javier hello welcome everybody cool and

it looks like uh we are good to go on

facebook as well hi

facebook welcome everybody on facebook

okay

so everything is going okay we are

connected

so today’s lesson is about quantities as

i said

we’re going to cover countable and

uncountable nouns

a lot in this lesson so

uh let’s get started uh with the first

part

um i’ll show you today’s lesson boards

now so you can take a picture

it looks like facebook is okay good tran

hello alicia gonzalez hi

we have similar names steve hello what’s

the difference between past perfect and

future tense

check our youtube and facebook videos

the english class 101 videos that is a

different topic from today’s lesson

but i have made many videos about those

topics

okay i’ll show you today’s lesson boards

then here

is our uh flow for today first

we’re going to talk about countable and

uncountable nouns the basics super super

basics i’m not going to talk about

details today i have a couple videos

about this

then we’re going to talk about a few and

few

a little little what the difference is

key differences here

and then finally we’re going to talk

about enough

and any okay so for today’s lesson

i chose um i wanted to focus on topics

that i notice many

learners have questions about or that i

read

lots of mistakes so uh so sometimes i

read your comments

all the time all the time and i notice

many

mistakes about this topic uh

so i chose those points for today

uh i’m going to share the lesson

okay and get started okay so let’s begin

first countable nouns and uncountable

nouns

what is this okay so countable nouns and

uncountable nouns may be

a beginner grammar point for some of you

maybe it’s a new grammar point for some

of you

basically countable nouns

are nouns we can count with numbers that

means

we we make a countable noun the plural

form

with an s sound an s sound so for

example

a marker is a countable noun

i can count it with numbers i can say

one marker two markers three markers and

so on

to make the countable or i’m sorry to

make the plural form

we simply add an s sound so here are

some more examples of countable

nouns dog student cookie

car so we add s to make the plural form

so more than one yeah so dogs

students cookies cars okay

so this is a countable noun

an uncountable noun on the other hand

is a noun we cannot count with numbers

we cannot say

one this or two that for an uncountable

noun

we use counter words to do this so

here are some examples of uncountable

nouns we have air

water time money

so we can’t say one money or

one time we don’t use one two three

before these nouns we use counters

so for example with water a bottle

of water or a glass of water

we use those counters to express

the amounts or the quantities with

uncountable

nouns right okay so this is the basic

then we need to think about countable

and uncountable nouns the difference is

when we want to talk about how much

or how many of something we have

so let’s begin with countable nouns just

a few examples here

when you want to express a large number

of something a countable noun you can

use

for example these expressions lots of

something many something tons of

or a lot of there are many

different expressions we can use to talk

about

large numbers but these are very very

common

so we use lots of plus the plural form

like lots of markers or many students

or tons of dogs or a lot of cookies

yeah so we use the plural form

noun plus s after this to express

a large number okay

then on the other hand oh uh samir abu

writes bottles of waters uh no we would

say

bottles of water we don’t put an s

at the end of this here bottles of water

your counter word is plural here

okay then on the other hand

