Question

这个句子中,a lot 作宾语还是做状语?
人教版初一英语下册第11课：
Carol learned a lot about farming .
这个句子中,a lot 作宾语还是做状语.如果做状语,就是修饰learn；如果作宾语,那么介词短语 about farming 就作 a lot 的后置定语.
求指教

Answer 1

此处是状语,修饰 learned,表示“经常学习”.
 
a lot 有两种词性.如果上文已经明确提到一个具体名词,a lot 可以指代该名词,等于 a lot of …的省略.如果上文不存在这样的名词,那么它就是副词,等同于much.
 
插入到不及物动词和介词短语之间的副词短语 a lot 容易与其名词性混淆.判断的方法是是否可以把a lot 调整到介词短语后面,或是否可以用 much 取代.如：
 
They saw a lot of her last month（上个月他们常常看见她）可以改写为——
 
　　They saw of her a lot last month.【see of 表示“常见到”】
　　They saw much of her last month.
　　They saw of her last month.much
 
He talks a lot about his own children（他经常谈到自己的孩子）可以改写为——
 
　　He talks about his own children a lot.
　　He talks much about his own children.
　　He talks about his own children much.
 
Carol learned a lot about farming（卡罗尔经常学习种田）也可以改写为——
 
　　Carol learned about farming a lot.
　　Carol learned much about farming.
　　Carol learned about farming much.
