantities of 加不可數(shù)名詞,復(fù)數(shù)謂語(yǔ)