when you want to talk about large

amounts

of uncountable nouns you can use

expressions like these so lots of is

okay to use for both

yeah lots of is good for both we can use

tons of also a lot of

and then i have here much this is a key

point i see

with learners lots of learners think oh

i use many

in this expression with countable nouns

much

here but we cannot use much

in a positive sentence when we’re

talking about

quantity so for example it’s incorrect

to say i have much time

that’s incorrect we only use

much with negative sentences

so for example i don’t have much time

okay so this is one kind of strange

point

to think about okay yes

uh mode usery huge yeah

huge is an adjective right so you can

say

a huge amount of something yes

so there are many different expressions

we can use to talk about

large numbers or large amounts i chose

in for today’s lesson i chose very very

common

expressions we use okay

all right okay i don’t see other

questions

some interesting examples are coming in

gentinee says lots of dogs eat pizza is

that true

okay all right good uh someone on

facebook sorry i can’t read your name

says i don’t have much time

good good good okay let’s continue so

we talked about large numbers and large

amounts now let’s talk about

small numbers and small amounts this

leads us to part two

for today’s lesson so to talk about

a small number you can use some

or a few or few what’s the difference

here we’re going to talk about this in

part two

of today’s lesson the difference between

a few and few what is the deal

on the other hand for uncountable nouns

we can use some also so some is okay

here

with both we can use a little

and little and again you might think

what is the difference

between those part two i’m going to

focus on these points

in part two okay then

this is another thing i’ve noticed some

learners make mistakes with when you

want to express

that you have more of something

than you need if your noun is countable

you can say too many too many

for example i have too many books i have

too many books like i have no space i

have too many books

if your noun is uncountable you use

i have too much free time

so in this expression we can it’s okay

to say

too much this is fine but we cannot use

much

i have much free time is incorrect okay

so please note we cannot use so in this

expression

uh sometimes i see learners using so and

two in the same way it’s incorrect i’m

going to talk about that in next week’s

live lesson actually okay so

this is the basis for today’s lesson

countable and

uncountable nouns we need to know this

to understand

the rest of today’s lesson the other

points

okay so if you have questions

uh please send them in the chat i will

try to

check your questions live okay looks

good so

let’s go to a very short break and then

we’re going to talk about

few and little and a few and a little

okay

cool so if you haven’t please do make

sure please make sure to hit the like

button yeah hit the thumbs up and share

the video it will help other people

uh to find today’s lesson okay

all right uh also if you missed it

earlier there is free stuff for you from

the link below the video

if you’re watching on youtube or above

the video if you’re watching

on facebook so here’s i chose a few that

i usually don’t show you

here’s a pdf about free time activities

leisure time activities means free time

the stuff you do in your free time

so you can find weekend plan expressions

on the back

like what are you doing this weekend i’m

going to

something something something yeah i

have to decide that i was thinking about

that this week

what are you doing this weekend okay so

you can check this out

and find some ideas for your weekend

down here

