    Quantifiers

    The quantifiers indicate a name. They are responses to the question " How many ? " . Like articles, quantifiers define a name and are always placed before the name . Some may be used only with countable nouns , others only with countless names and others with both.

    Cuantificador Many Much Some Any No, none A lot of/Lots of Little/A little Few/A few

    Contable

    Incontable

    X X X X X X X X X X X X

    Many
    Meaning : lots

    Usage: It expresses the idea of wealth . It is used mainly in negative and interrogative sentences with plural count noun . You can use "many " in affirmative sentences , although not very common . Normally , we use other quantifiers like "a lot . " Examples: negative phrase : There are not many tourists . interrogative phrase : How many cats do you have ? affirmative phrase : We have many friends .

    Much
    Meaning : lots Use: As "many " , expresses the idea and used many especially in negative and interrogative sentences . The difference with "many " is that we use " much" only singular uncountable nouns . You can use " much" in affirmative sentences , although it would be more formal and not so common .

    Examples: negative phrase : There is not much time . interrogative phrase : How much money does he have? affirmative phrase : We have much to do ! As "many , " can also be combined with "too " or "so" to express the idea of too much or a point of view on an amount . Examples: There is too much work. We have so much work to do!

    Some
    Meaning : Some , some

    Usage: It is used both for names or singular countable nouns to countable names or plural. It is used in affirmative and interrogative sentences ( to say something) , is replaced "any" in negative or interrogative sentences . It means an indefinite amount , but limited . Examples: Phrase affirmative / count noun : She has some apples . affirmative phrase / name countless : There is some milk in the kitchen . Phrase interrogative / count noun : Are there some tourists ? Phrase interrogative / uncountable name : Would you like some coffee ?

    Any
    Meaning : Some , none Usage: Used in the same contexts as "some , " but in negative or interrogative sentences . Examples: Phrase negative / count noun : I do not have any cats . negative phrase / name countless : He does not have any money . Phrase interrogative / count noun : Are there any changes? Phrase interrogative / uncountable name : Is there any milk?

    No, None
    Meaning : No, none Use : Unlike the particle "no, " " none " can be used without being accompanied by a name , accounting or uncountable. Therefore used to go to the end of the sentence and the only answer to a question that refers to quantities. Examples: accounting Name : How many pencils are there ? None . accounting Name : There are no pencils. Name uncountable : How much money do you have ? None . Name uncountable : I have no money .

    A lot of / Lots of
    Meaning : Much Use : express large amount idea . Can be used with names or countable and uncountable nouns . Unlike "many " and " much" , not use in interrogative sentences . In general , "lots of " is more informal . Examples: accounting Name : I have a lot of books. accounting Name : He does not have a lot of books. Name uncountable : I have lots of money . Name uncountable : I do not have a lot of money .

    Little / A Little
    Meaning : Little / s Use: Express a small amount and are used only with uncountable nouns . The option to use "little " or "a little " reflect an opinion on the amount . If you are using "a little " means a positive opinion on the amount and if you use "little " implies a negative opinion. Examples: interrogative phrase : Do you have a little money ? affirmative phrase : We have little time .

    Few / A few
    Meaning : Little / s Use: Express a small number. "A few " may indicate a sufficient number . Are used only with countable nouns . As we have seen above , the option of using "few " or "a few " reflects the opinion on the amount expressed . "Few " means the amount of negatively and "a few " is described positively. Examples: interrogative phrase : Do you have a few dollars ? affirmative phrase :

    There are few tourists here today
