Quantifiers in English
Grammar Rules[edit | edit source]
Countable and uncountable nouns may also be used with quantifiers. These are words that express amount or quantity. Common examples are some, any, more, few, little, several. However, there are some quantifiers that can be used with only countable nouns: many, few, a few, fewer, several.
E.g.
• The citizens came to the meeting with many suggestions on how to improve their neighbourhood.
• Fewer tourists visited that area as it was known to be unsafe. Some other quantifiers can be used with only uncountable nouns: much, little, a bit of.
E.g.
• Would you like a bit of pepper in your soup?
• There’s very little dessert left. Some quantifiers may be used with both countable and uncountable nouns: all, some, any, lots of, plenty of, enough.
E.g.
• He has enough courage to face the bullies.
• We have some plates for the party tonight. Tracy will bring more.
