7.5 Grammar

Goal: you can use quantifiers with countable and uncountable nouns.

What do you remember about countable & uncountable nouns?

• Look at the text again - which words are 'quantifiers'?
  

What do you already know about quantifiers? Year 1 knowledge

How many? / Many / Too many

= with countable nouns

How many friends have you got?

Have you got many books?

I've got too many books. = te veel

How much? / Much / Too much

= with uncountable nouns

Create your own answer with 'much' or 'many' + noun:
