How many/How much & quantifier

.......... some yogurt in the freezer.

• there is

• there are

• there aren't

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'there is' because 'yogurt' is a singular noun. The phrase indicates the existence of yogurt in the freezer, which requires the singular form 'there is'.

.......... some apples on the kitchen counter.

• there is

• there are

• there aren't

Answer explanation

The phrase 'some apples' indicates a plural noun, so the correct choice is 'there are', which is used for plural subjects. 'There is' is for singular, and 'there aren't' is negative, which doesn't fit the context.

.......... a lot of homework to do tonight.

• there is

• there isn't

• there are

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'there is' because 'homework' is an uncountable noun, which requires the singular form. 'There is' is used for singular nouns, while 'there are' is for plural nouns.

The correct choice is 'some' because it indicates an unspecified quantity of flour needed for making pizza dough. 'Any' suggests a lack of specific quantity, and 'a lot of' implies an excessive amount, which is not necessary.

I don't have ..... cheese to use as a topping on my pizza.

• a lot of

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'any' because the sentence implies a lack of cheese. 'Any' is used in negative sentences to indicate none at all, while 'a lot of' and 'some' suggest a quantity, which contradicts the context.

how much juice ..... left in the bottle?

• are

• is

• isn't

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'is' because 'juice' is a singular noun. We use 'is' for singular subjects, while 'are' is for plural. 'Isn't' is a contraction of 'is not' and does not fit the question's structure.

how many apples ..... in the basket?

• isn't

• is

• are

Answer explanation

The question asks about the quantity of apples, which is plural. Therefore, the correct verb form is 'are' to match the plural subject 'apples'. 'Is' and 'isn't' are singular forms and do not fit here.

.......... cookies are in the jar?

• how much/is

The correct choice is 'how many/are' because 'cookies' is a countable noun, requiring 'how many' for quantity, and 'are' is the correct verb form for plural subjects.

..... milk is left in the fridge ?

There ..... a lot of milk

• how many/is

• how much/are

• how much/is

Answer explanation

The question asks about the quantity of milk, which is uncountable. Therefore, 'how much' is the correct phrase. The second part confirms this with 'is' since 'milk' is singular. Thus, the correct answer is 'how much/is'.
