Gebruik "many" met telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

Bijv.: "She has many friends."

2. A Lot of / Lots of

Kan gebruikt worden met zowel telbare als niet-telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden.

Quantifiers

3. Little en A little

Gebruik "little" met niet-telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden om een kleine hoeveelheid aan te geven, vaak met een negatieve connotatie.

Bijv.: "We have little time to finish the project."
Gebruik "a little" met niet-telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden, wat een kleine maar voldoende hoeveelheid suggereert.

Bijv.: "I need a little sugar for my coffee."

4. Few en A Few

Gebruik "few" met telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden om een kleine hoeveelheid aan te geven, vaak met een negatieve connotatie.

Bijv.: "He has few friends in the city."
Gebruik "a few" met telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden om een kleine maar voldoende hoeveelheid aan te geven.

Tips&Weetjes

• Vergelijk nooit twee dingen met een superlative.
• Gebruik 'more' en 'most' voor langere bijvoeglijke naamwoorden (bijv. more beautiful, most beautiful).
• 'A few', a little en 'few' , little hebben verschillende betekenissen; 'a few', a little is positief (een beetje), terwijl 'few' en little negatief is (niet veel).
• Onthoud het verschil tussen telbare en niet-telbare zelfstandige naamwoorden bij het kiezen van de juiste quantifier.
• "Much" en "many" worden vaak gebruikt in vragen en ontkennende zinnen.
• "A lot of" en "lots of" zijn informeler en veel gebruikt in spreektaal.

Vul de lege plekken in met "much", "many", "a lot of", "a few", "few", "a little", of "little".
