amount和number的区别 两者有哪些不一样

amount和number的区别：a number of+可数名词复数，谓语用复数；the number of+可数名词复数，谓语用单数；an amount of+不可数名词，谓语用单数；the amount of+不可数名词，谓语用单数。

amount和number的区别

这一对词都能用作名词和动词，又都表示“数目”、“总数”之意，故很易混淆。

它们之间的区别是，amount用于不可数名词，表示“量”; number用于可数名词，表示“数”。例：

He has contributed a considerable amount of money to the Chinese University of Hong Kong.(amount为名词)

他捐了一笔为数可观的钱给香港中文大学。
