Cuantificadores
Todos los cuantificadores se pueden usar con las palabras contables. Sin embargo, solo
algunos pueden ser usados por los incontables.
A/An
Se emplean slo con sustantivos contables en su forma singular. Utilizamos "a" delante de
sonidos consonantes y "an" delante de sonidos vocales. "A" y "an" son llamados artculos
indeterminados. (un/una)
A pencil. / An apple. / A school. / An umbrella. / A chair.
Generalmente se utiliza "much" (mucho) y "little" (poco), con sustantivos que no se pueden
contar:

bebi poco agua.
Do you have much time? = Tienes mucho tiempo? No, I have little time = No, tengo
poco tiempo.

lot, es que LOT OF va seguido de un sustantivo. Mientras que A LOT se usa como pronombre
y aparece generalmente al final.
Ejemplos:
My brother ate lot of oranges She drinks lot of coffee
We played a lot. Rose is running a lot.
SOME/ANY
Some: Se emplea con los sustantivos incontables y tambin con el plural de los

negativas y en preguntas.
