Quantifiers (Cuantificadores)

Los cuantificadores indican la cantidad de un nombre. Son repuestas a la pregunta "¿Cuántos?" Al igual que los artículos, los cuantificadores definen a un nombre y siempre están situados delante del nombre. Se pueden usar algunos sólo con nombres contables, otros sólo con nombres incontables y otros con ambos.

Utilizamos los cuantificadores para expresar la idea de cantidad o número. En el siguiente resumen podrás estudiar cómo y cuándo usarlos.

Many

Significado: Mucho

Uso: Expresa la idea de gran cantidad. Es utilizado sobretodo en frases negativas e interrogativas con el nombre contable en plural. Se puede usar "many" en frases afirmativas, aunque no es muy común. Normalmente, usamos otros cuantificadores como "a lot."

• Ejemplos:
• Frase negativa:
• There are not many tourists. (No hay muchos turistas.)
• Frase interrogativa:
• How many cats do you have? (¿Cuántos gatos tienes?)
• Frase afirmativa:
• We have many friends. (Tenemos muchos amigos.)

También se combina con "too" (demasiado) o "so" (tanto) para expresar la idea de cantidad excesiva o un punto de vista sobre una cantidad.

• Ejemplos:
• There are too many changes for me. (Hay demasiados cambios para mi.)
• There are so many things I want to do! (¡Hay tantas cosas que deseo hacer!)

Much

Significado: Mucho

Uso: Como "many", expresa la idea de gran cantidad y es utilizado sobretodo en frases negativas e interrogativas. La diferencia a "many" es que usamos "much" sólo con nombres incontables en singular. Se puede usar "much" en frases afirmativas, aunque sería más formal y no es tan común.

• Ejemplos:
• Frase negativa:
• There is not much time. (No hay mucho tiempo.)
• Frase interrogativa:
• How much money does he have? (¿Cuánto dinero tiene?)
• Frase afirmativa:
• We have much to do! (¡Tenemos mucho para hacer!)

Como "many," también se puede combinar con "too" o "so" para expresar la idea de cantidad excesiva o un punto de vista sobre una cantidad.

• Ejemplos:
• There is too much work. (Hay demasiado trabajo.)
• We have so much work to do! (¡Tenemos tanto trabajo que hacer!)

Some

Significado: Algunos, unos

Use: Se utiliza tanto para los nombres o sustantivos contables en singular como para los nombres o sustantivos contables en plural. Se usa en frases afirmativas y interrogativas (para afirmar algo); se sustituye por "any" en frases negativas o interrogativas. Significa una cantidad indefinida, pero limitada.

• Ejemplos:
• Frase afirmativa/nombre contable:
• She has some apples. (Tiene algunas manzanas.)
• Frase afirmativa/nombre incontable:
• There is some milk in the kitchen. (Hay leche en la cocina.)
• Frase interrogativa/nombre contable:
• Are there some tourists? (¿Hay algunos turistas?)
• Frase interrogativa/nombre incontable:
• Is there some sugar? (¿Hay azúcar?)

Any

Significado: Algunos, ninguno

Use: Se utiliza en los mismos contextos que "some," pero en frases negativas o interrogativas.

• Ejemplos:
• Frase negativa/nombre contable:
• I do not have any cats. (No tengo ninguno gato.)
• Frase negativa/nombre incontable:
• He does not have any money. (No tiene dinero.)
• Frase interrogativa/nombre contable:
• Are there any changes? (¿Hay algunos cambios?)
• Frase interrogativa/nombre incontable:
• Is there any milk? (¿Hay leche?)

Little/A little

Significado:Poco/s
Use: Expresan una cantidad pequeño y se usan sólo con nombres incontables. La decisión a usar "little" o "a little" refleja una opinión sobre la cantidad. Si usas "a little", significa una opinión positiva sobre la cantidad y si usas "little" implica una opinión negativa.

• Ejemplos:
• Frase interrogativa:
• Do you have a little money? (¿Tienes un poco dinero?)
• Frase afirmativa:
• We have little time. (Tenemos poco tiempo.)

Few/A few

Significado:Poco/s
Use: Expresan un número pequeño. "A few" puede indicar un número suficiente. Se usan sólo con nombres contables. Como hemos visto arriba, la decisión a usar "few" o "a few" refleja la opinión sobre la cantidad expresada. "Few" describe la cantidad de forma negativa y "a few" la describe de forma positiva.

• Ejemplos:
• Frase interrogativa:
• Do you have a few dollars? (¿Tienes unos dólares?)
• Frase afirmativa:
