LARGE QUANTITIES

LOTS OF is a colloquial equivalent of a lot of. (Cuidado!! No digais: a lots of)

SMALL QUANTITIES

A LITTLE AND VERY LITTLE are quite different in meaning (the second is more negative) The same applies to A FEW and VERY FEW

ZERO QUANTITIES

NOT..ANY is the most common way yo talk about zero quantities, e.g. There is no milk.

However, you can also use no + noun after there is and have, e.g. There is no milk.

NONE is a pronoun so is used on its own, e.g. Is there any milk? No, I´m afraid there is none left.

MORE / LESS THAN YOU NEED

Typical mistakes are:

• Using too much + an adjective, e.g. (WRONG: I´m too much busy)
• the position of enough, e.g. (WRONG: I´m not enough tall to open the cupboard)
• mispronouncing enough
