most与most of的用法比较
most与most of的区别在许多情况下与所修饰的名词是否带有限定词(如冠词、指示代词、物主代词、名词所有格等)有关,具体说来,应注意以下几点:
若所修饰的名词前没有限定词,通常要用most。
如:
Most people agree with me. 多数人同意我的意见。
Most cheese is made from cow’s milk. 奶酪大都是用牛奶做的。Most people work from nine to five.
大多数人从9点工作到5点。但是,在习惯上不带冠词的专有名词(如人名和地名等)或抽象名词(如学科名词等)前,要用most of,不用most。
如:
Most of George seemed to be covered with hair. 乔治身上好像大部分地方都长毛。
Most of Wales was without electricity last night. 昨天夜里,威尔士多数地区都停电了。
若所修饰的名词前带有限定词,则用most of,不能只用most。
如:
Most of my friends live abroad. 我的朋友大多数住在国外。
Most of the people here know each other. 这里大多数人互相认识。
He’s eaten two pizzas and most of a cold chicken. 他吃了两张比萨饼和大半只冷鸡。
Most of those workers have still been unable to find jobs. 这批工人中大多数仍未能找到工作。
注意要不按汉语思维电影,将限定词放在most之前。
若直接用在代词之前,要用most of,不用most。
如:
Most of us thought he was wrong. 我们大多数人认为他错了。
Most of them probably eat too much meat. 他们大多数人都吃太多的肉了。
He has a lot of free time—he spends most of it in the garden. 他空闲时间很多——大都消磨在花园里了。
注意,在关系代词前也只能用most of,不用most。另外,在连接代词what引导的从句前也是用most of,不用most。
如果意思明确,most后所修饰的名词可以省略,但most of后所修饰的名词永远不能省略,也就是说,如果是不修饰名词而单独使用,只能用most,不用most of。
如:
A few people were killed in the fire, but most were saved. 在那场火灾中,有几个人被烧死,但大部分人都得救了。
Some potatoes have been harvested, but most are still in the ground. 一些土豆已经收获了,但大多数仍然在地里。
most (of) …用作主语时,其谓语的数需根据它所修饰或代表的名词的数来确定。
如:
Most of her books were stolen. 她的大部分书被偷走了。
Most of her money was stolen. 她的大部分钱被走偷了。
most与most of修饰名词时有时在含义上有差别,即前者多表示泛指,后者多表示特指。
比较:
Most people like to spend Christmas at home. 多数人喜欢在家里过圣诞节。
Most of the people I know like to spend Christmas at home. 我所认识的人当中,多数人喜欢在家里过圣诞节。
区别:
1.若所修饰的名词前没有限定词,通常要用most,不用most of。

如:Most of my friends live abroad. 我的朋友大多数住在国外。

对于可数名词来说,如果是单数形式,不能直接在其前使用most,而应使用“most of+限定词+单数可数名词”的形式。
如:It was wet and windy for most of the week.
一周大半时间都是又下雨又刮风。
3.若直接用在代词之前,要用most of,不用most。