or i was also looking i show you this

one uh

sometimes the business english one two

on the back

are phrases you can use for a business

meeting

there are also quite a few new pdfs on

the website so if you

checked before uh and downloaded all of

them check again because there’s

the team added a lot of new things so

don’t miss it

you can still download it okay oh good

some questions are coming

um dennis on facebook youtube says can i

say

i did so many mistakes close say i made

so many mistakes we say to make a

mistake to make a mistake that’s a set

phrase i made

so many mistakes okay uh

says i don’t need more snacks i already

have too many snacks oh really

i can never have too many snacks i love

snacks

so okay uh good let’s go to

uh part two part two so uh let’s talk

about few

and a few and uh little and a little

this is a small difference i know

but it changes the feeling of your

sentence

a lot this decision so this is a key

point

for intermediate learners i think and

advanced learners

please please please remember this okay

so

let’s look a few phew what’s the deal

here

so this part is about

countable nouns that’s the first point

we use a few and few

with countable nouns so in this sentence

i’m going to in these two sentences i’m

going to compare

the differences so let’s read first

what’s the difference

my company bought a few computers my

company bought a few computers okay

and my company bought few computers

my company bought few computers both

sentences

are 100 correct no problem they’re great

great sentences perfect so what’s the

difference

the difference is right here this up so

my company bought a few computers or my

company bought

few computers what’s the difference this

sentence here

with a few sounds like a simple

neutral fact i’m giving you information

oh my company bought a few computers

last week

it’s just basic information like a

report yeah

this sentence my company bought few

computers sounds like a negative

situation or a negative

condition so my company bought few

computers

we need a lot though our team is growing

so this small change

shows us that the situation is negative

or maybe there was a negative

effect we’ll see the same thing with

little

in just a minute so this uh

shows us simple report simple fact

no up here shows it’s a negative

situation or condition

however there is one one case or one

uh one situation

where it does not mean it’s negative in

this example sentence

my company has few problems

so here i have few no uh my company has

few problems

if the noun after few problems

is a negative noun the feeling of the

sentence

is positive so one important point when

i say

negative noun here i mean this noun

means something bad something that’s a

problem something bad in society

in this case a problem is not a good

thing right

so my company has few problems

in this case when the noun is a bad

thing

and you use few the sentence sounds

positive the feeling is positive like

my company has few problems my company

has very few

problems it’s great this sentence sounds

happy it sounds good

okay so this is the difference with few

and a few okay good some of your

examples are coming in

good uh let’s see

there is uh oh salma there is a few

apple in the fridge very close

plural there are a few apples

in the fridge don’t forget your s at the

end of your countable noun

okay eduardo says why do you put apples

in the fridge

okay uh alright other examples

there are a few books for reading here

nice one

uh rakesh okay uh magdalena says i

bought

few computers okay yeah so that’s good

if you want to express

a negative situation or a negative

condition i bought few computers

okay danielle says there are few rich

people in the world

