四级英语语法名词使用方法详解 8：means 使用方法易错点有这样一道题，请看看：every possible means ________ been tried，and we find only ________ this means can we do it well.a。 have，in b。 have，by c。 has，in d. has,by此题应选 d。其他几项均容易被误选。这里重要波及名词 means(方式，措施，手段）的使用方法与搭配：1. 单复数同形(永远有词尾-s）。若用作主语,其谓语的数需根据句意来确定。比较：all possible means have been tried. 所有也许的措施都已经试过了。every possible means has been tried。 每种也许的措施都已经试过了。若句意不能明确地表明主语的单复数,其谓语则用单数或复数均可:is ［are］ there any other means of doing it？ 做这事尚有其他的什么措施吗?2。 表达以某种方式、措施或手段，用介词 by:only by this means can you do it well. 只有通过这种措施你才能做好此事。有时用 by means of，意为:用……,依托……：thoughts are expressed by means of words. 思想靠语言来体现。3. 表达做某事的措施或手段，多接“of＋（动)名词”:but they had no means of cooking them. 不过他们没有措施来把它们煮熟。taking a plane is the quickest means of getting there。 去那儿最快的措施是坐飞机。
