Unidades de medida (Quantifiers) Quantifiers so expresses usadas para indicar e fornecer informaes a respeito da quantidade de algo. Uma categoria de adjetivos, pronomes e artigos que quantificam os substantivos. Antes de prosseguirmos para os principais exemplos de quantifiers, importante lembramos o conceito dos tipos de substantivos: Countable (contveis) so aqueles substantivos que podemos contar, no necessitando de nenhuma unidade de medida, so os substantivos que tem a forma singular e plural. Veja exemplos de substantivos contveis: book, student, desk, apple, dog, man, woman, house, computer, notebook, lesson etc. Uncountable (incontveis) so os substantivos que no podemos contar, tornando-se necessria uma unidade de medida. Esses substantivos s apresentam a forma singular. Exemplos: wine, milk, sugar, honey, vinegar, salt, juice, water etc. As duas listas que seguem vo te auxiliar muito, na identificao e uso dos quantificadores corretos. Para substantivos contveis, os quantifiers utilizados so os seguintes: both (of) [ambos] enough [suficiente] every [todos] a lot (of) [muito(a)s] a, an [um,uma] quite a lot (of) [bastante] many [muito(a)(s) too many [muito(a)s] a few [uns pouco(a)s] very few [pouco(a)s] each [cada] none (of) [nenhum(a)] all (of) [todos] Para os substantivos incontveis usamos: enough [suficiente] none (of) [nenhum, nenhuma] some (of) [alguns, algumas] all (of) [todos os(as)] any (of) [qualquer] The [o(s), a(s)] a little [um pouco] too little [pouco(a)s] quite a lot (of) [muitos] Much, Many e A Lot of Os trs indicam a mesma coisa: uma grande quantidade. No entanto, o uso de cada um ir depender justamente do tipo de substantivo. - Much usado nos casos de substantivos no-contveis. Ex: How much sugar do you need? = Quanto de acar voc precisa? - Many usado nos casos de substantives contveis. Ex: How many students are there? = Quantos estudantes esto l? - A lot of usado em ambos os casos. Ex: I have a lot of thing to do. = Eu tenho um monte de coisas pra fazer. Too e So So usados para intensificar algo. A diferena que too d a impresso negativa de exagero, enquanto so indica uma grande quantidade, porm positiva. Ex: There is too much traffic in New York. = H trfico demais em Nova York. I love you so much. = Eu te amo muito. Little, Few e Enough Os quantifiers little e few possuem o mesmo significado: uma pequena quantidade de uma coisa. A diferena entre os dois que enquanto little se refere aos substantivos no-contveis, few se refere aos contveis.
some (of) [alg any (of) [qual the [o(s), a(s)] several [muit too few [muit no [nenhum(a
Ex: There are a few people in theater. = H poucas pessoas no teatro. Add a little sugar, please. = Adicione um pouco de acar, por favor. Enough se refere a algo suficiente, podendo ser usado tanto nos casos de substantivos contveis como nos incontveis. Ex: There isnt enough food. = Essa comida no suficiente. http://www.inglescurso.net.br/gramatica-inglesa/164-substantivos-nouns/1257many-much-a-lot-of-too-few-enough Exerccios de Much e Many