really really oh i don’t i don’t know

how many are there

okay all right let’s go then let’s go to

the next part someone uh

let’s see some of you are writing some

examples of this

let’s now let’s compare this to a little

and little so same thing right

uh little and little same idea as

a few and few the difference

we use little and a little with

uncountable nouns

uncountable nouns right so before we

talked about air

water time money we need counter words

for this

yeah okay so

let’s compare these two sentences

first we have a little time to finish

the project

we have a little time to finish the

project and

we have little time to finish the

project we have little time to finish

the project

so again these two the only difference

is this

uh yeah we have a little time and

we have little time again

this sentence with uh sounds like a

simple neutral fact we have a little

time to finish the project it’s okay

don’t worry we have a little time

sounds okay just fact this sentence

sounds

negative we have little time to finish

the project

we have little time sounds like oh we

need to rush or we need to hurry

there’s a lot to do we have little time

to finish

the project okay all right

i’m looking for your other questions no

okay so

same idea as with few but again we have

to use this with

uncountable nouns here my noun is time

this is an uncountable noun

we have a little time to finish the

project

so i cannot use a few we have a few time

no if you change this noun we have a few

hours hours is okay hours

is a countable noun a few

so make sure you check your noun is it

countable

or uncountable here

finally the same thing we saw in our

last example sentence here

with few is also true here

this example sentence my city has little

pollution my city has little pollution

what’s pollution pollution is like is

bad air

or bad water dirty air or dirty water so

the city is not

clean yeah so pollution

means all that bad or dirty stuff yeah

so my city has little pollution again

if the noun after little in this case

is a negative noun something bad

the feeling of the sentence is positive

so

my city has little pollution this is a

good thing

so pollution not good but i want to

express

there’s not very much of it my city has

little pollution

this sentence sounds positive okay

all right good looks good okay i’m

looking for your

questions

we still have a little time for a cup of

coffee says jorge perfect that’s a great

example you could use that at the end of

like a business meeting you could use

that

maybe after you have lunch with a friend

you can say oh we still have a little

time

for a cup of coffee not we still have

little time

but that little uh the small uh there it

makes a big difference

in feeling yeah okay um

ooh zachary i hope i said that right on

facebook says

there is little clean air in big cities

very nice

very nice okay good examples

javier what’s the difference between

little and small ah good point

in this yeah in this when we’re talking

about

how much of something when we’re talking

about a quantity

like this um we can use a small amount

of time i suppose

like in this sentence we have a small

amount

of time but we can’t replace it directly

we have

a small time to finish the project is

not doesn’t work

so we can’t switch uh little and small

in these example sentences if however

you are talking about size like

uh like a small car then it’s fine

there you can use both of them the same

okay

all right good time’s going quick so

let’s

go to the last point for today the final

point for today

is about enough and any how do we use

enough and how do we use any okay

let’s take a look again let’s compare a

few points so

uh enough this is one i see yeah

