QUANTIFIERS

Used with countable nouns Used with uncountable nouns

A lot of A lot of
Plenty of Lots of
Many Much
A few A little

Let’s practice
Example:
Circle the correct answer:
a.There is a few sugar in the kitchen.
b.There is a little sugar in the kitchen.
The correct answer is b because sugar is an uncountable noun and with
uncountable nouns, we have to use a little not a few.
Exercises:
1) a. I don’t have many apples.
b. I don’t have much apples.
2) a. We have lots of tea.
b. We have a few tea.
3) a. There is many butter in the bread.
b. There is a lot of butter in the bread.

Now that we know very well about food in English and

which ones are countable and uncountable nouns we can
start using the book.

Healthy Eating
• Do you want to be healthy? Perhaps you need to go on a diet. Start the day by
drinking a glass of water or orange juice. ..but no coffee or tea, and no milk or sugar,
please!
• For lunch, don’t eat any fried food…French fries, or burgers, for example… some
grilled fish, perhaps with some green vegetables, is really good for you.
• Do you want some pasta for lunch? Ok. But don’t put any cheese or tomato sauce
on top!
• Don’t eat any desserts which contain cream, butter or chocolate!
• If you are still hungry, eat some fruit, or have some nuts. They are really healthy!
• And to drink…just water! It hasn’t got any calories so you can drink as much as you
want.
• For dinner, have some soup and bread, but remember - no butter!
It’s simple...but delicious.

Circle T for true or F for false:

1. To start the day healthy, drink a cup of coffee. T F

GRAMMAR CHECK
2 Choose the correct word for each sentence.
- You will find three possible answers.
- Read each alternative and choose the correct one.
Example: How ________ cousins do you have in Australia?
a. much b. many c. plenty

8
 Primera unidad didáctica ● Inglés VI

• How much is not the answer. Much is used with uncountable nouns
and we can count our cousins.
• How plenty is not the answer. How plenty doesn’t exist.
• How many is the correct answer. Many is used with countable nouns.
So the correct answer is:
a. much b. many c. plenty

3 Put the verbs in the past tense.

- Read the complete text before answering the exercise.
- Now that you have a general idea of the text, answer it.
- Be careful to write the verbs in the past tense correctly.
Example:
We __made____ (make) pancakes for breakfast yesterday.
The answer is made, no maded because make is an irregular verb.

4 Complete the questions with much or many.

Put the verbs in the past simple. Remember that much is used with
uncountable nouns and many with countable nouns.
- All the expressions are in past tense.
- Be careful with the negative and questions.

Examples:
Noun + didn’t + verb( present tense) Question word+ noun + did + subject +verb (p.t.)

I didn’t eat chicken yesterday How much chicken did you eat ?

5 Correct the mistake in each sentence.

Read each sentence carefully. There is something wrong in each one:

9
 Escuela Profesional de Ingeniería Industrial ● Escuela Profesional de Ingeniería de Sistemas e Informática

- You may need an extra word to complete the idea.

- You may need to change one word for another.
- Maybe two words are not in the correct order and you have to change
them.
- Or maybe one of the words is not needed.

Example:
We made a lots of sandwiches for the picnic.
- The expressions for quantity are: a lot of or lots of
- A lots of is not correct because they are mixing the
singular article “a” with the plural “lots of”. T
- The correct answer is:

We made a lot of sandwiches for the picnic.
