quantifiers quantifiers are words used
before a noun to indicate its amount or
quantity there are specific wanted fires
for countable nouns and countable nouns
and for both there are some rules which
apply to the use of quantifiers we need
to be careful in using them since not
all are used in the same way the
following are some of the most common
types of quantifiers for countable nouns
we have many several a few and a large
number of foreign countable nouns we
have much little a bit and a large
amount of for both countable uncountable
nouns we have some a lot of a plenty of
and enough notice that for countable
nouns we use a large number of well for
an countable noun a large amount of
the following are examples of sentences
using quantifiers for countable nouns
the first one many dogs were rescued
with the Animal Center yesterday and a
large number of students will graduate
today both dogs in students are
countable nouns that's why we use the
quantifiers many and a large number of
foreign countable nouns we have how much
money do you need and try not to put a
large amount of salt in what you're
cooking in the sentences both money and
salt and countable that's why the
quantifiers much and a large amount of
are used for both countable and
uncountable nouns I sold some of my
paintings and I spilled some of my beer
paintings are countable nouns while beer
is an uncountable noun but if you've
noticed some is used in both sentences
another one a lot of letters came from
me today and mrs. Jones always gives us
a lot of advice a lot of can be used in
both countable and uncountable nouns

it a large amount of a bit or a few the
correct answer is a few dad bought a few
oranges today why because oranges
accountable nouns and a large amount of
in a bit or
only used for uncountable nouns the next
one I don't have blank time left is it
several much or many the correct answer
is much I don't have much time left
why because time is an uncountable noun
so we can use several and many since
they're only used for countable nouns
the last one I can give you blank
information about that issue is it much
enough or a lot of the correct answer is
all three of them why because
information is an accountable noun much
is used for in countable noun well
enough and a lot of are both used for
countable and uncountable nouns that's
why all three of them can be used
