The determiner is an important noun modifier
which contextualizes a noun, often in terms of
quantity and possession

QUANTIFIERS are words that precede and modify

nouns. They tell us how many or how much.
Selecting the correct quantifier depends on your
understanding the distinction between Count and
Non-Count Nouns.
with count nouns: with both count and non counts
many …… All ……
a few …… Most of ……
several …… A lot of ……
a couple of …… Enough ……
none of the …… Some ……

with non-count nouns:

not much ……
a little ……
a bit of ……
a good deal ……
a great deal ……
no ……
Using a determiner, give your answer to the
following questions:

How many people have more than 10 siblings ?

How much pollution is there in a city’s river?
How many people are deaf in Colombia?
How much stress do you get in a busy day?
How many friends of yours are older than you?
How much time does it take you to get home?
How many people are interested in soccer?
How much fun do you get in a museum?
 HOW MANY AND HOW MUCH

When we want to ask for prices we can

use how much or how many but:

«How much» is used with uncountable

nouns such as money.
«How many» is used with countable
nouns such as dollars.
Excuse me, How much is that red watch?
It’s $ 80.25 (eighty twenty five)

And How much are those black pants?

They’re $ 56.00 dollars

Excuse me, How much does this red watch cost?

It’s $ 80.25 (eighty dollars and twenty five cents)

And How much do those black pants cost?

They’re $ 56.00
 We use this kind of question
specially when we are tourists
in a foreing country and we
don’t have the currency which
is exchanged
Excuse me, How many dollars does this red watch
cost?
It costs $ 80.25

And How many dollars do those black

pants cost?
They cost $ 56.00
We can use one as a noun or an adjective.
Here «one» is similar to «a» or «an»

I have one brother = I have a brother

My baby is one = my baby is a year old
We can use one/ones as a pronoun.

To replace a noun you have previosly identified.
