Welcome to this tutorial today we're going to talk about quanta fires a few and a little let's get started.

00:12.820 --> 00:21.970
Now once the fires are adjectives and adverbial phrases that give approximate or specific answers to

00:22.030 --> 00:25.910
questions how much and how many.

00:26.290 --> 00:29.390
Have a look at the example over here.

00:29.500 --> 00:39.170
Sorry but there isn't much left for you to do here the word much in the sentence is a quanta fire and

00:39.170 --> 00:42.260
it tells us how much work is left to do

00:46.200 --> 00:54.660
now to answer the questions how much and how many certain qualifiers can be used with countable nouns

00:54.690 --> 01:04.910
such as chairs and apples while others can be used with uncountable nouns such as T and money.

01:04.930 --> 01:13.790
Have a look at the examples we know how many cousins do you have to quantify how many in the sentence

01:14.000 --> 01:23.890
is used with accountable noun cousins but in the sentence how much money did you spend to quantify how

01:23.890 --> 01:30.160
much in this sentence is used with an uncountable noun which is money

01:33.680 --> 01:39.600
also note that how much can be used when we want to know the price of something.

01:39.860 --> 01:48.690
Now in this case we can use how much with accountable noun both singular and plural noun haven't look

01:48.780 --> 01:50.910
at the example below.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.070
How much does this dress cost.

01:54.150 --> 02:01.660
Note the dress is accountable noun.

02:01.820 --> 02:06.380
Note that the quanta fires a few little.

02:06.650 --> 02:17.380
Very few and very little are generally used in affirmative statements non negatives or questions let's

02:17.380 --> 02:25.320
have a look at quanta fires that are used with countable nouns such as chairs and apples.

02:25.540 --> 02:30.940
Very few meaning hardly any or not enough.

02:30.940 --> 02:34.240
Have a look at the example below.

02:34.300 --> 02:43.270
I've got very few friends I need to be more outgoing nodes that France is accountable noun

02:46.210 --> 02:54.530
a few meaning some or enough have a look at the example below.

02:54.530 --> 02:58.620
I know that I've got a few friends but they're the best.

02:58.760 --> 03:01.760
Again friends is accountable noun

03:05.320 --> 03:15.640
and now let's have a look at quanta fires that are used with uncountable nouns such as T and money very

03:15.640 --> 03:24.250
little meaning hardly any or not enough haven't look at the example below.

03:24.250 --> 03:27.020
We have very little time left.

03:27.100 --> 03:31.090
I doubt that it'll be enough for six cups of tea.

03:31.090 --> 03:42.520
Note that the word tea in this sentence is an uncountable Noun A little meaning some or enough.

03:42.540 --> 03:45.340
Have a look at the sentence below.

03:45.430 --> 03:48.160
We have a little tea left.

03:48.160 --> 03:49.660
Shall I make you some tea.

03:49.660 --> 03:54.510
Then again tea is an uncountable noun.
