 QUANTIFIERS
• Quantifiers are adjectives and
adjectival phrases that
describe quantity of different

only go with countable nouns
(cars, people, books ), and
others can only go with
uncountable nouns (sand,
sugar, recomendations).

 PAST TIME ADVERBIALS
• The association of the Past Tense with adverbials that tell us when something
happened is very important. Adverbials used with the past tense must refer to past
(not present) time. So that adverbials which link the present (before now, so far, till
now, yet) are not used with past tenses.
Some adverbials (yesterday, last summer & combinations) are used only with past
tenses: I saw Jane yesterday/last summer.
Ago, meaning 'back from now', can combine with a variety of expressions to refer to
the past: two years ago; six months ago; ten minutes ago; a long time ago
I met Robert Parr many years ago in Czechoslovakia.
The Simple Past is often used with when to ask and answer questions:
When did you learn about it? - When I saw it in the papers.
When often points to a definite contrast with the present:
I played football every day when I was a boy.
Other adverbials can be used with past tenses when they refer to past time, but can
be used with other tenses as well:
adverbs: I always liked Gloria / Did you ever meet Sonia? / I never met Sonia.

adverbial/prepositional phrases: We left at 4 o'clock. We had our holiday in July.

adverbial clauses: I waited till he arrived / I met him when I was at college.
as + adverb + as: I saw him as recently as last week.
