Anahtar fikirler

• Countable nouns have a plural form, while uncountable nouns such as water, money, advice and information have no plural.
• Many is used with countable plurals and much is used with uncountable nouns.
• A few means some and gives a positive idea, but few means almost none and sounds negative.
• After like, love, enjoy, prefer, mind and finish we use the -ing form of the verb, not the bare infinitive.
• The word news is singular in English even though it ends in the letter s, so the singular verb is required after it.
• Activities of the fixed go group never take the verb do, and tasks of the do group never take the verb go.

Konunun özeti

The noun decides the quantifier: many with countable plurals, much with uncountable words such as time, money and advice. A few and a little are positive, but few and little are negative. Invitations are accepted with the phrase I would love to and are refused politely with a reason.

Sık yapılan hatalar

• Using many with an uncountable noun: the combination with water is not English, because water cannot be counted; the correct quantifier for it is much or a little.
• Adding a plural ending to an uncountable noun: the plural forms of advice, information and furniture do not exist in English, so a unit expression is used when the noun must be counted.
• Adding do to an activity that takes go: the combination with do and shopping or with do and fishing is incorrect, because these two are fixed items with the other verb.
