Introduction to the topic
Quantifiers are words that tell us how much or how many of something we have. They are very useful in English because they help us describe quantity in everyday life. We use quantifiers when we talk about: Food and drinks → a little sugar, a lot of water Objects → many books, several chairs People → some friends, a few students

Quantifiers (some, any and no)
We usually use some in positive statements and in questions that are offers. We use any in negative statements and other questions: There are some nice views from the hotel. Would you like some coffee? He doesn't have any good music. Do you have any local currency?
NEXT
Quantifiers (some, any and no)
We can use no in positive sentences to talk about zero quantity: There's no crime around here. To talk about zero quantity, we can also use none of + plural/uncountable or none: None of my friends could help. A) How many holidays have you been on this year? B) None at all.

Large quantities
We use a lot | lots of in positive sentences, not many | not much | not a lot in negative sentences and many | much | a lot of in questions: There are quite a lot of cars on the roads today. I haven't got much money with me. Did many people come to the concert? We don't need a lot of time to finish this work. In positive sentences, we can use plenty of to show we are happy with the amount. Don't worry - we've got plenty of food.
NEXT
Small quantities
We use a few | a little to talk about an amount. We use few | little to talk about a negative amount (i.e., there is not a lot): We have a little time before the show starts. There are a few things i need from the shops. I have very little time to finish this work. This dish has very few ingredients. We can say quite a few | very few | very little to increase/decrease the amount.
NEXT
Too / not enough
We use too much | too many + noun to say there's more than the right amount. We use not enough to say there is less than the right amount: I have too much furniture. There isn't enough room for all of it! I couldn't move at the concert because there were too many people. We also use too + adjective/adverb and not + adjective/adverb enough: This suitcase is too heavy. They won't let you on the plane. You are walking too quickly I can't keep up! The meeting room isn't big enough for all us. There aren't enough chairs. You are not walking fast enough. Hurry up!

We often use different quantifiers with uncountable nouns and with plural countable nouns
