howmuch与howmany的区别

how much与how many的区别在于:
how many 后接可数名词复数形式,而how much 后接不可数名词。

例如:
-How many people are there in your family
你家有几口人
-There are five.五口人。

-How many birds can you see in the picture
图画中你能看见多少只鸟
-Only one.仅看见一只鸟。

how much 是一个常见的特殊疑问词组,它的意思为“多少”,表示数量,其后面接不可数名词,也可单独使用,它在初中课本里的用法主要有:
1、用来询问事物的数量,后接不可数名词。

例如:
How much milk is there in the glass
玻璃杯里有多少牛奶
How much bread is there on the table
桌子上有多少面包
2、用来询问事物的重量。

例如:
-How much do you want to buy 你想要买多少
-Two kilos.两公斤。

-How much does the pig weigh这头猪多重
-Eighty kilos.八十公斤。

3、用来询问数字计算的结果,相当于what。

例如:
-How much is three plus one三加一等于多少
-It's four.等于四。

-How much is eight minus three八减三等于多少
-It's five.等于五。

4、how much 意为“多少钱”时,可单独使用,也可构成词组how much money,
但英语中常省略money,用来询问某物的价钱、价格。

例如:
How much is your new computer
你的新电脑多少钱
How much (money) did you pay for the English grammar book
买这本英语语法书,你付了多少钱
注意:
(1)how much 后接be动词时,be 是单数还是复数,取决于be之后的名词。

例如:
-How much are the parrots这些胡萝卜多少钱
-Two yuan a kilo.两元一公斤。

-How much is this coat 这件大衣多少钱
-One hundred and fifty-three yuan. 一百五十三元。

(2)how much询问价格时,它的回答若是中国的货币单位应采用汉语拼音yuan, fen来表示,几角常采用几十分来表示,字母用小写,且不用复数。

例如:-How much is the eraser这块橡皮擦多少钱
-Ninety two fen.九角二分。

(3)在买卖过程中,买方觉得太贵不买,常用That's much too dear.作答。

如果觉得比较合适,常用That's (very, quite cheap.
sheep are there eating grass
pieces of bread should be enough
people are there in your family
orange is there in the glass
解析:
当疑问词后面的名词是可数名词的复数时,用How many,当是不可数名词时,就用How much
many 因为sheep是单复数同型
many bread是不可数的,但pieces of bread 指许多片面包,前面有了个量词,就是可数的了。

pieces的“s”也可以看出是可数的,因此用How many many people是复数,它的单数是person, 所以用How many
much orange指橘子的时候是可数的,但在这里,根据题意,是指饮料里的桔汁,所以是不可数,一次用How much。
