Lesson #55 Determiners-III (Quantifiers in Detail — Know The Subtle Rules)

In the last lesson, we learnt about quantifiers during our discussion on various kinds of determiners. In this lesson, we will study some commonly used quantifiers in detail. Some, Any, Much, Many, Little and Few are the quantifiers that we all use quite frequently in our daily communication, but rarely do we think about the subtle rules that govern them. Do you know when to use some and any? Do you know that Little, a little and the little do not mean the same? Do you know inclusion or exclusion of article ‘A’ in front of determiner Few can make a big difference to the meaning of a sentence? To learn more about such exciting information and study quantifiers in detail, watch this lesson till the end. This lesson is all about acquainting you with subtle rules governing the commonly used quantifiers.
The objective of all lessons on determiners so far has been to eliminate any grammatical mistake that might be happening unknowingly. Without determiners our communication is incomplete. We can’t imagine a professional piece of writing, a prepared speech or even a casual conversation without determiners, which share a special relationship with nouns. Their existence depends on nouns. Therefore, it’s important we understand them in clear terms to use them effectively in any form of communication.
