Objective The objective of this presentation is to explain

about quantifiers and when to used them.

Also, it was created to learn about two types

of quantifiers “much and many” and the

differences between each other. Another

objective is to test the knowledge of the

learner.

Quantifier

A quantifier is a word or

phrase which is used

before a noun to

indicate the amount or

quantity.

Quantifiers can be used with both count and

non-count nouns.

Count Nouns

A count noun is

something we can

count. It has a

singular form and a

plural form.

ex: one car, two dogs; a

bus, three bicycles; a

house, six buildings.

Non-count nounsA non-count

noun is something

we don’t count. It

has no plural form.

ex: fruit, happiness,

information, safety,

patience, work.

Much and Many

• There are many

restaurants in my

neighborhood.

Use many with count nouns and much with non-

count nouns.

There is not much traffic

in this area.

Many Is used to make questions, it is not often used to

make affirmative sentences but it is commonly used

to make negative statements.

Examples

• How many parks parks are there?

• How many kids are in the park?

• How many slides are available?

• There are many kids playing.

• There are many swings to use.

• There are many parents with their

• kids.

• There are not many houses in sell.

• There are not many slides available.

and in combination with the adverb too.

How much privacy do neighbors have?

How much safety is there for the children?

There is not much crime in the city?
