    Quantifiers – a lot of – most

    Introduction

    1) Quantifiers are adjectives and adjectival phrases that give approximate or specific
    answers to the questions ‘How much?’ and ‘How many?’.

    Sorry, but there isn’t ​much​ left for you to do here.


    2) To answer the questions ‘How much?’ and ‘How many?’ certain quantifiers can be used
    with countable nouns (chairs, apples), while others can be used with uncountable nouns
    (tea, money). We use ​much​ with uncountable nouns and ​many​ with countable nouns.
    Note that ​much​ and ​many ​are mainly used in interrogative and negative sentences.

    How many cousins​ do you have? (countable)


    How much money ​did you spend? (uncountable)

    Note that in spoken English and informal writing when we want to indicate a large quality of
    something we tend to use ​a lot, a lot of, lots of​.

    A lot​ m
    ​ eans very often or very much.​ ​It is used as an adverb. It often comes at the end of a
    sentence and never before a noun.

    My brother plays football ​a lot​.


    She’s ​a lot​ happier after quitting her job.

    A lot of i​ s more formal than ​lots of​. They both mean a large amount or number of people or
    things and they can be used with plural countable nouns and with singular uncountable
    nouns for affirmatives, negatives, and questions.

    ​ lot of money​.
    That’s a
    There are ​a lot of great students​ here.
    We’ve got l​ ots of​ things to do today.

    We use the quantifier ​most​ to talk about quantities, amounts and degree. We can use it with
    a noun (as a determiner) or without a noun (as a pronoun). We can also use it with
    adjectives and adverbs to form the superlative.

    We use ​most​ with nouns in the meaning the majority of. If there is no article, demonstrative
    or possessive pronoun, we use​ most​ right before the noun.

    Most tap water​ is drinkable.


    When we are talking about the majority of a specific set of something, we use ​most of the​ +
    noun.

    Most cake​s are sweet. (cakes in general)


    The party was amazing. Kate made m ​ ost of the cakes​ herself. (a specific set of cakes
    at the party)

    We can leave out the noun with ​most​ when the noun is obvious from the context.

    ​ ost ​bring food from home. (=most students)


    Students can eat in the cafeteria but m

    Short Story Dialogue

    – I know that ​most teenagers​ like partying and going out with their friends but ​most of
    my friends​ aren’t like that. We go to the theatres and museums a lot.
    – That’s so interesting! What do you like​ the most ​about contemporary museums?
    – Well, ​most people think that museums are really boring but it’s not true
    nowadays. A lot of museums​ are interactive. They are entertaining, engaging, and
    educational. And people of all ages have ​lots of fun ​in there!
