a great/good many后面的谓语要用复数 　　mang a后面的谓语要用单数 　　A great many scientists have sacrificed their lives for science.
　　Many a scientist has sacrificed his life for science.
　　虽然上述用法看起来比较遥,主要是收到前面冠词a和many的影响,如果实在不能理解,可以这样记many后面都加复数,随后的谓语跟many后面的复指,a后面加 　　单数,谓语用单数第三人称,所以这两个短语的谓语都采用就近原则.
　　同时,平时我们很少看到这类用法,所以遥可以用many,lots of就好啦嘛,又方便还不会错.
　　7.
no more than 有两个意思,平时看到较多的应该是仅仅,只不过比如 　　His whole school education added up to no more than one year.

杰克和约翰谁都不勤奋.
　　not more than如果连用也是表示至多,不超过的意思 　　Not more than 1,000 people attended the lecture.
　　但是要是拆开用变成not morethan的形式,就表示不如,前者不如后者的意思 　　比如例句: 　　It is not more a river than a stream.
