Nice explanation

[@francinyhuh]

You saved me. I didn't understand this when my teacher was explaining it, but now I got it. Thank you so much, now I have fewer headaches from this.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're very welcome.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Usage guidelines: 'Much' + uncountable nouns: much luck, much milk 'Very much' + verbs: I like it very much. 'Very' + adjectives / adverbs: very slow / very slowly

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Prepositions are best learned as part of an expression or phrase: interested in / on holiday. There is a list of common expressions with their prepositions in Anglo-File 116 on the website. I hope that will help you.

[@ranijaiswal3502]

I am from India . During this lockdown , I have online exams . So I watched your video and I was clear with all the consepts . Thank you

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're very welcome, Rani! I hope you did well on your exams.

[@ranijaiswal3502]

@@AngloLinkEnglish yes I did very well and got full marks . Thanks a lot

[@ranijaiswal3502]

@Arvin Lin mind your tongue .

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Just like you have used in your examples. Well done.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, they are. 'a little bit' is informal, and mainly used in spoken English. Don't forget to use 'of' after 'bit' with nouns: I am a little tired. I need a little rest. I am a little bit tired. I need a little bit OF rest.'

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

As I explain in the lesson, 'few' means 'almost none', and 'a few' means 'some'. Use 'very' to distinguish the two phonetically: There are very few books ..... There are a few books....

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, but only with countable nouns. Also note that it is an informal expression, mainly used in spoken English.

[@mohmmadjonaid4601]

Best teacher ever for English grammar.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you very much, Mohammad!

[@mohammedakarkari5644]

Best Teacher with best explanation I ever seen and watched

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thanks a lot, Mohammed!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

I am glad most of you have found the lesson interesting. Just a little reminder: 'information' is an uncountable noun in English. Therefore: There was a lot of (much) helpful information.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, 'do' and 'does' can be used in the Present Simple Tense to emphasise the action: I really like this. = I do like this. He really likes this. = He does like this.

[@anesioteca5492]

I must thank you Dear Teacher for all effort you have done for us... I'm from Angola ( África ) I really enjoy all the lesssons here, I'm a beginner and I have been developing my skills here. God bless you Dear Teacher and keep it up!!! 🇦🇴🇦🇴

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

If you have an article or a possessive adjective before the noun, you add 'of': A few friends >>> A few of MY friends / A few of THE friends

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

The rules for 'articles' are complicated. They are on my to-do list.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

The best plural form to use for 'a person' is 'people'. The plural form 'persons' exists, but it is only used in formal and impersonal contexts. For example, a sign might say: 'No more than 4 persons are allowed in this lift.'

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You will find written explanations and exercises for most of the topics on our website Anglo-Link(dot)com under 'Exercises'.

[@bifernliley]

Really want to say 'Thank you' to you I am the part of the most people who are very confused how to use many, much a little and few but now I can get more grammatically

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

We don't sell these videos. They are only available on KZbin,

[@2795731]

Clear, simple, straight to the point, as usual. You are the best source ever to clarify quickly and once for many grammar points confusely explained by many grammar books. Thank you very much !!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

My pleasure!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, 'much fun' is correct. As I explain in the lesson, it is common to use 'much' in the question and negative forms: Did you have much fun? - No, we didn't have much fun. / Yes, we had a lot of fun.

[@لمووو-ر2ق]

As far as i’m concerned, you are the best teacher.Althguo the english language is a difficult to me , I think i understand your lesson.Thank you very much

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, 'month' is a countable noun. You are probably asking this question because it is hard to distinguish between 'month' and 'months' when you hear them.

[@moroccoculturaltours1360]

You must love what you doing ! The way you teach will make it easy for any one to understand and enhance their English ... ,Thank you

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

I do indeed! I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

If you are only concerned about factual size, use 'small'. If there is also an emotional overtone, you can use 'little': He is a small boy. / He is a lovely little boy. The sun is a small star. / I love looking at the little stars in the night sky.

[@afaf55ful]

You have changed my life..thanks a bunch ..love you

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

That's a lovely thing to say! Thank you!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

'Least' and 'Fewest' are the Superlatives of 'little' and 'few'. As their usage is limited to specific phrases, I did not include them in this grammar lesson. Examples of usage: With nouns: The fewest number of points / books etc. & The least amount of petrol / sugar etc. With Adjectives: The least fortunate / expensive Expressions: 'Last but not least.' 'The least I could do.'

[@marbanoo]

You are a very good teacher, you solved most of my problems! i am looking forward for your wonderful videos.

[@alita362010]

Very nice this video as the same as the others . You are very good teacher. And thanks for give us(the learners) a lot of information.

[@RabiaKhurram-TCHRRRCL]

This is such a comprehensive lesson. really helped I clarifying the concept

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@ypoordful]

I am learning English and your videos are very useful for me congratulation for your work!!!!!

[@fernandagomez7762]

The subject of quantifiers is somewhat confusing for everything that we must know which is countable and which is uncountable, but when I see this video everything is clearer to me, I like how each of them has a way of using it in different sentences or also how they give so many common varied examples that we can easily use and remember.

[@drvikrantkadam]

where can we see all of your videos...any website? and any specific sequence of the videos to watch in order to be able to do good conversations in english?

[@phuongloan8527]

Really a good explaining that I have ever seen. So, I am watching your vedios with much internet these days to learn something new.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're very welcome.

[@gayanalagalla372]

You are the best English Teacher I've ever known.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you very much!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

'do' just adds emphasis to the verb. The meaning doesn't change.

