1.
The use of some and any
The general rule is that any is used for questions and
negatives while some is used for positive. Both may be used with countable and
uncountable nouns. Some may also be used for questions, typically offers and
requests, if we think the answer will be positive.
Example :
·
Some : They
promote some of their new products.
·
Any : Do
you have any idea to solve this loss
problem?
2.
The use of much, many, a lot of, few and little
Much may only be used with uncountable nouns while many
is used with countable. Much and many also be used in questions if the speaker
thinks that the answer will be positive. A lot of is used for positive. Little
and few are quantifiers meaning ‘some’. Little and few have negative meanings.
We used them to mean ‘not as much as may be expected or wished for’.
Example :
·
Much : How
much does it cost to rent a bus?
·
Many : I
see many people in the market to buy
and sell the comodity.
·
A lot of : He
said a lot of reasons why he came
late to the meeting this morning.
·
Few : This
company just has the few customers,
so it will close.
·
Little : The
office is very busy today. It seems we have little chance to meet Mr. Boss.
3.
The use of adjective
Adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual
people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or
pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.
Example :
·
Before a noun : His
job allows him to stay in expensive
hotels.
·
After be : Mr. Andrew is a good CEO, so other employees respect him very much.
·
After linking verb : The taste of the food from their
restaurant is better than the other
restaurants.
·
Objective compliment : The employees have to keep the company’s
good name.
·
After someone / something : I am looking for something
different for our new product.
