ADVERBS OF QUANTITY (Book 2, Unit 2, p.9, ex3)

ADVERBS OF QUANTITY

ENOUGH = (+) sufficient / (-) less than sufficient or necessary

(i-naf)

ENOUGH goes before the noun (enough + closets)

Houses don’t have enough closets .(+)

(In my opinion, houses need more closets.)

We have enough chairs for the concert. (-)

(In my opinion, there are sufficient chairs for the concert.)

TOO = MORE THAN than sufficient or necessary, (demasiado)

COUNTABLE NOUNS: TOO MANY always goes before the noun

(too many + cars)

countable

There were too many people at the shopping mall

There were not too many mosquitoes in the park.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS: TOO MUCH always goes before the noun

(too much + sugar)

There is too much noise in the library. Shhhh! (uncountable)

There is not too much mayonnaise on this sandwich. (uncountable)

ADVERBS OF QUANTITY 2

FEWER / LESS / MORE

Adverbs of comparison

Quite often we use FEWER / LESS / MORE when comparing a current situation, (the present or the norm) or to what we would like it to be/change into in the future, (a possible future).

FEWER goes before a COUNTABLE NOUN (fewer + cars)

There should be fewer cars on the roads at midnight. (than daytime)

LESS goes before a NON-COUNTABLE NOUN (less + money)

I always have less money at the end of the month. (than any other time of the month)

MORE goes before BOTH COUNTABLE & NON-COUNTABLE NOUNS

We should take more cars if we all want to travel together. (countable)

If I walk instead of taking the metro, I will save more money. (uncountable)
