QUANTIFIERS
Puntúa 50,00
Although you already know some of the quanti ers (some, any, many, much), there are some others that are also
sobre 50,00 quanti ers. Let's see.

Quanti ers are a type of determiner which denote imprecise quantity. They modify nouns or pronouns. 
The most common quanti ers used in English are:

some / any, much, many, a lot...

There are three main types of quanti er:

1. Quanti ers of large quantity

2. Quanti ers of relative quantity

We are going to learn about some of them:

1. Large quantity quanti ers: much, many, lots of, plenty of,

numerous, a large number of, etc.
Much and many

       Much is used with non-count nouns (always in the singular); many is used with count nouns in the plural. (Click here
for the difference between count nouns and non-count nouns).

Examples:
I have many reasons for thinking that this man is innocent is acceptable, but rather formal; most English speakers would
more naturally say:
I have plenty of / a lot of / ample / reasons for thinking .....
Much whisky is of very good quality. This sentence is technically acceptable, but not probable in modern spoken English.
Most people would say (and write):
A lot of whisky / A good proportion of whisky / Plenty of whisky ......
Remember : don't use much or many in a rmative statements, if you can avoid it. Though their use may be possible, it
often sounds very formal, old-fashioned or strange in modern English. On the other hand, much of / many of are
sometimes used in a rmative contexts; and so much / so many and too much / too many are quite acceptable.

Examples:
He has much money is not normal English. Speakers would more naturally say:
He has a lot of money / He has loads of money.

Much of what you have written is very good. The expression "much of" is acceptable in the a rmative; but except in a
formal context, most English-speakers would say (and write) something like :
A lot of what you have written...... A good deal of what you have written.....
With so and too
There is so much poverty in the world - There are too many people in here.

 
Lots of, a lot of, plenty of, a large number of, numerous

These expressions are all more or less synonyms. In the list above, they are arranged in order of formality, going from the
most informal (lots of) to the most formal (numerous). Informal language is more appropriate in dialogue, formal
language in written documents.

Example: Lots of money 

1.2. Quanti ers of relative quantity: most, most of, enough

There are a couple of common quanti ers that express relative or proportional quantity.
Most / most of

These imply more than half of, a majority of, or almost all . They do not mean the same as many / many of.
Example:

Most of my students are men.

Most people don't like rainny days.

 
Enough

Enough implies a su cient quantity; it is used in a rmations, negations and questions.

Example:
We can get tickets for the concert, I've got enough money now.
Have you got enough money for the tickets?
No, I haven't got enough.
