Many a student____seen this painting.
A. has B. was C. have D. were
Parse answer A.Sentence meaning: Many students have seen this painting.Check the numerical agreement between the subject and the predicate. Many a student means "more than one student". Although it means plural, the predicate verb should be in the singular third person form; there is an object this painting after seen, which indicates that the sentence is in active voice, so options B and D are wrong; options C, have is inconsistent with the subject in number.
In spoken language, many is usually only used in negative sentences, interrogative sentences or conditional adverbial clauses; in affirmative sentences, many only modifies the subject, not as a predicative, and is often used in conjunction with how, too, as, so; many can often be used A lot of, a good many, a great many, a number of, etc. instead.When modifying many/much+nouns, when using so instead of such a good/great many to directly modify a plural noun, of cannot be added; but when it is followed by a limited noun or pronoun, of should be added, which is the same as many of.Example: Many trades come from Xinjiang.Many comrades are from Xinjiang. /VVe received a good many offers of support.We have received many suggestions for support. Although "many a" means "many", it is followed by a singular countable noun, and the verb should also be singular.Example: Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks.Many ships were wrecked on these reefs.If the comparative degree of an adjective modifies a countable noun, the adverbial of degree cannot use much, but many. The words many and much both mean many, but many modifies countable nouns, which is opposite to few; much modifies uncountable nouns, which is opposite to little.Example: lt takes many more hours to go there by train than by plane, it takes a few more hours to go there by train than by plane.

A． mean has B． means has
C. mean have D. means have

Every is only used with singular countable nouns, and means is a word that ends in "s" and has the same singular and plural forms.When these or all modify means, use the plural form of the predicate verb, and when every+ means, use the singular third-person form of the predicate verb.For options A and C, mean is a verb, and for option D, the form of the verb have is inconsistent with every means.

more of does not directly modify nouns, it should be used in front of nouns with qualifiers, or in front of personal pronouns, otherwise only more should be used without adding of. More than one should be followed by a singular noun, and the verb after it should also be singular.If you write 虹more plus a plural noun and then than one, the verb should be plural.Example: More persons than one have been late.More than one person was late.Generally speaking, "more+adjective primary level" is not used to replace those situations that can add -er to the end of the primary adjective to form a comparative level.For example: more clever is worse than cleverer; more common is worse than commoner, but when emphasizing the meaning of an adjective itself, its comparative level should be formed with more + the original form of the adjective. Omuch can modify the comparative degree of adjectives and adverbs, and can also modify more+uncountable nouns, but when modifying more+plural nouns, you should use many instead of much.Example: She sings much better than the others.She sings much better than others. more and more can mean "more and more...", followed by a polysyllabic adjective or the original form of an adverb.In the case of a monosyllabic or partially disyllabic word, the comparative form of the word is repeated.

Take an umbrella when you go to Seattle, for it rains___there.
A. frequently
C.most of times
B． as frequent
D． much time
Parse answer A.Sentence meaning: Take an umbrella when you go to Seattle, because it often rains there. Frequently adverbs modify verbs, B and C are not correct collocations. C should be most of the time. Item D much time is a lot of time, which does not conform to the meaning of the sentence.
Most is used to form the superlative of polysyllabic adjectives and adverbs.The superlative of adjectives can be preceded by the, and the superlative of adverbs can be omitted.Example: More persons than one have been late.More than one person was late. Most can be used as "very, very", which is equivalent to very, and can be used to modify adjectives without adding definite articles.If modifying a noun, an indefinite article can be used before it. When most is used as a noun, it means "most, most", but as an adverb, it means "most, very, very", etc. If you need to use an adverb to mean "most, most, most", you should use mostly .Example: She uses her car mostly for going to the shops.Most of her car is used for shopping.

Many a student____seen this painting.
A. has B. was C. have D. were
Parse answer A.Sentence meaning: Many students have seen this painting.Check the numerical agreement between the subject and the predicate. Many a student means "more than one student". Although it means plural, the predicate verb should be in the singular third person form; there is an object this painting after seen, which indicates that the sentence is in active voice, so options B and D are wrong; options C, have is inconsistent with the subject in number.
In spoken language, many is usually only used in negative sentences, interrogative sentences or conditional adverbial clauses; in affirmative sentences, many only modifies the subject, not as a predicative, and is often used in conjunction with how, too, as, so; many can often be used A lot of, a good many, a great many, a number of, etc. instead.When modifying many/much+nouns, when using so instead of such a good/great many to directly modify a plural noun, of cannot be added; but when it is followed by a limited noun or pronoun, of should be added, which is the same as many of.Example: Many trades come from Xinjiang.Many comrades are from Xinjiang. /VVe received a good many offers of support.We have received many suggestions for support. Although "many a" means "many", it is followed by a singular countable noun, and the verb should also be singular.Example: Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks.Many ships were wrecked on these reefs.If the comparative degree of an adjective modifies a countable noun, the adverbial of degree cannot use much, but many. The words many and much both mean many, but many modifies countable nouns, which is opposite to few; much modifies uncountable nouns, which is opposite to little.Example: lt takes many more hours to go there by train than by plane, it takes a few more hours to go there by train than by plane.

Every____been tried to save the patient.
A． mean has B． means has
C. mean have D. means have
Parsing the answer to the meaning of the sentence: In order to save the patient, every method has been tried. Every is only used with singular countable nouns, and means is a word that ends in "s" and has the same singular and plural forms.When these or all modify means, use the plural form of the predicate verb, and when every+ means, use the singular third-person form of the predicate verb.For options A and C, mean is a verb, and for option D, the form of the verb have is inconsistent with every means.
Means is a noun with the same shape in singular and plural. When it is modified by every, it should be singular.To express "in this way", you can use by this means or in this way, and the prepositions in the two phrases are not interchangeable.

more of does not directly modify nouns, it should be used in front of nouns with qualifiers, or in front of personal pronouns, otherwise only more should be used without adding of. More than one should be followed by a singular noun, and the verb after it should also be singular.If you write 虹more plus a plural noun and then than one, the verb should be plural.Example: More persons than one have been late.More than one person was late.Generally speaking, "more+adjective primary level" is not used to replace those situations that can add -er to the end of the primary adjective to form a comparative level.For example: more clever is worse than cleverer; more common is worse than commoner, but when emphasizing the meaning of an adjective itself, its comparative level should be formed with more + the original form of the adjective. Omuch can modify the comparative degree of adjectives and adverbs, and can also modify more+uncountable nouns, but when modifying more+plural nouns, you should use many instead of much.Example: She sings much better than the others.She sings much better than others. more and more can mean "more and more...", followed by a polysyllabic adjective or the original form of an adverb.In the case of a monosyllabic or partially disyllabic word, the comparative form of the word is repeated.

When most is used as a noun, it means "most, most", but as an adverb, it means "most, very, very", etc. If you need to use an adverb to mean "most, most, most", you should use mostly .Example: She uses her car mostly for going to the shops.Most of her car is used for shopping.
