CÁC TỪ (CỤM TỪ) DIỄN TẢ SỐ LƯỢNG (EXPRESSIONS OF QUANTITY)
EX: I want some milk –
I need some eggs.
* Đôi khi “some” được dùng trong câu hỏi (khi chúng t among chờ câu trả lời là YES Hoặc được dùng trong câu yêu cầu, lời mời hoặc lời đề nghị.
EX: Did you buy some oranges?
Would you like some more coffee?
May I go out for some drink?
2 Any: một ít, một vài
* “Any” thường đặt trước danh từ đếm được (số nhiều) hoặc danh từ không đếm được trong câu phủ định hoặc nghi vấn.
EX: Do you want any sugar? She didn’t see any boys in her class.
* “Any” được dùng trong mệnh đề khẳng định, trước danh từ số ít (đếm được hoặc không đếm được) hoặc sau các từ có nghĩa phủ định (never, hardly, scarely, without….)
EX: I’m free all day Come and see me any time you like
He’s lazy He never does any work
If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address?

Notes:
– Khi danh từ đã được xác định, chúng ta có thể dùng some và any không có danh từ theo sau
EX: Tim wanted some milk, but he couldn’t find any
or If you have no stamps, I will give you some.
-Các đại từ (something, anything, someone, anyone, somebody, anybody,
somewhere, anywhere…) được dùng tương tự như cách dùng some, any

A large number of students in this school are good.

EX: Do you know many people here?
Or We didn’t spend much money for Christmas presents But we spent a lot of money for the party
Tuy nhiên trong lối văn trang trọng, đôi khi chúng ta có thể dùng many và much trong câu xác định Và trong lối nói thân mật, a lot of cũng có thể dùng được trong câu phủ định và nghi vấn
Ex: Many students have financial problem
There was much bad driving on the road
I don’t have many/ a lot of friends
Do you eat much/ a lot of fruit?
– Notes:
-Khi trong câu xác định có các từ “very, too, so, as.” thì phải dùng “Much,
Many” (Không được dùng a lot of, lots of, plenty of)
EX: There is too much bad news on TV tonight.
There are too many mistakes in your writing.
There are so many people here that I feel tired.
Very much thường được dùng trong câu khẳng định như một trạng từ, chứ không phải là
từ hạn định

Or Thank you very much
Many of, much of + determiner/ pronoun
Ex: I won’t pass the exam; I’ve missed many of my lessons.

NOTES:
– Only a little và only a few có nghĩa phủ định

Only a few customers have come in (only a few = not many)
– (a) little of/ (a) few of + determiner/ pronoun
Ex: Only a few of the children in this class like math

1 All, most, some, no, all of, most of, some of, none of:
1.All (tất cả), most (phần lớn, đa số), some (một vài), no (không), được dùng như từ hạn

my, his, this, …) và các đại từ

Or Most of her friends live abroad.
NOTES:
– Chúng ta có thể bỏ of sau all hoặc half khi of đứng trước từ hạn định (không được bỏ of khi
of đứng trước đại từ
Ex: All (of) my friends live in London But all of them have been to the meeting
Trang 10Half (of) this money is mine, and half of it is yours
Chúng ta thường không dùng of khi không có từ hạn định (mạo từ hoặc từ sở hữu) đứng trước danh từ Tuy nhiên trong một vài trường hợp most of cũng có thể
được dùng mà không có từ hạn định theo sau, ví dụ như trước các tên riêng và địa danh.
Ex: The Romans conquered most of England
Các cụm danh từ đứng sau all of, most of, some of,… thường xác định (phải
có the, these, those,… hoặc các tính từ sở hữu)
Ex: Most of the boys in my class want to choose well-paid job
Chúng ta có thể bỏ danh từ sau all, most, some, none nếu nghĩa đã rõ ràng
Ex: I wanted some cake, but there was none left
Or The band sang a few songs Most were old ones, but some were new.
Every, each
Thường được dùng trước danh từ đếm được ở số ít
Ex: The police questioned every/ each person in the building
Or Every/ each room has a number
Trong nhiều trường hợp, every và each có thể được dùng với nghĩa tương tự nhau
Ex: You look more beautiful each/ every time I see you
Tuy nhiên every và each vẫn có sự khác biệt nhau về nghĩa
Every (mỗi, mọi)
Chúng ta dùng every khi chúng ta nghĩ về người hoặc vật như một tổng thể hoặc một nhóm (cùng nghĩa với all)
Ex: Every guest watched as the President came in
Or I go for a walk every day
Every có thể được dùng để nói về ba hoặc nhiều hơn ba người hoặc vật, thường là một số
Ex: Each day seemed to pass very slowly
Each có thể được dùng để nói về hai hoặc nhiều hơn hai, thường là một nhóm nhỏ người
hoặc vật
