Today:



Expressions of quantity 
Life unit 4: pages 46/47 + page 161;
Do ex 6, 7 + 8 + 10 page 47

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

expressions of quantity 
" Much, many, (a) few, (a) little, a lot of, lots of"

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Short recap of the rules

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Much and Many

1. We use much with uncountable nouns in questions and negatives.
  • How much money have you got?
  • There isn’t much cheese left.
 
2. We use many with countable nouns in questions and negatives.
  • How many people were at the party?
  • I didn’t take many photos on holiday.
 

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

(a) few (een paar/enkele) and (a) little (een beetje/weinig)

1. We use a few with countable nouns
There are a few cigarettes left, but not many.
 
2. We use a little with uncountable nouns
Can you give me a little help?

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Positive attitude
A few (for countable nouns) and a little (for uncountable nouns) describe the quantity in a positive way, implying that although the speaker may not have much, he has enough.

Examples

I've got a few friends. = I have enough friends.
I have a few flowers in my garden. = I have enough flowers.
I've got a little money. = I have enough money.
I have a little free time on Thursdays. = I have enough free time.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Negative attitude
Negative attitude
Few (for countable nouns) and little (for uncountable nouns) describe the quantity in a negative way. They may actually indicate a total lack of the noun, but are more polite than saying so directly.

Examples
Few people visited him in hospital. = he had almost no visitors, or perhaps no visitors at all.
I've seen few birds around here. = there are almost no birds, or perhaps not a single bird
He had little money for treats. = almost no money, or perhaps no money at all
I have little time for TV = almost no time, or perhaps no time at all

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

A lot/lots (of)

1. We use a lot/lots with both countable and uncountable nouns
There is a lot of butter
I’ve got lots of friends.
 
2. A lot/lots of can be used in questions and negatives
Are there lots of tourists in your country?
There isn’t a lot of butter, but there’s enough.
