Look for, describe and give 3 examples each for the use of:
-how many and how much with quantifiers: lots of, a few, a little
"Many", "much", "few", and "little" are quantifiers that indicate the amount or quantity of something. The use
of "many", "much", "few", and "little" depends on the type of noun being used with it. "Much" and "little" are
used with uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns are nouns that cannot be counted. Some examples of
uncountable nouns are water, air, milk, sugar, and meat. "Many" and "few" are used with countable nouns.
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted as one or more. Some examples of countable nouns are bottle,
cup, desk, chair, book, and table.
"Much" indicates a large amount of something. "Much" is typically used in negative sentences or questions. "Little"
indicates a small amount of something. "Much" and "little" are used with uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns

-What
We can use what to ask for information about things and actions
Example:
What do you want?
What’s she doing? Tell her to stop at once!
What time are you leaving?
Example:
She asked me what my address was.
I wonder what Jim Barfield is doing these day.
We can use what in informal situations to ask someone to repeat something if we don’t hear it or understand it.
Example:
-How
We use how when we introduce direct and indirect questions:
Example:
I haven’t seen you for ages. How are you?
How was the film? Was it as bad as you thought?
Do you know how I can get to the bus station?
In informal speaking we commonly use how about + noun phrase and how about + -ing form when we make
suggestions:
Liz, how about some more fruit juice?
How about going to the concert with us this weekend?
-Where
We use where as a conjunction meaning ‘in the place that’ or ‘in situations that’. The clause with where is a
subordinate clause and needs a main clause to complete its meaning. If the where clause comes before the main
clause, we use a comma:
Where you find a lot of water, you will also find these beautiful insects.
Where you have to pay a deposit, be sure to get a receipt.
-Why
Why is a wh-word. We use why to talk about reasons and explanations.
When we ask for reasons in speaking, we can use the phrase why is that? In informal conversations we often say
why’s that?
A:
Look, the moth is attracted to the light.
B:
Why is that?
A:
I’m not sure.
We can use why ever or why on earth to add emphasis and to show shock or surprise. We usually stress ever and
earth:
A:
Beth has decided to go on holiday by herself this year.
B:
Why ever would anyone want to go on holiday alone?
Why on earth has Julie bought me this expensive present?
In informal contexts we sometimes use what for? with the same meaning of asking for a reason:
A:
Ann’s going to be really upset with me.
B:
What for?
A:
I forgot to call her back last night.
-Who
Who and whom are wh-words. We use them to ask questions and to introduce relative clauses.

We can ask emphatic questions using whoever or who on earth to express shock or surprise. We
stress ever and earth:
Whoever does she think she is, speaking to us like that? (stronger than Who does she think she is?)
Who on earth has left all this rubbish here? (stronger than Who has left all this rubbish here?)
-Whose
Whose is a wh-word. We use whose to ask questions and to introduce relative clauses.
We use whose to ask a question about possession:
Whose birthday is it today?
Whose house was used in the film ‘Gosford Park’?
Whose are these gloves?
We use whose to introduce a relative clause indicating possession by people, animals and things:
John works with that other chap whose name I can’t remember.
Shirley has a 17-year-old daughter whose ambition is to be a photographer.
This is the book whose title I couldn’t remembe
-When
When is a wh-word. We use when to ask questions, as a conjunction and to introduce relative clauses.
We can use when to ask for information about what time something happens:
When did you leave?
When are you going on holiday?
When will you know the result of the exam?
We use when as a conjunction meaning ‘at the time that’. The clause with when is a subordinate clause
(sc) and needs a main clause (mc) to complete its meaning. If the when-clause comes before the main
clause, we use a comma.
In references to the future with when, we use the present simple or the present perfect in the when-clause, not the
future with shall and will:
lOMoARcPSD|8196216
We can use since when to ask at what time something began. We often use it as a response when we are
surprised that something has begun:
A:
Hilary’s working at the Art Museum now.
B:
Really? Since when?
A:
Oh, she’s been there about three months.
-how far
-how long
We use how long to talk about the amount of time something takes.
