摘自Little Brown Handbook
amount, number
Amount refers to a quantity of something(a singular noun) that can not
be counted. Number refers to countable items(a plural noun). The
amount of tax depends on the number of deduction.
an, and
An is an article. And is a coordinating conjuction . Do not carelessly
omit the d from and.
and, etc.
Et cetera(etc.) means "and the rest"; and etc. therefore is redundant.