okay i see some mistakes with this so

let’s talk about it

uh all right oh some questions are

coming uh naeli

can these words be used formally and i’m

not sure what you mean by unnaturally

but formally yes you can use

uh these words in formal situations

uh you might hear some longer

expressions used

but yes you can okay um

other points cindy sms one of our

members hi says can i say a little bit

yes you can say a little bit that sounds

a little

casual actually okay um

okay let’s go to the last point enough

let’s talk about

enough what is the deal so again let’s

compare

enough two sentences first we have

enough time we have enough time

and we don’t have enough time

we don’t have enough time so what does

enough express what what does it steal

so when we use enough in a positive

sentence like this

in this case i have it with time an

uncountable noun

this means it matches the need in the

situation

we have enough time so enough time means

the time i have matches my

requirement matches my need so for

example

it takes me one hour to finish this task

i have one hour to finish the task i can

say

i have enough time it matches my need

on the other hand however we don’t have

enough time negative don’t have enough

time

means this does not match my need so

my task takes one hour i have 30 minutes

i don’t have enough time the time does

not

match my need

okay so sometimes i see

maybe like enough used in

sort of interesting ways so please be

careful of how you use

enough enough is used to talk about

matching

a requirement it’s also common to see

enough in requests and questions too

so here’s a request in this case i used

it with

a countable noun you can do this you can

use it with countable nouns uncountable

nouns

so for example please buy enough snacks

for everyone

at the party please buy enough snacks

for everyone at the party what does this

mean

make sure to meet the requirement or the

need

so i say to someone else please buy

enough snacks

for everyone at the party that means

please make sure

you buy snacks you buy so many snacks

that everyone can eat you are matching

the needs of our situation okay

all right good some examples are coming

in uh

that is enough water says bright moon

good i have enough clothes to wear good

okay miguel we don’t have enough money

good uh janteny

i don’t have enough meal maybe i don’t

have enough food in my fridge we would

say usually

uh i don’t have enough time good nice

examples everyone

okay look looks good looks really really

good okay

oh john carlos says can we use

sufficient

yes uh sufficient is

not used as much in everyday

conversation

uh sufficient is used in more

like business polite or um

like formal documents for example like

we did not have sufficient time to

prepare the report that sounds much more

formal

we don’t use it so much in everyday

conversation though yes

okay good uh okay i don’t see other

questions

let’s go to the last point for today

very quickly i want to review

any i didn’t talk about any at the

beginning of today’s lesson

so let’s cover it here any what

uh any we use any in questions

and we use any in negative

sentences for example do we have any

milk do we have any milk

sometimes i see learners go do we have

some milk

make sure to use any when you’re asking

questions like this do we have

any uh some not some and

when you want to talk about having zero

of something we don’t have any

snacks this sentence is okay too we

don’t have snacks

this one sounds more like oh we have

zero snacks

oh no we don’t have any snacks

okay so make sure you use them in these

two situations using questions using

negative sentences

i’m not going to talk about this point a

lot today because

there i have a video on the english

