Q&A

Last year you had a lesson on 'much and many'. Do you remember that lesson?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

What do you remember from the 'much and many' lesson?

much and many are:

1. words that say something about a verb. (adverbs)
2. words that say something about a pronoun. (adjectives)
3. words that say something about a noun. (quantifiers)

Next to Much and Many, you learned two more. Which ones?

so  much for freshing up your memories!

One day, a man came down the stairs in one of his houses. He walked into the livingroom and found a few kids playing there. But when he looked closer he saw that they weren't his kids. He asked what they were doing in his house. And one of the kids answered that he comes there every year on vacation. The kid in turn asked the man why he was never there. The man said that he has so many houses that he forgot which ones were his. The kid, dressed in some rags, cried because his parents don't even have enough money for one house. The man looked at the kid. Thinking that he has plenty of money and so decided to give the set of keys and the deed to the house to the kid's parents. "When you have so much money, you can do with a little less." He thought.

can you find the words that say something about an amount ?
