- 「How much money」还是「How many money」？可数名词和不可数名词该配哪个量词，一直是马来西亚华人常踩的坑。
- 可数名词有单复数（an apple / two apples），不可数名词没有复数、不能加 a/an（water、rice、information、advice、money 都是常见的坑）。
- 量词跟着可数/不可数走：可数用 a/some/any/how many，不可数用 some/any/how much；否定句才分 many（可数）和 much（不可数），肯定句一般直接用 a lot of。
- some 不只用在肯定句——提供东西或预期对方会答应时，疑问句也用 some，比如 Do you want some coffee?
