Quantifiers and Containers

SOME VS ANY

• 'some' followed by singular thing= unknown thing. 

  Example: Wilson just take some paper in the stack of papers in the drawer. 

• 'some' is used in (+) / request / offer sentences. While 'any' is used in (-) / (?) sentences, sometimes we may find 'any' in (+) sentences, which mean ' yang mana aja'.

Quantifiers

EITHER vs NEITHER

1) Either / Neither + singular noun

a) Neither player was allowed to return to the game after the argument.

b) A. There are two keys here. Which will open the office? B. I believe either key works.

2) Either/ Neither + of + Pronoun

a) Neither of us expected to be fired.

b) I don’t think he is going to invite either of us.

3) Neither of + determiner + plural noun

Neither of our cars has enough petrol so we have to take the bus.

Neither..nor.../ Either ...or......= the verbs agree with ^2nd subject.

Neither John nor Fred likes doing the dishes.

Difference between NO and NONE

• NO  IS AN ARTICLE - it goes before a noun. While NONE IS A PRONOUN -it goes alone.

• Examples of NO :

  There is no sugar = There isn't any sugar.

• None = No + noun. Examples of NONE: 

  He has two cars and I have none (= no cars).

• NONE + of + determiner (the, my, this...)We always use NONE before OF:

  - None of the books is interesting

  - None of my friends knows it

  - None of us speaks French

  
  

In english we divide nouns in:

.

.

.

1. Countable: nouns that can be counted and have a plural form.

2. Uncountable: nouns that can not be counted and don't have a plural form.

​

A noun can be "countable" in spanish like "pan" but uncountable in english.

​To use quantifiers we need to remember that...

are only used for NEGATIVE

​sentences or for doing QUESTIONS.

Many for countable nouns

Much for uncountable nouns

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

Much and Many

​A lot of, lots of, a few and many.

For Countable nouns we use:

A lot of, lots of, a little and much.

For Uncountable nouns we use:

Used to express a small amount of something.

A few is for COUNTABLE nouns.

A little for UNCOUNTABLE nouns

​

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

A few /A little

We use them to express a LARGE amount of something.

​

​Some text herThey can be used for both COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE nouns

A lot of / lots of

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

​Vocabulary: containers and portions

We have lots of time.
Joe has lots of friends.
I can't go out. I've got no money.
There was a lot of food but no drinks.

Quantifiers with Count and Uncount Nouns

We do not normally use the quantifier some in negative and interrogative sentences. We normally use any:

• Do you have any children?

• Did you see any friends?

• We don't have any children.

• I didn't see any friends.

• We saw some lions at the zoo, but we didn't see any tigers.

​

Some & Any

Some

• The quantifier "some" is used with both countable and uncountable nouns to indicate an unspecified quantity.

• When used with countable nouns, "some" suggests that the quantity is not large or specific. For example, "I need some apples for the pie" suggests that you need a few apples, but not a specific number.

• ​When used with uncountable nouns, "some" suggests that the quantity is not precise but sufficient for the purpose. For example, "I'd like some water, please" suggests that you want a reasonable amount of water, but not an exact quantity.

• Here are some more examples of how "some" can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns:

• "Would you like some pizza?" (uncountable)

• "Some of the students passed the test." (countable)

• "I have some money in my wallet." (uncountable)
