Ejercicio 2

Pay attention to your teacher's explanation about the use of quantifiers. Discuss with a partner the information and exchange some examples. Clarify with the teacher any doubts you may have.

Respuesta orientativa: La tabla clasifica los cuantificadores según el tipo de sustantivo. Con contables (plural) se usan some, any, many, a few y a lot of; con incontables se usan some, any, much, a little y a lot of. Some aparece en afirmativas, any en negativas e interrogativas, much/many en negativas e interrogativas, y a lot of en los tres tipos de oración. Ejemplos para intercambiar: There are some books on the desk (contable, afirmativa) y We don't have much time (incontable, negativa).

Ejercicio 3

Individually, complete the following sentences with the correct quantifier.

Parte 3.a

I'd like to have ______ (many / some / a few) more information before I make a decision.

Information es un sustantivo incontable en inglés, por lo que no admite many ni a few (solo contables plurales).
La oración es afirmativa y expresa una cantidad no especificada.
El cuantificador que cumple ambas condiciones es some.

Respuesta

I'd like to have some more information before I make a decision.

Parte 3.b

The place was full, so ______ (some / a little / a lot of) people heard what she told him.

People es un sustantivo contable en plural, así que a little (incontable) queda descartado.
La oración es afirmativa y el contexto (the place was full) indica una cantidad grande.
Some también es posible gramaticalmente, pero a lot of es el que mejor expresa la multitud; con some la idea de "lugar lleno" se pierde.

Respuesta

The place was full, so a lot of people heard what she told him.

Preguntas para practicar

Why can't we use 'many' with 'information'?

Because 'information' is an uncountable noun in English; it has no plural form, so it takes quantifiers like 'much', 'some' or 'a little' instead of 'many'.

In what kind of sentences do we usually find 'any'?

We usually find 'any' in negative and interrogative sentences, for example: 'She didn't have any markers' or 'Do we have any milk?'.
