Quantifiers

📚 Quantifiers tell us something about the amount 
or quantity of something (a noun).

❇️ Some quantifiers express a small or large quantity:
Small: I have a few things to do before finishing work.
Large: I have many things to do before finishing work.

❇️ Some quantifiers express part of or all of a quantity:
Part: It rains most days in winter.
All: It rained all day yesterday.

Quantifiers belong to a larger class called Determiner.

Examples of quantifiers

📚 Quantifiers can be a single word (e.g. some)
or a phrase (e.g. a lot of). Quantifiers that 
appear as a phrase are often called Complex
Quantifiers.

❇️ Simple Quantifiers: all, another, any, both, each, either,
enough, every, few, fewer, little, less, many, more, much,
neither, no, several, some.

❇️ Complex Quantifiers: a few, a little, a lot of, lots of

📚 As vs Like

💢 As and like are often confused since they are
both used to compare actions or situations. There
are, however, important differences.

💢 We use as to talk about job or function.

▪️I worked as a shop assistant for 2 years when
I was a student.
▪️He used his shoe as a hammer to hang the
picture up.

💢 In comparisons, the structure ‘as adjective as’ is
often used.

▪️He’s not as tall as his brother
▪️She ran as fast as she could.

💢 In the following comparisons as is a conjunction
it’s followed by a clause with a subject and a verb.

▪️He went to Cambridge University, as his father had
before him.
▪️She’s a talented writer, as most of her family are.

and it’s followed by a noun or a pronoun.

▪️None of my brothers are much like me.
▪️She looks just like her mother.

Like and As if/As though

💢Like, as if and as though can all be used to make
comparisons. There is no difference in meaning among
the 3 forms.

▪️You look as if you’ve seen a ghost.
▪️You talk as though we’re never going to see
each other again.
