Study Tips

When using quantitative adjectives, remember to consider whether the noun is countable or uncountable. For countable nouns, use "many" or "few" to indicate a specific number, and for uncountable nouns, use "much" or "little" to indicate a quantity.

Practice using quantitative adjectives in sentences to become more familiar with their usage. Additionally, review the differences between countable and uncountable nouns to ensure accurate usage of quantitative adjectives.

Remember to pay attention to the specific quantity or number being described by the quantitative adjective, as it can vary depending on the context of the sentence.
