Slide 1 - Tekstslide

What is a quantifier?
A quantifier is a word or phrase which is used before a noun to indicate the amount or quantity:

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

Some vs Any
  • When we want to refer to a plural noun or an uncountable noun, without giving a specific quantity,
    we use ‘some’ and ‘any’. 

  • We use ‘some’ in affirmatives/positives and ‘any’ in questions and negatives.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Recap:
Some/Any + noun: when we don't know the exact number/amount, or it's not important:



We usually use some in positive and any in questions and negative sentences.
She has some flowers. Have we got any milk
