Quantifier (much/many/a lot of)
- I have a lot of apples.
- I don’t have
many apples.
- I don’t have
much time.
- few – They have a few potatoes.
- little – We’ve got a little rice.
Comparative

- fewer - We’ve got fewer potatoes.
- less – They’ve got less rice.

most

- I don’t have the most apples.

Perlu diingat bahwa:
  • many dan few digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang dapat dihitung (countable noun).
  • much dan less digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable noun).
  • a lot of / lots of bisa digunakan baik bersama dengan countable maupun uncountable noun.

  • There are as few people in this town as that one.
  • She’s got as much water as we do.
  • I’ve got as little time as you do.
