2. QUATIFIERS
WHAT ARE THEY?
Quantifiers indicate the quantity of a noun. They respond
to the questions, “How much?” or “How many?”. As with the
article in English, quantifiers define nouns and are
always located in front of the noun they define. Some
quantifiers can be used only with countable nouns, others
only with uncountable nouns and others with both.

3. COUNTABLE OR NOT?
We use quantifiers to express the idea of quantity or number. The
following is a summary of the various quantifiers and how and when to
use them.

4. SOME AND ANY
WHAT ARE THEY?
As we just reviewed they are
quantifiers, but, they are very

any is an essential part of the English
grammar, because they help us to
complete sentences with "There is" and
"There are"

have to have a reference of of number or
quantity, we can use it with countable and
uncountable nouns. E.g:

On the other hand, we use "any"
(algunos/as o algo de) for questions or
negative sentences (ninguno/a or nada de)

and uncountable plural nouns. E.g:
Negative sentences:
- There isn't any meat in the fridge.

Questions:
- Are there any books on the desk?
- Do you have any brothers?
