How much упражнения. Самое понятное правило использования much-many-little-few — с практикой! Underline the correct word. Подчеркни правильное слово

Приветствую вас, дорогие мои!

Бытует такое мнение, что русский язык — самый богатый язык с безмерным количеством красивых слов!.. Но вот как же с ним согласиться, когда в русском есть только одно слово, выражающее большое количество — «много» , а в английском — таких слова аж целых три! (на самом деле их больше — это лишь основные...).

Конечно, дебаты по поводу красоты языка разводить я тут не буду — и так ясно, что каждый язык великолепен по-своему! А вот "Правило much many " и еще нескольких других слов, которыми мы выражаем quantity, я вам сегодня разложу так, чтобы вы и не думали больше путаться и ошибаться! Вы готовы? Я уже...

Начнем пожалуй с таблицы, которая вам наглядно покажет разницу. А закончим упражнениями — без них ваши свежие знания улетят в водопроводную трубу — примерно так же, как улетает случайно упавшая туда сережка)).

Я думаю, по таблице все понятно. Теперь объясню словесно и более подробно.

  • Much/a little/little (много/немного/мало)

Слова Much/a little/little используются только с существительными, которые нельзя сосчитать, то есть с неисчисляемыми существительными. Much означает большое количество чего-либо — much sugar (много сахара), much water (много воды), much money (много денег). Little – наоборот – очень мало чего-либо – little sugar (очень мало сахара), little water (мало воды), little money (мало денег). A little означает «немного» , это нечто среднее между much и little – a little sugar (немного сахара), a little water (немного воды), a little money (немного денег).

  • Many/a few/few (много/немного/мало)

Слова Many/a few/few используются только с существительными, которые можно сосчитать, то есть с исчисляемыми существительными. Many означает большое количество чего-либо — many books (много книг), many friends (много друзей), many thoughts (много мыслей). Few – наоборот – очень мало чего-либо – few books (очень мало книг), few friends (мало друзей), few thoughts (мало мыслей). A few означает «несколько» , это нечто среднее между many и few – a few books (несколько книг), a few friends (несколько друзей), a few thoughts (несколько мыслей).

  • A lot of (много)

A lot of можно использовать как с исчисляемыми, так и с неисчисляемыми существительными, что очень удобно. A lot of часто заменяет much и many в утвердительных предложениях , тогда как в отрицаниях и вопросах уместнее использовать much и many.

Do you have much time?

— No, I don’t have much time. or – Yes, I have a lot of time.

Кстати, есть несколько «тонких мест», на которых учащиеся очень часто делают ошибки. Читаем и запоминаем!

!Many people! (не much)

Many clothes! (не much )

Much money! (не many)

Many fruits ! или !Much fruit!

Привет, Друзья! Как не запутаться, используя much и many? Просто обратите внимание на правила употребления, ведь англичане неслучайно придумали два слова с одинаковым значением.

Они не являются взаимозаменяемыми: в одних случаях вам понадобится только much, а в других – только many. Здесь всё зависит от самого слова, к которому будет относиться much или many. Давайте разбираться, что к чему!

Разница между many и much

Местоимение many употребляется в тех случаях, когда оно относится к предметам (одушевленным или неодушевленным), которые можно посчитать. Слова, обозначающие такие предметы, называются исчисляемыми существительными.

  • many children – много детей
  • many people — много людей
  • many tigers — много тигров

используем many (так как их можно посчитать)

Местоимение Much употребляется только с существительными, которые нельзя сосчитать, то есть с неисчисляемыми существительными.

  • much sugar (много сахара)
  • much water (много воды)
  • much money (много денег)

используем much (так как их нельзя сосчитать. Much означает большое количество чего-либо.)

Смотрим таблицу, которая вам наглядно покажет разницу употребления Much, Many

Much /Little
(много/мало)
Many /Few
(много/мало)
A lot of / Plenty of
(много)
Неисчисляемые существительные Исчисляемые существительные Исчисляемые и несчисляемые существительные
How much money have you got ? – Как много у тебя денег?

There is little ink left in my pen . – В моей ручке осталось немного чернил.

I have many friends . – У меня много друзей.

He has got few best friends . – У него несколько (немного) лучших друзей.

There is a lot of sugar there . – Там много сахара.

There are plenty of plants in the garden . – В саду много растений.

Many употребляется там, где предметы можно посчитать поштучно.
Если же они счету не поддаются, смело вставляйте в предложение слово much .

Вопросительные предложения

  • How much sugar do you take in your coffee?
    Сколько сахара ты кладешь в кофе?
  • How much money do you want for this?
    Сколько (денег) ты за это хочешь?
  • Do you have much work to do?
    У тебя много работы?
  • How many students are there in each class?
    Сколько учеников в каждом классе?
  • How many people are you expecting?
    Сколько человек ты ожидаешь?

Отрицательные предложения

    Он зарабатывает мало (= немного) денег.
  • Not many people have heard of her (существительное people — исчисляемое).
