QUANTIFIERS
We gebruiken quantifiers (hoeveelheidswoorden) om aan te geven hoeveel er ergens van is. We maken hierbij onderscheid tussen telbare en ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

Voorbeelden van telbare en ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden:

Telbaar: coins, houses, slices of bread, glasses of water
Ontelbaar: money, milk, rice, advice, luggage, furniture, information

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

MUCH & MANY
We gebruiken many voor telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden, en much voor ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden. We gebruiken much en many vooral in vraagzinnen en ontkenningszinnen.

  • How much money do you have left?
  • I don't have that much time.
  • How many people work here?
  • There aren't many people who can do what you do.

Bij zinnen waar so, as, too en how in staan gebruiken we altijd much en many!


Slide 5 - Tekstslide

A LOT OF / LOTS OF
We gebruiken a lot of / lots of voor zowel telbare als ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

  • I have baked a lot of cakes in my life.
  • My mum spends lots of money on kitchen utensils.

LET OP: lots of is zeer informeel, en gebruiken we dus niet in brieven, e-mails en dergelijke.



Slide 6 - Tekstslide

(A) FEW & (A) LITTLE
Er is een verschil in betekenis tussen a few en few. Hetzelfde geldt voor a little en little.

A few = een paar -> few = weinig
A little = een beetje -> little = weinig

  • I work out for a few hours a day.
  • There are few people who can run as fast as Usain Bolt.
  • I need a little more time to prepare.
  • I have little interest in going any further.
