Much & Many

Ik weet hoe ik in het Engels kan aangeven dat iets veel is.

Vul de zin aan met much of many:
I know ... people.

Vul de zin aan met much of many: Is there ... milk left?

Vul de zin aan met much of many: I always eat ... sandwiches.

Vul de zin aan met much of many: My father doesn't let me eat ... candy.

Vul de zin aan met much of many: We never make ... mistakes.

Vul de zin aan met much of many: There is ... ice in the fridge.

Vul de zin aan met much of many: I am not going to buy ... clothes today.

Much & Many

Kijk naar de voorbeelden en probeer een regel te bedenken:

Many:

• I eat many apples.

• She doesn't know many people.

•  There were many students in the room, but not many tables.

• Many teachers like their job.

Much:

• I don't eat much candy.

• He doesn't have much money.

• We didn't have much time left.

• How much water do you drink?

Much

We gebruiken much bij ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

Ontelbare woorden moet je vaak wegen of afmeten, zoals:
gassen: gas / air (lucht) / oxygen (zuurstof)
vloeistoffen: coffee / tea / water
kleine deeltjes: sugar / rice / sand

In het Engels zeg je namelijk niet: 1 gas, 2 coffee, 3 sugar
Wel: 1 liter of gas, 2 cups of coffee, 3 kilograms of sugar

Many

We gebruiken many bij telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

Telbare woorden hebben (bijna altijd) een enkelvouds- en meervoudsvorm:
1 teacher - 2 teachers

1 table - 31 tables

1 chair - 6 chairs

Sleep de woorden naar het juiste veld:
