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!
