English 5th Level: Unit 1 - More on quantifiers!

Morning to everyone,

Here you have an extensive explanation on quantifiers and how to use each one of them. First of all, remember that the English language makes a distinction between countable and uncountable nouns.

In the following lines, the use of the different quantifiers is going to be tackled in depth:

SOME

Siempre se usa en frases afirmativas.

- Con sustantivos contables se usa para indicar "algunos o algunas". Por ejemplo: There are some pencils on the table.

- Con sustantivos incontables se usa para expresar "algo de". Por ejemplo: There is some milk in the fridge.

ANY

- Con sustantivos contables se usa para decir “ningún/ninguna” cuando la frase es negativa: There aren't any insects. O “algunos/algunas” si aparece en una pregunta: Are there any crocodiles in the lake?

- Con sustantivos incontables se usa para expresar “nada de” cuando la oración es negativa: I don't have any money. O “algo de” cuando se usa en una pregunta: Do you have any money?

Tened en cuenta que en algunas preguntas se usa "some" en vez de "any" cuando se está ofreciendo algo: Do you want some tea?

MANY

- Con nombres contables se usa para indicar mucha cantidad. Se puede usar en oraciones afirmativas: I have many friends, negativas: There aren't many oranges, y también preguntas: Are there many candles in the room?

MUCH

Se usa para indicar mucha cantidad con sustantivos incontables y en frases negativas: There isn't much water, y también interrogativas: Is there much honey in the jar?

A LOT OF

Se usa para indicar mucha cantidad y siempre en frases afirmativas. Se puede usar tanto para sustantivos contables: There are a lot of presents!, como incontables: I have a lot of patience.

(A) FEW

Ambas se usan con sustantivos contables en plural para dar la idea de poca cantidad. “A few“ indica que la cantidad es pequeña pero suficiente: I have a few toys. “Few“ indica que la cantidad es pequeña pero insuficiente: I only have a few friends.

(A) LITTLE

Ambas se usan con sustantivos incontables para indicar poca cantidad. “A little“ indica que la cantidad es pequeña pero suficiente: I have a little free time today. “Little“ indica que la cantidad es pequeña pero insuficiente: Homeless people have very little money.
