Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about the quanta fires a lot and most.
Let's get started.
Remember the quanta fires are adjectives and adverbial phrases that give approximate or specific answers
to the questions.
How much.
And how many.
Have a look at the example below.
Sorry but there isn't much left for you to do here.
Note that the word much in the sentence is a quanta fire.
And it tells us how much work is left to do.
Now to answer the questions how much and how many certain quanta fires can be used with countable nouns
such as cherries and apples while others can be used with uncountable nouns such as T or money now have
a look at the examples we know how many cousins do you have notes the declined to fire many in the sentence
is used with accountable noun cousins but in this sentence how much money do you spend to quantify how
much is used with an uncountable noun.
Money
now in spoken English and informal writing.
When we want to indicate a large quantity of something.
We tend to use a lot a lot of or lots of now a lot means very often or very much.
It is used as an adverb now it often comes at the end of a sentence and never before a known.
Have a look.
The examples below.
My brother plays football a lot meaning very often and knows that it comes at the end of the sentence.
And in this sentence she's a lot happier after quitting her job.
Note that a lot in this sentence comes after a noun and it tells us how happy she felt after quitting
her job.
Now a lot of it'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 affirmative negatives and questions now have a look.
The examples below.
That's a lot of money.
Singular uncountable noun.
There are a lot of great students here plural countable noun with God lots of things to do today plural
countable noun.
Now we use to quantify or moles to talk about quantities and nouns and degrees 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.
Now we use most with nouns in the meaning the majority of if there is no article demonstrate of or possessive
pronoun we use most right before the noun is in the example below.
Most tap water is drinkable right before the noun.
Now when we are talking about the majority of a specific set of something we use most of the plus noun
as in the example below.
Most cakes are sweet cakes in general the party was amazing Kate made most of the cakes herself cakes
in the sentence meaning a specific set of cakes at the party.
Now we can leave out the noun with knows when the noun is obvious from the context is in the example
below.
Students can eat in the cafeteria the most bring food from home most in the sentence meaning students.
