| Offers and requests: “Would you like some tea?” | Questions (general): “Do you have any books?” |

Much and Many
- Much + uncountable nouns (usually questions and negatives): “How much water do you drink?” / “I don’t have much time.”
- Many + countable nouns: “How many students are there?” / “There are too many cars.”
A Lot Of / Lots Of
Used with both countable and uncountable nouns, mainly in affirmative sentences. “There are a lot of people.” / “She has lots of experience.”
A Few / A Little vs Few / Little
| Positive meaning | Negative meaning |
|---|---|
| A few (countable) = some, enough: “I have a few friends who can help.” | Few (countable) = not enough: “He has few friends; he feels lonely.” |
| A little (uncountable) = some, enough: “I have a little time left.” | Little (uncountable) = not enough: “There is little hope.” |
