询问价格时price的单复数问题

询问价格时我们可以说:

What's the price of the+名词单数?

如果对复数价格提问,有 What are the prices of the shoes? 这种说法吗?还是说 What's the price of the shoes?

如果询问苹果、桌子等其他可数名词价格时,用 What are the prices of the apples / desks? 行不行的呢?还是干脆都用单数的呢?

price表示“价格”、“价钱”的意思时,是可数名词,复数形式是 prices,例如:

Prices are going up. 物价正上涨。(《薄冰英语惯用法词典》 price 词条)

询问价格时我们可以说:

What's the price of the...?

What price is the...?

How much is the+ 单数名词 + ?

How much are the + 复数名词 + ?

例如:

What's / What is the price of the car?

= What price is the car?

= How much is the car?

这辆汽车的价格是多少?

How much are the apples?这些苹果多少钱?

【注意】the price of the 后面可以接单数名词或者复数名词,例如:

The price of the vegetables is going up. 蔬菜涨价了。

The prices of the watches are very low at that store.

=Watches are very cheap at that store. 那家店的手表很便宜。(《外研社英汉多功能词典》price词条)

所以,What are the prices of the shoes? / What's the price of the shoes? / What are the prices of the apples / desks? 也是正确的。

但是,不能说:How much is the price of...?
