1. MANY, MUCH, A LOT OF, FEW, LITTLE… + COMPARATIVES.
TO DESCRIBE JOBS.
There are some rules:
Many is used only with COUNTABLES nouns.
Much with UNCOUNTABLES nouns.
A lot of can be used with both.
Only many and much can be preceded by the words how, to
form questions (how many / how much ...?).
Few is found with COUNTABLES nouns.
Little with UNCOUNTABLES nouns.
If they are used without the indefinite article, a, they have the sense
of not enough and are negative in feeling (few events, little interest)
but these are quite formal and we would normally prefer not many
events and not much interest.
When few and little are used with “a”, they simply mean
asmall quantity with no extra negative overtones: a few
events (i.e. three or four) and a little
interest (i.e. some interest, but not a lot).
Instructions: there are some adjectives with their comparative, then give a sentence
using the comparative but don’t forget to use a quantifier.

Tall –taller ______________________________________________________________

Now look at the following pictures and make a sentence using comparatives and
quantifiers which my fit better on each picture. Write your sentence in the blue box
that is next to the picture.
2. Instructions: Now that you have the rules, write some sentences using the quantifiers (MANY, MUCH, A LOT OF, LITTLE, ETC)

THE OBJECT THAT WE´LL COMPARE + VERB TO BE + QUIANTIFIER + COMPARATIVE + THE OBJECT
THAT COMPARES THE PREVIOUS ONE. NOTA: IF IT’S NECESARY ANOTHER OBJECT.
