1 Adjective forms
When expressions of measurement, amount and quantity are used as adjectives, they are normally singular. 当度量单位,数量等被用作形容词时,通常用单数形式。如:
a ten-mile walk
a twenty-pound note

Possessives are often used in expressions of time.在时间的表述中,经常用所有格。
a weeks holiday
two hours delay
2 hundred, thousand, dozen, etc
Typical mistake: she had at least four hundreds of lovers.

She had at least four hundred lovers.
It cost several thousand pounds.
In other cases, the plural form is hundreds, dozens ,etc. 在其他情况下,用复数形式,后面通常跟着of. 如:
Ive seen it hundreds of times.

Half can be used before a noun, with or without of .
在名词前面,half可以跟of连用,也可以单独使用。

Half 可以用作代词,后面不跟名词。只有当我们明确知道说的是哪个half的情况下,才可以在half前面加冠词the.
