Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note- Vocabulary and Useful Expressions学案

重点单词

1. amount

【课文原句】A rich person gives you a large amount of money to use as you like.What will you do?  (P17)

【名师点拨】amount n. 通常用amount of sth，表示“数量；数额”，一般修饰不可数名词，作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。如：

The amount of the money that he has wasted is about $10,000。

【知识拓展】a large amount of与a large number of都可表示“大量的”，但是a large amount of修饰不可数名词；a large number of修饰可数名词，作主语时谓语动词用复数。

In fact, a large amount of fresh water is wasted. 

A large number of issues have been raised at the meeting.
