much, many, little, few, some, any, no – table

 

 

many/much

 

many for countable, much for uncountable in (?) and (-)

 
We use many before plural (countable) nouns and much before uncountable nouns. We use them in negative sentences and questions. We don’t often use them in affirmative sentences.

• There isn’t

  much coffee

  in the jar.

• Were there

  many people

  in the party?

 

too much/too many, so much/so many

 
Note that we don’t normally use much/many in affirmative sentences, but we can use too much and too many or so much and so many in affirmative sentences.

• There’s

  too much salt

  in the soup.

• You eat

  too many biscuits

  .

• There were

  so many people

  that we had to leave.

• He ate

  so much cake

  that it made him sick. 

 

how much/how many

 
We use how many and how much to ask about quantity.

• How many concerts

  have you ever been to?

• How much coffee

  have you had today?

 

a lot of/lots of/plenty of

 

Before both countable and uncountable

 
We use a lot of, lots of (more informal), or plenty of before both plural (countable) and uncountable nouns. We normally use them in positive sentences.

• She spends

  a lot of time

  watching TV.

• We had

  lots of good

  moments together.

• We’ve got

  plenty of time

  . 

 

of before noun; no of at the end of sentence

 
We must always use a lot of or lots of including of at the end. However, we can use the expressions a lot or lots (without of) at the end of a sentence.

• ‘How many beers did you have?’ ‘I don’t know; I had

  lots/a lot

  .’

• I like her 

  a lot

  .

• I don’t want any more cake, thanks. I’ve had

  plenty

  . 

 

(a) few/(a) little/a bit of

 

few for countable; little for uncountable

 
We use (a) few before plural (countable) nouns and (a) little or a bit of (more informal) before uncountable nouns in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

• I have to do

  a few things

  this afternoon.

• He always gets good results with very

  little effort

  .

• Can you put

  a bit of sugar

  in the tea.

 

few or a few? little or a little?

 
A few means ‘some but not many; enough’, and a little means ‘some but not much; enough’ .

Few means ‘almost none; not enough’.

Normally, the difference between a few/little (WITH a) and few/little (WITHOUT a) is that a few/little is positive in meaning, and few/little is negative. Compare:

• There’s

  little milk

  in the fridge; we have to buy more. (=Not enough; we need more)

• ‘Shall I buy some beers?’ ‘No, it’s OK, there are

  a few

   in the fridge.’ (=Enough; we don’t need more)

• ‘Do you speak English?’ ‘

  No

  , I speak very

  little English

  .’ (=Negative)

• ‘Do you speak English?’ ‘

  Yes

  , I speak

  a little English

  .’ (=Positive)

 

some/any/no

 

some in (+) and any in (?) and (-)

 
We use some in affirmative sentences and any in negative sentences and questions.

• There isn’t 

  any sugar

  in the cupboard.

• Have you got

  any new friends

  ?

• I have

  some questions

  to ask you.

 

no in (+)

 
We use no in affirmative sentences.

• There are 

  no

  biscuits left. 

 

With both countable (plural) and uncountable

 
Some, any and no can be used before countable and uncountable nouns. But if we use them before a countable noun, the noun must be plural.

• Are there

  any students

  in the classroom? (NOT Is there any student in the classroom?)

• There are

  no

  students in the classroom. 

 

some for offers and requests

 
We use some (NOT any) in interrogative sentences when we are offering or requesting (=asking for) something.

• Would you like

  some

  help?

• Can I have

  some

  tea, please?

 

none

 
None is a pronoun. It means ‘zero’. We use it in affirmative sentences as a pronoun to replace countable and uncountable nouns. This means that it’s not followed by a noun.

• There were three bottles before we left and now there is

  none

  .

• ‘How much cake did you have?’ ‘

  None

  .’

 

none of

 
We can also use none of + noun (countable or uncountable).

• None
