托福语法:most的其他用法
英语课
对于most来讲,除了构成某些词最高级外,most的用法有几点需要注意,经常成为改错题的考点:
1. 当most表示大多数时,之前不加the, 并且有两种形式来表示大多数,分别为:
most + 名词,如:most people, most Indian tribes;
most + of + 限定词 + 名词或代词,如:most of his paintings,most of us, most of the modern artists
2. most有时意思等同于very, 此时most之前用不定冠词,如:
a most lovely girl, a most impressive proposal
例题:
(1) The most substances expand in volume when they are heated.
应改为:Most
解释:most只有在表示形容词最高级作定语时需加定冠词,此句表示“大多数”,没必要加the.
(2) The most often flour is made from wheat, but it may also be made from the seeds of other cereal plants.
应改为:most.
解释:the most 一般出现在最高级中, 此句most often为固定说法,意为经常
词汇:cereal: 谷类的
