I propose an exercise of review that combines the different expressions of quantity we have studied in the basic course, "some", "any", "a lot of", "much", "many", "too" and "enough" . They have to fill in the gaps with one of these seven options. Some quantizers are used more than once.

Every Christmas she sends  letters to all her family and friends. Everybody tells her she is old-fashioned! She often doesn't have  stamps at home and she needs to buy in a shop nearby. Today she went to the shop but they didn't have . They had sold all the stamps the day before.
She went to the post office but she didn't have  money - she wanted to buy some presents, too. And the queue was  long and she didn't have time. 
So this year she is going to send  emails and only  letters. Like this she won't need  stamps.

quantifiers

QUANTIFIERS

the  quantifiers indicate a name. They are responses to the question "How many?". Like articles, quantifiers define a name and are always located in front of the name. Some may be used only with count nouns, others only names and countless others, both.

We use quantifiers to express the idea of ​​quantity or number. In the following overview you will learn how and when to use them.

look at the following video:

Cuantificador	Contable	Incontable
Play Many	X
Play Much		X
Play Some	X	X
Play Any	X	X
Play No, none	X	X
Play A lot of/Lots of	X	X
Play Little/A little		X
Play Few/A few	X

*Many 

Meaning: Many 

Use: It expresses the idea of ​​wealth. It is used mainly in negative and interrogative with plural count noun phrases. You can use "many" in affirmative sentences, although not very common. Normally, we use other quantifiers like "a lot."

*Much 

Meaning: Many 

Use: As "many" expresses the idea of ​​wealth and is used mainly in negative and interrogative sentences. The difference with "many" is that we use "much" only uncountable nouns singular. You can use "much" in affirmative sentences, though it would be more formal and not so common.

*Some 

Meaning: Some, some 

Usage: Use with both names or singular countable nouns as names or plural countable nouns. It is used in affirmative and interrogative sentences (to say something); "any" is substituted in negative or interrogative sentences. It means an indefinite quantity, but limited.

*Any 

Meaning: Some, none 

Use: Used in the same context that "some," but in negative or interrogative sentences.

*A lot of / Lots of 

Meaning: Many 

Usage: lot express idea. It can be used with names or countable and uncountable nouns. Unlike "many" and "much", not use them in interrogative sentences. In general, "lots of" is more

 informal.

*Little / A Little 

Meaning: Little / s 

Use: Express a small amount and are only used for uncountable nouns. The option to use "little" or "a little" reflects an opinion on the amount. If you use "a little" means a positive opinion on the amount and if you use "little" implies a negative opinion.
