clothes和clothing的区别（要详细的）

clothes是复数名词,clothing是不可数名词clothes比较表示比较具象,而 clothing是比较抽象的二、clothes 和 clothing 均可表示“衣服”,用作“衣服”的统称,但在用法上有差别：1。clothes 是一个没有单数形式的复数名词,其前不可加不定冠词,也不可加数词,但可用 some,these,those,many,few 等词修饰。如：正：those clothes / few clothes / many clothes误：a clothes / two clothes / three clothes2。clothing 是不可数名词。如：They wear very little clothing。他们衣服穿得很少。3。比较而言：clothes 的含义比较具体,而 clothing 的含义则比较抽象。从语体上看,clothing 比 clothes 更正式。比较：I changed my clothes。我换了衣服。He is washing his clothes。他在洗衣服。Our clothing protects us against the cold。我们的衣服可以御寒。We are well provided with food and clothing。我们吃得好,穿得好。若不考虑其细微区别,两者常可换用(注：一个是复数,一个不可数)。如：He spent a lot of money on clothes [clothing]。他花了许多钱买衣服
