WEEK 20 – SUMMARY

Teacher: Nouhayla

Quantifiers
Quantifiers are expressions that we use to speak about quantities without a precising that
quantity exactly.
Ex: I have 5 markers - Using a number means that the quantity is exact
I have some markers – Using a quantifier means the quantity is not exact.
-depending on the noun in our sentence, we choose the appropriate quantifier. The noun
needs to be categorized as ‘countable’ or ‘uncountable’. We choose the appropriate
quantifier after that.
The order of quantifiers from high to low is:

a lot of
Countable Uncountable
much / many

a lot of a lot of
some
many much ( - ) (?)
a few/ a little
some some
a few a little
any
any any
