IV. Introduction of the new theme:
T: - So, let’s study using of some, any, a lot of and much / many.
In English nouns can be countable (a man, a table) and uncountable (milk, money).
Countable nouns:
- Can be singular or plural (flower – flowers)
- Can have number in front of them. (I have two cats. There are six men in the room).
Uncountable nouns:
- Have no plural form and always appear with a singular verb. (Money isn’t everything)
- Don’t go with number. (I’ve got some / a lot of time).
- Don’t take a or an. (I bought bread and milk).
A lot of / lot’s of
We use a lot of with countable and uncountable nouns.
e. g. They earn a lot of money.
There are a lot of apples.
And we use a lot of /lot’s of in questions and negative sentences.
e. g. Are there a lot of books?
I haven’t got a lot of friends.
Much / many
We use much only with uncountable nouns in questions and negative sentences.
e. g. How much cheese is there in the fridge?
I haven’t got much money.
We use many only with countable nouns in questions and negative sentences.
e. g. How many children have they got?
There aren’t many people in the room.
A few / a little
We use a few with countable nouns.
e. g. There are a few apples on the table.
We use a little with uncountable nouns.
e. g. There’s a little milk in the bottle.
