WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.589 Today, we're going to look at a group of words that we call quantifiers, 2 00:00:04.589 --> 00:00:09.880 like 'many', 'much', 'few' and 'little'. 3 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.690 4 00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:16.849 We call them quantifiers because they're added before nouns 5 00:00:16.849 --> 00:00:20.060 to give an indication of the quantity of that noun. 6 00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:24.430 Is it a big quantity, a certain amount or a small quantity? 7 00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:27.750 Now, in most languages there is usually just one word 8 00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:32.040 that indicates a big quantity, a certain amount 9 00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.469 or a small quantity, but in English 10 00:00:35.469 --> 00:00:39.690 we have several words for each idea. For example, 11 00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:43.120 for a large quantity, sometimes you have to use 12 00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.159 'much'; sometimes you have to use 'many'. For a small quantity, 13 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.178 it's sometimes 'little' and sometimes 14 00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:54.359 'few'. We also have 'a little' 15 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.550 and 'a few'. So, it can get quite tricky and confusing sometimes. 16 00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:04.120 In this lesson, I'm going to clarify the usage of these different words for you. 17 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:04.519 18 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.240 By the end of the lesson, you'll have a clearer idea 19 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:11.310 of when and how to use these quantifiers. 20 00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:15.260 So, when you're ready, we can begin! 21 00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:19.459 22 00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:24.059 23 00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:26.899 24 00:01:26.899 --> 00:01:31.590 25 00:01:31.590 --> 00:01:34.810 26 00:01:34.810 --> 00:01:39.300 27 00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:42.640 28 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.990 29 00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:49.860 30 00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:54.760 31 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.470 32

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.800 45 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.889 46 00:02:43.889 --> 00:02:45.318 47 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.919 48 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.718 49 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.620 50
