在所有这些表示“很多”的词语中many, much 是最常用的词,它们既可以用于肯定句,也可以用于疑问句和否定句。

例如:

Are there many people in the street?街上有很多人吗?

其它的词语都用于肯定句,

日常会话中常用lots of, a lot of 或plenty of;

正式文体中常用a great many, a (large) number of, a great deal of, scores of 或dozens of 等。

但若肯定句中有too, so, as, very或how 等词修饰时,则必须使用many, much。

例如:

The number of the people who lost their homes reached as many as 250,000. 无家可归的人数多达250,000人。

There is too much work to do.要做的工作太多了。
