對於most來講,除了構成某些詞最高級外,most的用法有幾點需要注意,經常成為改錯題的考點:
1.當most表示大多數時,之前不加the, 並且有兩種形式來表示大多數,分別為:
most + 名詞,如:most people, most Indian tribes;
most + of + 限定詞+ 名詞或代詞,如:most of his paintings,most of us, most of the modern artists
2. most有時意思等同於very, 此時most之前用不定冠詞,如:
a most lovely girl, a most impressive proposal
例題:
(1) The most substances expand in volume when they are heated.
應改為:Most
解釋:most只有在表示形容詞最高級作定語時需加定冠詞,此句表示“大多數”,沒必要加the.
(2) The most often flour is made from wheat, but it may also be made from the seeds of other cereal plants.
應改為:most.
解釋:the most 一般出現在最高級中, 此句most often為固定說法,意為經常
詞彙:cereal: 穀類的