class 101

youtube and maybe on facebook and our

website

i talked about any and some and

quantifiers

so many points maybe i’ll put i’ll put

some links

uh in the youtube description after this

lesson so if you want to review

uh some of today’s points you can check

those links uh so please have a look at

the youtube description

when this lesson ends okay good some of

you are sending questions with any

uh some people say do you have any

questions for me do you have any idea

what time you’ll be there very nice

example

is there any food it says zupa very nice

uh yoshida uh says i don’t have any

money good

uh abby says do we have any money great

your any questions are really good

really good

um eduardo good question can we change

any for no uh so for example

like in this sentence uh we don’t have

any snacks

we cannot go do it directly

you can’t say we don’t have no snacks

some ways of speaking english use that

yes

uh but you might hear more commonly

we have no snacks we have no snacks

so no double negative there more common

is we have

no snacks yeah okay okay uh

wow some good examples are coming in all

right

everybody is really good with any that’s

awesome

that’s awesome okay but i have to finish

i don’t have

any more time left so i have to say

goodbye to you

if you would like to take a picture of

today’s lesson boards here you go

that is what we talked about today

countable and uncountable nouns

a few few a little little enough

and any and yeah after this lesson

hello 艾丽西娅冈萨雷斯嗨，

我们有相似的名字史蒂夫你好

过去完成时和将来时有什么区别

检查我们的youtube和facebook

视频英语课101视频

与今天的课程不同，

但我制作了很多关于这些

主题的视频

好吧我会的 给你看今天的课板

然后这

是我们今天的流程首先

我们将讨论可数和

不可数名词基础知识超级超级

基础我不会 lk about

details 今天我有几个

关于这个的视频

然后我们将讨论一些和

一些

一点点什么区别是

这里的主要区别

最后我们将

讨论足够

多的东西，所以今天的

我选择的课程 嗯，我想专注于

我注意到许多

学习者有疑问或我

读到

很多错误的主题，所以有时我一直在

阅读你的

评论，我注意到

这个主题有很多错误，

所以我 为今天选择了这些点

嗯，我将分享课程，

好吧，开始吧，所以让我们首先开始

可数名词和不可数

名词

，这可以吗？所以可数名词和

不可数名词

对你们中的一些人来说可能是初学者的语法点，

也许是 对你们中的一些人来说，一个新的语法点

基本上可数

名词是我们可以用数字计数的名词，这

意味着

我们将可数名词设为复数

形式

，带有 s 音和 s 音，

例如标记是可数 能名词

我可以用数字数我可以说

一个标记两个标记三个标记等等

以使可数或我很抱歉

使复数形式

我们只是添加一个s音所以这里有

一些可数

名词狗的例子 student cookie

car 所以我们加 s 使复数

形式不止一个是的 so dogs

students cookies cars OK

所以这是一个可数名词

另一方面

是一个不可数名词是一个我们不能用数字计数的名词

我们不能说

一个 this 或 二对于不可数

名词

我们使用反词来做到这一点所以

这里有一些不可数

名词的例子我们有空气

水时间钱

所以我们不能说一钱或

一次我们不要

在这些名词之前使用一二三我们 使用

计数器，例如用水，

一瓶水

或一杯水 rence 是

当我们想谈论

我们拥有多少或多少东西的时候，

所以让我们从可数名词开始，

这里只是几个例子，

当你想表达大量

的东西时，你可以使用可数名词

，例如这些表达方式很多

一些东西很多东西吨

或很多有很多

不同的表达方式我们可以用来谈论

大量但这些非常

常见

所以我们使用很多加复数形式

如很多标记或许多学生

或吨狗或a 很多饼干

是的，所以我们使用复数形式的

名词加 s 在这之后表示

一个很大的数字，好吧，

然后另一方面，哦，呃，萨米尔阿布

写瓶装水，呃，不，我们会

说

瓶装水，我们不放

s 在这瓶水的结尾，

你的反词在这里是复数，

好吧，另一方面，

当你想谈论

大量不可数名词时，你可以使用这样的

表达方式，所以很多都

可以用于

两者是的 很多对两者都有好处，我们可以使用

吨也很多

，然后我在这里有很多这是

我

在学习者身上看到的一个关键点很多学习者认为哦，

我

在这个表达中使用了很多可数名词

，但我们不能使用

当我们谈论数量时，在积极的句子中

很多，例如

说我有很多时间

是不正确的，我们只

在否定句子中使用很多，

所以例如我没有太多时间，

好吧，所以这是一种奇怪

点

想 好 是

uh mode usery

huge 是 巨大 是形容词 对 所以你可以

说很多东西

选择了非常

常用的

表达方式 没读到你的名字

说我没有太多时间

好 好 好 好吧 让我们继续，所以

我们讨论了大数字和大

金额 现在让我们谈谈

小数字和小金额 这

导致我们

进入今天课程的第二部分，所以谈谈 关于

一个小数，你可以使用 some

或 some or few 有什么区别

，我们将在

今天课程的第二部分讨论这个 some 和 few 之间的区别

另一方面，不可数名词有什么区别，

我们 也可以使用一些，所以一些

在

这里都可以，我们可以

一点一点地使用，然后你可能会认为第二

部分之间有什么区别我将

在第二部分中关注这些点，好吧，

这是另一回事 ‘已经注意到有些

学习者在你

想

表达你拥有的东西

比你需要的多时会犯错误如果你的名词是可数的

你可以说太多太多

例如我有太多书我有

太多书就像我没有 我

有空间 书太多，

如果你的名词不可数，你使用

我有太多空闲时间

所以在这个表达中我们可以

说

太多这很好但我们不能使用

太多

我有很多空闲时间是不正确的，

所以请注意我们不能使用 所以在这个

表达中，

呃有时我看到学习者

用相同的方式使用 so 和 two 这是不正确的，我

将在下周的

现场课程中讨论这个实际上还可以，所以

这是今天课程

可数和

不可数名词的基础，我们需要知道 这是

为了理解

今天课程的其余部分 其他

点

好的 所以如果你有问题

呃 请在聊天中发送 我会

试着

检查你的问题 好的 看起来

不错 所以

让我们休息一下

谈论

很少，很少，还有一点，

好吧，

很酷，所以如果你还没有，请

犯错误犯错误 这是一个固定的

短语我犯

了很多错误好吧呃

说我不需要更多零食我已经

有太多零食了哦真的

我永远不会有太多零食我喜欢

