QUANTIFIERS

QUANTIFIERS

We use quantifiers when we want to give someone information about the number of something: how much or how many. The most common quantifiers are: much, many, (a) little, (a) few, a lot (of), some, any, no, none, most, PLENTY OF.

Some is generally used with affirmative sentences both with countable and uncountable nouns. For example: * There is some cheese in the fridge. * There are some bottles on the table. We can also use "Some" with questions with the expression "would you like...". For example: Would you like some coffee?

Any is always used with negative sentence and questions both with plural countable .nouns and with uncountable nouns.Let's see these examples: * There isn't any wine left. * There aren't any bottles left * Is there any milk? * Are there any chairs here?
