Many a man is fit for the job.

It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent.
So short a time.
Too long a distance.
c. quite,rather與單數(shù)名詞連用,冠詞放在其后。
但當(dāng)rather,quite 前仍有形容詞,不定冠詞放其前后均可。如:quite a lot
d. 在as,though 引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句中,當(dāng)標(biāo)語為形容詞修飾的名詞時,不定冠詞放形容詞后:
Brave a man though he is,he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他盡管勇敢,可見到蛇還是發(fā)抖。
當(dāng)名詞被比較級形容詞修飾時,不定冠詞通常置于比較級形容詞之后。
