Question

______  adults began to learn English in this small town.

A．Thousand of

B．Thousands of

C．Thousand from

D．Thousands from

Answer 1

B

當hundred,thousand這些詞與具體數字連用時，習慣上用單數，而且也不后接介詞of。如：He was prepared to pay two million. 他愿意支付200萬。當這些詞不與具體數字連用，而是表示不確定的泛指數時，則不僅要要用復數，而且要后接介詞of，然后才能接名詞。如：The sun was shining. Thousands of people were lying on the beach. 陽光燦爛，數以千計的人躺在海灘上。
