In this lesson, I'm going to introduce some question and answer patterns that you can use with how much and how many.

This will be a lesson also to remind you about accountable and uncountable now.

So first I want to review when to use how much and how many these two key points to begin the questions for today.

First of all, let's look at how many remember we use how many when we want to make a question about accountable now.

So we use how many with accountable now owns, remember accountable, known as ah now.

And we can count with numbers 12 and three.

So to make a regular accountable now, we simply use the regular now and add an s sound to the end of it.

So this is for regular now NHs to make the plural form of a regular accountable now.

So, for example, marker becomes markers with an S sound shirt becomes shirts, for example, we simply add an s for regular.

Now, however, there are some now owns that haven't irregular plural form for today.

A couple that I want to focus on are these two person.

So when we count person, we say one person.

This is an example of an irregular, accountable.

Now another one is child, so we say one child.

So two Children, three Children, a lot of Children off course.

We can't say kids, but that's slightly a different kind of a just a different word to use.

So when you use the word child, please remember to use Children as the plural form.

So these are a couple of good ones to focus on for today.

We'll use these in sentences with how many because they're accountable now then how much is the second part for today's lesson?

The second kind of question beginning expression, eh?

So how much is used with uncountable knowns?

Uncountable, Now's remember, are now as we cannot count.

You might also know the expression mass now as well.

So some common examples of uncountable mounds are like air, beer, wine, money time.

However, we can count to the individual units inside these now.

So with that in mind, let's begin by looking at how many questions.

So these are going to be questions with accountable mounts.

I tried to make a few samples that you could maybe use in your everyday life.

And then I made a big list of some sample.

So I have included an s in parentheses here because, uh, for regular announce, we will use the plural form here with an s sound at the end.

However, if you're using an irregular now, you might not need It s here.

If you want to ask how many Children do you have, you don't need an s year.

So that's why this s is here in the parentheses.

But for each of these examples, the S is here to remind you that you need to use the plural form.

So if the question is, how many Children do you have?

But if you say how many child do you have, it's incorrect.

You need to use the plural form when you're asking each of these questions.

So, 1st 1 how many somethings do you have?

A 2nd 1 How many are there so you can use this in a room?

I think how many somethings are coming to the event?

So I have used a very, very general event planning question here.

You could change event to party or barbecue or meeting whatever any kind of gathering you can use this question for.

Finally, how many do you need a shopping question?

So these are very, very general questions, like I said, but they all use how many.

So I want to talk about a lot of examples for your answers to these questions.

1st 1 I want to look at this group right here for sample answers.

Um, these answers will use some quantify air, so aQuantive fire is an expression we use to explain the amount of something.

So this is maybe, like, three or four, for example.

And again, we're using the plural form here to answer the question.

For example, I have a few movies, so don't forget this plural form at the end of the sentence as well.

If, however, you would like to use a specific number to answer the question, you know the answer.

Using a specific number, you can do that.

So, for example, how many Children do you have?

Just a number, and you can finish the sentence there.

If you want to include the noun again after that, that's fine, too.

I have two Children, so again used the plural form here, or I have two kids if you want to use a different now.

So if you want to use a specific number, fine.

Here's a pattern to do that, Um, another quantify WR that I included here is I have a couple and you'll notice I included of here in parentheses as well.

It sounds like Do write to people like a couple dating.

So for me, the image of a couple of something is two of something or a very small amount.