零食

所以好吧好吧让我们去

呃第二部分第二部分所以 呃，让我们谈谈

很少和一些，呃，一点点，

我知道这是一个很小的区别，

但它改变了你的

句子

的感觉这个决定所以这是

我认为中级学习者和

高级学习者的关键点

请拜托 记住这没关系

所以

让我们看一下这里有什么交易

所以这部分是关于

可数名词这是我们使用可数名词的第一点

，所以在这句话中

我将在这两个句子中我

要去

比较差异 所以让我们先来

看看有什么区别

我的公司买了几台电脑 我的

公司买了几台电脑

还好我的公司买了几台电脑

我的公司买了几台电脑 两个

句子

都是 100 正确没问题 它们很棒

很棒的句子完美所以有什么

区别

区别就在这里，所以

我的公司买了几台电脑或我的

公司买了

几台电脑有什么区别这

句话在这里

有一些听起来像一个简单的

中性事实我给你信息

哦，我的公司上周买了几台电脑

这只是

报告之类的基本

信息

或者也许有一个负面

影响，我们会在一分钟内看到同样的事情，

所以这个呃

向我们展示了简单 e 报告简单的事实

no up here 表明这是一个消极的

情况或条件

但是有一种情况或一种

uh one 情况

在这个例句中并不意味着它是消极的

如果几个问题后面的名词

是否定名词，则很少有问题 句子的感觉

是肯定的，所以当

我

在这里说否定名词时，我的意思是这个名词的

意思很重要

不是

一件好事，

所以我的公司

在这种情况下几乎没有问题 当名词是坏事

而你使用很少 句子听起来很

积极 感觉是积极的，就像

我的公司很少有问题 我的

公司很少有

问题 这很好这句话 听起来很

高兴 听起来不错

好吧 所以这就是少数几个的区别

好吧 很好 你的一些

例子

很好 呃 让我们看看

有 呃 哦 萨尔玛 有一些

apple in the freezer 非常接近的

复数 there are a few apples

in the freezer 不要忘记

可数名词末尾

的 s 读到这里

不错

呃 rakesh 好吧 呃 magdalena 说我

买了

几台电脑

我不知道

有多少

好吧 好吧 让我们

去 下一部分

对

uh little and little 与 some

and few 相同的想法

我们对不可数名词使用 little and a little 的区别

所以

让我们首先比较这两个句子

我们有一点时间来

完成项目

我们有一点时间来完成

项目

我们几乎没有时间来完成

项目 我们几乎没有时间来

完成项目

所以这两个唯一的区别

是

嗯，是的，我们有一点时间，

我们也没有多少时间了，

这句话听起来像是一个

简单的中性事实，我们有一点

时间来完成项目，

没关系，别担心，我们有一点时间

听起来不错，只是事实这句话

听起来很

消极 我们没有多少时间来完成

这个项目

我们没有多少时间 听起来我们

需要赶时间或者我们需要快点

有很多事情要做 我们没有多少时间

来完成

这个项目 好吧 好吧

我正在寻找你的其他问题 不可以，

所以

和很少的想法一样，但是我们必须再次

在这里使用不可数名词我的名词是时间

这是一个不可数名词

我们有一点时间来完成

项目

所以我不能使用一些我们有一些t 我

不，如果你改变这个名词，我们有几个

小时是可以的，小时

是一个可数名词，

所以一定要检查你的名词是

可数

还是不可数，

最后和我们在

上一个例句中看到

的一样，很少是 在这里也是如此

这个例句 我的城市几乎没有

污染 我的城市几乎没有污染

什么是污染 污染就像是

坏空气

或坏水 脏空气或脏水

所以城市不

干净 是的 所以污染

意味着所有那些坏或脏的东西

如果在这种情况下，little 后面的名词

是否定名词的话，我的城市又没有污染

了，句子的感觉是肯定的，

所以

我的城市污染

很少 我的城市

几乎没有污染

这句话听起来很积极

好的 好的 看起来不错 我

正在寻找你的

问题

我们还有一点时间喝杯

咖啡 豪尔赫·珀夫说 等等，这是一个很好的

例子，您可以在商务会议结束时使用它，

您可以在与朋友共进午餐后使用它，

您可以说哦，我们还有一点

时间

喝杯咖啡，不是我们还有

一点时间

但是那个小，呃，小，呃，

感觉有很大的不同

是的，好吧，嗯，

扎卡里，我希望我在

脸书上说

，大城市里几乎没有干净的空气，

非常好

非常好，好很好的例子

哈维尔小有什么区别

小啊，好

点，是的，当我们谈论像这样

的数量时，

我们可以使用

少量时间，我想

就像在这句话中一样，我们有少量

的时间，但我们不能直接替换它

我们有

一小段时间来完成该项目

不是不起作用，

所以我们不能在这些例句中切换 uh little and small

如果

你在谈论像

uh like a 这样的大小 小车t 很好

，你可以同时使用它们，

好的，

好的，时间过得很快，所以

让我们

进入今天的最后一点，今天的最后

一点已经足够了，我们如何使用

足够的，我们如何使用任何好的

让我们再看看 让我们比较

几个点

嗯 够了 这是一个 我明白了

我

不知道你所说的不自然

但正式是什么意思是的你可以

在正式场合使用呃这些词

呃你可能会听到一些更长的

表达

但是是的你可以的嗯

其他点辛迪短信我们的一位

成员嗨说我能说一下吗

是的，你可以说一点，这听起来

有点

随意，实际上还好，

好吧，让我们进入最后一点，

让我们讨论

足够多的事情是什么所以再次让

我们先比较足够多的两个句子我们有

足够的时间我们有足够的时间

，我们 没有足够的时间

我们没有足够的时间所以

什么足以表达它偷了什么

所以当我们在像这样的肯定句中使用足够时

在这种情况下我有它与时间一个

不可数名词

这意味着它匹配 需要在这种

情况下

我们有足够的时间所以足够的时间意味着

我的时间符合我的

要求符合我的需要例如

我需要一个小时来完成这项任务

我有一个小时来完成任务我可以

说

我有足够的时间 另一方面符合我的需要

但是我们没有

足够的时间否定没有足够的

时间

意味着这不符合我的需要所以

我的任务需要一个小时我有 30 分钟

我没有足够的时间时间没有

可以满足我的需要，

所以有时我看到

可能以

某种有趣的方式

使用了足够的东西，所以请注意你如何使用

足够的东西来谈论

匹配需求，

在请求和问题中也经常看到足够的东西，

所以这里有一个请求 在 th 如果我将

它与

可数名词一起使用 你可以这样做 你可以

将它与可数名词一起使用

满足要求或

需要，

所以我对别人说，请

为聚会上的每个人买足够的零食，这意味着

请确保

你买零食你买了这么多零食

，每个人都可以吃你符合

我们情况的需要，好吧

好吧好吧 一些例子来

了，嗯

，水

就够了 冰箱 我们

通常会说

呃 我没有足够的时间 很好的

例子 每个人都

可以 看起来不错 看起来真的

很好

日常

对话

uh enough 用于

更像商务礼貌或

像正式文件一样，例如

我们没有足够的时间

准备听起来更正式的报告，

我们在日常对话中并没有太多使用它，

虽然是的，

好的，嗯 好的，我没有看到其他

问题，

让我们很快进入今天的最后一点

我们在否定句中使用任何

例如 do we have any

milk do we have any milk

当你想谈论零点

的东西时，我们没有

零食这句话也可以

确保你使用 在这

两种情况下使用

否定句的问题

我今天不打算谈论这一点

，

因为我在英语课 101 youtube 上有一个视频

，也许在 facebook 和我们的

网站上

我谈到了任何和一些和

量词

这么多点，也许我会放

一些链接，

呃，这节课之后我会在 youtube 描述中放一些链接，

所以如果你想复习

呃今天的一些要点，你可以查看

这些链接，所以请在

这个时候查看 youtube 描述

课程结束 好的 好的

你们中的一些人正在发送问题

呃 有人说

你有什么问题要问我 你知道

你什么时候会在那里

说我没有

钱 很好

嗯 艾比说我们有钱吗 很好

你的任何问题都很好 真的很好

嗯 爱德华多 很好的问题 我们可以改变

任何没有 呃 例如

像这句话

任何 零食

我们不能直接

去做 你不能说我们没有零食

一些说英语的方式 使用

是的

呃 但你可能更常见的是

我们没有零食 我们没有零食

所以没有双重否定 更常见的

是 我们

没有零食 是的 好吧 好吧 呃

哇 一些很好的例子来了

如果你想

在这里给今天的课板拍照，那就去吧

可数名词和不可数

名词，一些，一些，一点点，
