QUATIFIERS
Quantifiers
1. WHEN DO WE USE MUCH AND WHEN MANY?
- much: uncountable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
- many: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
- How much money have you got?
- How many dollars have you got?
In informal English these questions are often answered with a lot of, lots of. There is no much difference between the two phrases.
2. WHEN DO WE USE A LITTLE AND WHEN A FEW?
- a little: non countable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
- a few: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
- He has a little money left.
- He has a few dollars left.
COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable vs. Uncountable Nouns
Countable Nouns
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted. Most nouns in English are countable.
Examples:
- I have two dogs.
- Sandra has three cars.
- Jessie has ten dollars.
Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are not counted in English. This usually has to do with the way English speakers think of these nouns. We often picture these nouns as a single concept or one big thing which is hard to divide. Many of these words are countable in other languages, but they ARE NOT countable in English. Generally, we do not use plural forms of these words; however some of these words do end in "s", so don't get confused.
Examples:
- Mack drinks a lot of water.
- Cindy gives great advice.
- Paul enjoys politics. Ends with "s" but uncountable
