SOME ANY MUCH MANY A LOT (A) FEW
We use much and many mostly in question
Some and Any are used before plural nouns
and uncountable nouns to talk about an
indefinite quantity:
Ex: Some letters any letters
Some money any money
Some is used in affirmative sentences.
Ex: - There are some letters for you.
- I’ve got some money.
Some is used in questions when we want to
encourage people to say ‘yes’; for example in
requests and offers.
Ex: - Can you let me have some paper?
- Would you like some more tea?
- Have you got some paper I could have,
Please?
Any is used in negative and question form.
Ex: - Are there any new stories in your store.
- Is there any tea in the cupboard?
- I don’t have any new stories for you.
- There isn’t any tea in the cupboard.
Any is used after words with negative meaning
such as without, never, seldom, rarely, hardly.
Ex: - I found a taxi without any trouble.
- You never do any homework.
- There are hardly any eggs left.
(A) LITTLE
and negative. Much is used with uncountable
nouns, and many is used with countable plural
nouns.
Ex: - Is there much rice left?
- We haven’t got much rice left.
- Has he got many books?
- He hasn’t got many books.
Note: We often use much and many in
affirmative sentences after too, as, so and
very.
Ex: - Take as much milk as you want.
- I’ve got so many jobs to do today.
- We enjoy the party very much.
- We’ve got too much milk.
In affirmative sentences, we normally use a lot
(of), lots (of) and plenty (of), not much and
many.
We use a lot (of), lots (of) and plenty (of) with
both uncountable nouns and plural nouns.
Ex: - We’ve got a lot of milk.
(Not: We’ve got much milk.)
- He’s got a lot of / plenty of books.
(Not normally: He’s got many books.)

Tips for filling the gaps (rules explained in other words):

First, you have to identify the word that is quantified (noun or adjective). Keep in mind that a
quantified noun may be preceded by several adjectives!
You also have to look at the position of the gap.

• If the gap is after the word (an adjective), you have to use “enough”. In the other situations,
the quantifiers stay before the word!

• If the gap is before the quantified word (an adjective), you have to use “too”.

• If the context suggests excess and the word is in plural (so it’s a countable noun), you have to
use “too many”. Pay attention to irregular plurals!

• If the context suggests excess and the word is in singular (an uncountable noun), you have to
use “too much”.

Always pay attention to the context. Keep in mind that lack of excess doesn’t necessarily mean
insufficiency.
