1 Língua Inglesa Aulas 1 a 4 Ead Profª Carolina 3º Ano Quantifiers: MUCH - MANY- A LITTLE A FEW A LOT OF Começaremos diferenciando pela quantidade: Many e Much indicam grande quantidade. Few e little indicam pouca quantidade. Many ou Much: qual usar? A regra é clara: many é usado para substantivos contáveis (countable nouns), e much é usado para substantivos incontáveis (incountable nouns). Veja nos exemplos. There isn t much sugar in the box. (Não há muito açúcar na caixa.) Note que não dá para contar o açúcar. Anna takes many tourists to the museum every day. (Anna leva muitos turistas ao museu todos os dias.) Aqui, a quantidade de turistas pode ser contada. I need much sleep tonight. (Eu preciso dormir muito hoje à noite.) Neste caso, como dormir é um conceito abstrato, não é contável.

2 You have many flowers in your garden. (Você possui muitas flores no seu jardim.) As flores são contáveis, portanto, many. I can t feel much love in you. (Eu não consigo sentir muito amor em você.) Sentimentos são incontáveis, por isso, much. There are many cats for adoption. (Existem muitos gatos para a adoção.) Quando nos referimos a animais, utilizamos a partícula many. This much rain isn t a good thing. (Essa grande quantidade de chuva não é uma coisa boa.) Para ações e conceitos da natureza, much. Few ou little: qual usar? Esses dois conceitos seguem a mesma forma dos anteriores, só que, neste caso, relacionados a poucas quantidades. Usamos few para substantivos contáveis e little para substantivos incontáveis. There are few students at school. (Existem poucos estudantes na escola.) Pessoas são substantivos contáveis, portanto, few. I have little time now. (Eu tenho pouco tempo agora.) Quando nos referimos ao tempo, temos apenas a noção subjetiva de quantidade, por isso, little.

3 There are few buses in this town. (Existem poucos ônibus nessa cidade.) Ônibus, carros, e outros meios de transporte são objetos contáveis, então, few. He has a little hope about this wedding. (Ele tem pouca esperança sobre esse casamento.) Esperança funciona como sentimento, portanto, o uso correto é o do little. She s got very few friends here. (Ela tem pouquíssimos amigos aqui.) Novamente, amigos são contáveis, por isso, few. I speak a little French. (Eu falo um pouco de francês.) Não é possível contar a quantidade de francês que é falado, por isso, a little. A Lot of: Usamos em ambos os casos, tanto para os substantivos contáveis quanto para os substantivos incontáveis. Fonte: Acesso em: 22/05/17

4 How Much e How Many A lógica praticamente é a mesma! A diferença é que agora estamos lidando com duas expressões interrogativas. Assim, how much significa quanto e how many significa quantos. Agora veja as duas sentenças abaixo: Quantos livros você comprou? Quanto café você deveria beber? Na sentença com quantos devemos usar how many ; já na sentença com quanto devemos usar how much. Assim, How many books did you buy? How much coffee shoud you drink? Perceba como o significado de cada um ajuda você a compreender quando usar um ou outro. Se você pensar desta forma, tenho certeza que muitos dos seus problemas com countable nouns e uncountable noun serão resolvidos.
