二、修饰不可数名词:
e.g.There is a great deal of snow on the ground. A million dollars is a large amount of money to me. 记忆技巧:much,本身不可数;deal,amount都是"量”,没法量。所以加不可数
三、修饰可/不可数名词均可:

e.g. A lot of/Lots of people(可数)went swimming yesterday.
A lot of/Lots of work(不可数) is to be done this week.

4)great/large quantities of,不管后边加不可数名词还是可数名词复数,谓动都用复数形式。
