Target language analysis:
2 Lesson Plan
, 1. What is the use or function of this Many, much and a lot of:
language? (include a timeline if These quantifiers are used to show the amount or quantity of a countable noun, (for example five
appropriate) tomatoes) or uncountable noun (for example milk). We can also use ‘many, much and a lot of’ to
indicate large amounts.
Many and much
These quantifiers can be utilized in questions and negative sentences. When it comes to nouns, ‘many’
is utilized before countable nouns, and ‘much' is utilized before uncountable nouns.
Here are the examples:
a) How many pencils do you have?
b) I don't have many books to carry.
c) How much ice is in the fridge?
d) I don't have much money.
In addition to the above, when quantities are very big, we simply put ‘so’ before ‘many and much'.
Here are the examples below:
a) There are so many children in the bus, there is no place to sit.
b) He has so much work in the garden, he will finish late
A Lot Of:
When we mention large amounts or quantities of countable and uncountable nouns, we can use the
quantifier ‘a lot of’. We normally use ‘a lot of’ in affirmative, negative sentences and questions. We can
also use ‘a lot of’ to replace many and much.
Here are the examples:
a) I need a lot of water.
b) My mother has a lot of shoes.
