We use quantifierstoexpressthe idea of quantityornumber, butlet’sseehowto use themespecifically.
MANY We use manytoexpressthe idea of a bigquantity. Itisused in negativesentences and questions (whenthey are requestsoroffers) withuncountablenouns and with plural countablenouns. Note: Itispossibleto use many in affirmativesentences, butitis more commonto use a lot.
MUCH Muchexpressesalsothe idea of a bigquantity and itisused in negativesentences and questions. Muchisonlyusedwithuncountablenouns. Itispossibleto use much in affirmativesentences, butthiswould be whenourphraseis more formal and itisnotverycommon.
SOME Itisusedwithuncountablenounsor plural countablenouns, in affirmative and interrogativesentences (justifwewanttoconfirmsomething). Itisusedforanindefinitequantitybutlimited.
ANY We use any in thesameway as some, but in negative and interrogativesentences.
No/ none We use no, as a negativemeaning. Unlikeno, we can use nonebyitself, so itiscommonto use it at theend of phrases and as ananswerforquestionswhichmakereferencetoquantities.
A LOT OF/ LOTS OF They are usedwhenwewanttoexpress a reallybigquantity. It can be usedwithcountable and uncountablenouns. We do not use them in questions. Generally, lots of is more informal.
LITTLE/ A LITTLE We use themtotalkabout a smallquantity and we use themonlywithuncountablenouns. Thedifferencebetweenthem shows anopinionaboutquantity. We use a littlefor a positive opinion and littleexpresses a negativeopinion.
Few/ a few Theyexpress a smallnumber. A fewcan be enough, and itisusedonlywithcountablenouns. As in thepreviousslide, fewexpresses a negativeopinion and a fewdescribes it in a positive way.
