several修饰可数名词，several表示两三个以上，但是不多，所以后边必须跟可数名词。

several

英：[ˈsevrəl]；美：[ˈsevrəl]

det./pron.几个;数个;一些

adj.各自的;分别的

several的用法

1.several意为”three or more”,不超过四､五个｡a few同several近义,但a few表示a small，number(of),意为“少数”,所表示的数目或数量要比several多些｡一周的时间可以说a few days,但不能说several days;可以说a few of the six hundred workers,但一般不说several of the six hundred workers｡several单独作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数｡

2.例如:Several fishes in the lake every week.每周都有几个人在这个湖里钓鱼｡

several表示“不同的,各自的”时,可修饰单数名词或复数名词｡

例如:Each has his several idea.每人都有不同的想法｡

They went their several ways, each minding his own business.他们各走各的路,各管自己的事｡
