Determiners and quantifiers
Examples:
  • much, many, a lot of, lots of, all, whole, every, each; (a/the) few, little, less, fewer (than), much of, many of

  • Example:
    Many of you might know this. ⇐ not specified how many.

  • Exception:
    no, none, not, not a, not any (zero)
    neither (zero out of two) and both (two).

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Much / many

  • Much is used with uncountable nouns
    much gas, much coffee, much air, much sugar

  • Many is used with countable nouns
    many students, many people, many words, many things

  • Much is used when the meaning is unclear from the context:
    We didn’t do much after school. (much what?)

  • Much of and many of are used when we mean a large part or number of:
    Many of you already know this.
    Much of the race was nothing more than crashes.

  • We use many rather than lots of or a lot of with time expressions. (hours, days, weeks, etc.)
    I have spent many hours training.

Slide 12 - Diapositive

Few(er) / Little / Less

  • A few / few / fewer is used with countable nouns:
    few people, few students, a few children, fewer cigarettes

  • A little / little / less is used with uncountable nouns
    a little work, little pain, less money

Slide 13 - Diapositive

All, both, whole

  • All is usually after the verb be, after the first auxiliary verb or, when they are not present, before the verb.
    It is all just a big mistake.
    They could all have been the killer.
    We all went shopping together.

  • If we talk about two people or things, we use both (of) in affirmative sentences and neither (of) in negations:
    Both of you, stop talking now! Neither of you can leave.

  • Before singular countable nouns we usually use the whole instead of all (of).
    The whole idea was terrible.

  • Except when it comes to the words day, week, night, month and the seasons.
    He worked all summer to get his house ready.

Slide 14 - Diapositive

Neither instead of none
  • We use the word neither instead of none when we talk about two people or things.
    Situation: My two nephews are fighting about who can play on the PS5.

  • Neither of you can play on the Playstation today!

Slide 15 - Diapositive

Every, each
  • We use every to talk about events at regular intervals:
    every kilometer, every single day, every week, every six months

  • We use each when we talk about people or things in a pair
    each knee, each day of the weekend

  • Easy way to remember:
    Have you got two or more people or things? each
    Have you got three or more people or things? every
