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:

El docente explica que los cuantificadores indican cantidad y que su elección depende de si el sustantivo es contable (countable) o incontable (uncountable).
Con un compañero, se comparan ejemplos: some books (contable, afirmativa), some advice (incontable, afirmativa), any markers (contable, negativa/interrogativa), much water (incontable, negativa/interrogativa), many friends (contable, negativa/interrogativa), a few dollars (contable), a little salt (incontable), a lot of teachers (contable), a lot of money (incontable).
Se aclaran dudas con el profesor, por ejemplo: some también puede usarse en preguntas cuando se ofrece algo (Would you like some coffee?), y much puede aparecer en afirmativas en registro formal (There is much to learn).

Respuesta orientativa: se espera que el estudiante participe en la discusión y produzca ejemplos propios con cada cuantificador.

Ejercicio 3

Individually, but keeping in mind that you are part of a community, 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, por lo que no puede usarse many (solo contables) ni a few (solo contables).
Some se usa con sustantivos incontables en oraciones afirmativas.
La oración es afirmativa y expresa deseo de obtener una cantidad adicional de información.

Respuesta

some

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.
A little solo se usa con incontables, por lo que se descarta.
Some es posible gramaticalmente, pero el contexto "the place was full" indica una gran cantidad, no una cantidad indefinida pequeña.
A lot of expresa gran cantidad y funciona con sustantivos contables en plural.

Respuesta

a lot of
