he played for some times 这句合法吗 注意是some times 不管意思 就说次数前面能不能加for
我记得我听说过many times 把many换成some可以吗 放在这个句子里呢
One day Mozart saw an old blind street-performer playing the violin in a street corner. He recognize the old man was playing one of his composition(乐曲). （The old man played for some time） but the hat in front of him was still empty-nobody had put any money in it. Mozart asked the old man, “Do you often play compositions by Mozart?” “Yes, sir,” the old man replied, “Now, everybody knows Mozart and likes his music.” “Do you make a living by playing the violin?” The old man said he did, Mozart took over the violin from the old man and began to play.
He played so well that all the passers-by stopped to listen to the wonderful music and soon the old man’s hat was full of money. The old man was full of admiration(羡慕)and felt surprised that a man could play so well. He asked Mozart, “Who are you, sir?” “Your colleague, a poor musician like you.” Then Mozart gave the violin to the old man and went away.

Answer 1

这句话不可以加for,因为play在此是一个及物动词,所以它的后面要跟一个宾语---“玩什么玩了几次”.如果这里play不是及物动词,而是要表达他玩了“一段时间”的话,则for是可以存在的,因为它和后面的时间搭配成时间状语,但是如果是后一种情况的话,times的“s”要去掉,some time才是“一段时间”.
some 可以修饰可数名词,也可以修饰不可数名词,所以在修饰可数名词的时候是可以和many替换的,只不过为了避免与其他短语意思相混淆,一般不这么用