[@mohammedakarkari5644]

Best Teacher

[@tabishkhan9843]

It is really nice video but i worried that why some people dislike her videos.i think this teacher is one of the best teacher on youtube and one of the most good properties of this teacher is that whenever i ask question from her she answers me in addition i ask a lot of questions from her.Thank you dear teacher

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you for your support, Tabish. 'dislikes' don't worry me much as I don't expect everyone to like my teaching style.

[@tabishkhan9843]

welcome dear teacher .dear teacher it is my extreme desire that teacher like you teache me offline specially english.

[@gerafinali4384]

Thank you. Just a little question. Why not I eat many sweets? Sweet is countable.

[@SHRINXX]

Best lesson I've ever had❤️‍🔥

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you! That's very kind of you.

[@ibrahimazizov6380]

Dear teacher, all your lessons are very helpful to me!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Ibrahim Azizov Thank you, Ibrahim. It makes me very happy to read this.

[@educationalclub6500]

Thank ma'am..... 🙏🙏🙏 Your way of teaching is too good . 😊😊

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thanks a lot!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

As I say in the lesson, 'much' is more commonly used in questions and negative sentences. Therefore, it is uncommon to hear 'I have much money.' However, after 'too', the only option is 'much': I have too much money. I am therefore surprised at what you have written above.

[@miladmosapoor4438]

Hey Anglo. I've seen this video which was concerning using Much, Little - Many, few and a lot of. However here is one question might I ask you please, beneath: The word ''much'' can be only brought on the ordering questions and when the purpose is negative, not on the positive sentences like this: ''I've too much money'' Can you please clarify this question ? Your reply would be appreciable for me!

[@a.z2416]

That was very clear thanks 🥰

[@hellosun8965]

i had read a grammar book about common mistakes students made. It was written by 2 linguistic professors, J B Heaton and N D Turton. It said many/much is used before a noun (for used as a pronoun) mainly in questions and negative sentences. Example: ' The policeman started asking me many questions' is grammatically incorrect. We should say 'The policeman started asking me a lot of questions. Therefore, many/much is not an alternative of 'a lot of. In affirmative sentences, phrases such as a lot of and plenty of are used. However, that many/much is used in affirmative sentences after too, so and as. it sometimes can be used in formal contents, e.g. Many accidents arise as a result of negligence. Anyway, I do learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

+TWIGGY CHENG You're welcome, Twiggy. You're quite right in what you have written above. I believe I say more or less the same thing in my lesson. If there is a specific part that contradicts what the two professors of linguistics say, let me know which part and I will review it.

[@hellosun8965]

+Anglo-Link Thank you for your reply. Just the learning book said 'a lot' is an alternative of 'much/many' . I have one more question that even British and American have different interpretation. It's about the word 'until/till'. 1) 'He is on leave until 31 Dec 2015.' Will he come back to work on 31/12/2015 or he is still on leave on that day? 2) 'The certificate is valid until 31 Dec 2015.' Does the certificate is valid on 31/12/2015. 3) If my lover told me: 'I love you till the end of the world'. Does it mean my lover will love me even the end of the world or he will love me but not end of the world. I know if I say "I will wait here until your return", it means I don't have to wait here when you come back. the first clause is opposite the 2nd phrase (your return). Can this apply to the sentence 'I love you till the end of the world'? 3) If my driving licence is printed: 'valid till 31 Dec 2015'. Can I drive my car on 31 Dec 2015? Can't drive at 0:00 on 31 Dec 2015 or at 0:00 on 1 Jan 2016 4) My driving licence is printed 'Expiry date: 31 Dec 2015'. Can I drive my car on 31 Dec 2015? Can't drive at 0:00 on 31 Dec 2015 or at 0:00 on 1 Jan 2016 5) My credit card is printed : Valid through : 12/2015. Is my credit card still valid the whole month in Dec 2015 ? Hope you can give me the answers. Thank you so much!

[@manisha7204]

😊Thanks ma'am to dispel my doubt I had less knowledge about it

[@SilviaMaggio]

Are 'a little' and 'a little bit' the same thing? Thank you very much for the video

[@raphelsg]

please, can you make a lesson about "distinguish the person from the thing"? because, it's common to confuse a person with a thing. they both are nouns.

[@niteshrajak8061]

add "do-does" in that cases of present simple, are grammatically correct?

Thank you so much i just found you this really helps:)

[@norahhasan2962]

Is it correct to say" I'm going to leave this city in a couple of months"? is it correct to add "s" to month?

[@harshawardhanshirke2327]

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thanks a lot!

[@npanoff]

Like your video very much! But tell please what is the difference between "little" and "small"? For example "little man" or "small man", "liitle star" or "small star" etc.

[@Woooperfect]

Please make a video telling us about more Quantifiers.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

I've made a note of your request, Ayesha!

[@julianarose9399]

Hello Anglo Link can we use ( more ) in negative sentence or not ?

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

I don't see why not.

[@julianarose9399]

you mean we can use ( more ) in negative sentence

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

That's right, e.g. She doesn't have more money than you.

[@julianarose9399]

Thanks for your efforts

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

'What are these things?' because 'things' is plural. What is this thing?' because 'thing' is singular.

[@mohammedmaaroof5096]

Dear I really appreciate your efforts about these English lessons. In the gap filling exercise you select (... a little coffee ...) and (...a few weeks...) instead of (..little..) and (..few...).Why? Can you explain ,please?.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

mohammed Maaroof Remember: a little / a few = some (positive) & little / few = hardly any / almost zero Go back to the sentences, and insert the synonyms (some / hardly any), and you will see that 'some' fits in better in the two sentences than 'hardly any'.

[@101519e16]

[@peacebewithyou453]

Hi minoo! We say "Thank you very much", but, not "this is very much interesting/useful". Are both expressions correct?
