a large amount of 和 large amounts of 在词义上没有区别，但在与之搭配的谓语动词上有单数和复数的差别。
Amount 是一个很有意思的单词。它用来表达“量”的概念，而且是用于表达不可数名词的“量”。然而这个词本身却是可数的，而且用在句子中会改变所描述的不可数名词，使其变成可数的语法形式与谓语动词进行搭配：
My money was wasted
A large amount of money was wasted
Large amounts of money were wasted
用于修饰 amount 的形容词要用 large/small，而不能用 big/little：
We used only a small amount of water
They gave out large amounts of food
“a amount of”这个词组中，amount不是元音开头吗？为什么前面用a
单价：monovalent
金额：amount of money、sum of money
具体解析：
1、monovalent
英文发音：[ˌmɑnəˈveɪlənt]
中文释义：单价
例句：
We have improved monovalent vaccines for targeted immunization
我们有经改进的单价疫苗用于有针对性的免疫。
2、amount of money
英文发音：[əˈmaʊnt ɒv ˈmʌni]
中文释义：金额;款额
例句：
That amount of money won't be enough, not by a long chalk
那笔金额是差得太远了。
3、sum of money
英文发音：[sʌm ɒv ˈmʌni]
中文释义：金额
例句：
She won a fantastic sum of money in the casino
她在赌场赢了一笔很炫的金额。
扩展资料
词汇解析：
1、amount
英文发音：əˈmaʊnt]
中文释义：n总额;数量
例句：
This is more than twice the total amount of aid distributed worldwide
这是两倍以上的援助总额的全球发行。2、sum
英文发音：[sʌm]
中文释义：n金额;款项;和;总和;总数;全部，一切(尤指数量不大)
例句：
The sum is wrong, but I can't see where I went wrong
总数错了，可是我看不出哪里算错了。
amounts可数吗
首先清楚一点，在英语中语言习惯大于语法规则的原则，作为非专业人员，固定短语请你不要追究它为什么是这样，因为这是一种语言习惯，就像我们不追究成语为什么是这样一样。其次，该短语是遵循语法的，a/an用于元音因素（有14个，指音标中的元音）开头的单词，不是元音字母（只有5个AEIOU）
求这些单词的词性和例句
不可数：表示总数、总额、总值
You will receive a bill for the full amount
可数：表示数量
We've had an enormous amount of help from people

amount普通用词，与quantity近义，但强调整体，指把所有数量、重量及度量归并在一起得出的总数。
number普通用词，指人或物的数目，强调数的概念。
