Practica con estos ejercicios too much / too many

En este post vamos a practicar con los quantifiers too much y too many y otros quantifiers, porque it’s never too much practice!

 

Too much too many: recordatorio

Recordad que usamos too much y too many para hablar sobre una cantidad que es mayor de lo que queremos o necesitamos.

• Too much se usa con sustantivos incontables: There is too much salt in the soup

• Too many se usa con sustantivos contables: There are too many people at this party!

Debemos tener en cuenta que para indicar la idea contraria no nos sirve decir there isn’t too much/too many, ya que esto indicaría que no hay mucho de lo que sea, pero podría ser suficiente.

• Para indicar que no hay suficiente de algo usamos not enough tanto con contables como con incontables: There is not enough gas to get home.
