a large number of 和a large amount of的区别

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

简而言之，前者后面接可数名词；后者后面接不可数名词；二者表达的意思是，都是大量的。
1、a large number of sb/sth，后面的谓语动词，必须用复数形式：
A large number of people have applied for the job.

2、a large amount of sth，尤与不可数名词连用：
a large amount of time/money/information/help, etc
a large amount of sth = a large quantity of sth

需要特殊说明的是： the number of sb/sth 后面的谓语动词，用单数；而 a number of sb/sth 后面的谓语动词，需要用复数。
