(1) 修饰可数名词的常用修饰语有：these, those, few, a few, many, a good [great] many, a great [good] number of等。

注：a good [great] many后直接跟名词，没有介词 of。

(2) 修饰可数名词的常用修饰语有：this, that, a few, a little, a bit of, much, no, a great deal of等。

(3) 有些修饰语既可修饰可数名词也可修饰不可数名词：all, some, enough, a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large amount of, a large quantity of等。

(4) 有些名词形式上是复数，但却被用作不可数名词，使用much, little等修饰语：

He hasn't got much brains.他没什么头脑。

He took much pains to do the work.他费了不少心做这工作。

I said I wouldn't want much wages.我说过我不要很多工资。

It's high time you were taught a little manners.该是你学一点礼貌的时候了。

单位词与不可数名词数量表示法。单位词是表示事物个体性的词语，不可数名词通常没有复数形式，也不可以用个数计算，要表示不可数名词的个体性需借助单位词：

a piece of paper 一张纸    a piece of advice一条建议

a piece of news一条消息    an article of furniture一件家具

a cake of soap一块香皂    a slice of meat一块肉

a cup of tea一杯茶        a bottle of ink一瓶墨水

注：不要按汉语习惯在不该用单位词的地方错用单位词，如“一张邮票”只能说 a stamp，而不能说 a piece of stamp。
