aamountof和theamountof的谓语动词是单数还是复数

如题所述

一般来说,the amount of加名词,其谓语动词用单数,因为真正的主语是amount。
至于an amount/amounts of,谓语通常取决于amount本身是单数还是复数。一般来说,an amount of后面更多地跟不可数名词,比如:
A large amount of money WAS spent on the bridge.

Large amounts of money WERE spent on the bridge.

an amount of 后应该跟不可数名词,一般属于无生命的东西.表示“大量的”意思.谓语动词用单数.

the amount of 是指某个物体的具体的数量,后面一般加名词.表示“...的量”意思.谓语动词用单数.

对比以下几个词语
a number of +复形名词” ; “a average (total) + of +复形名词”结构中,后接复形动词;
但在“the number of +复形名词” ;“the average (total) + of +复形名词” 结构中,后接单形动词.本回答被提问者采纳
