A great deal of money was spent.花了大筆的錢。

A great deal of water is needed.需要大量的水。

2、a lot of...許多...，通常用于口語，后面接復數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞用單數(shù)還是復數(shù)由后面接的名詞形式?jīng)Q定。例句如下：

3、plenty of...大量的...,許多...，后面接復數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞用單數(shù)還是復數(shù)視后接的名詞形式而定。必須注意的是，plenty of前面不加a，plenty本身也不用復數(shù)形式。例句如下：
