Rules in this topic

3
  • A1

    Some vs. any

    Some is usual in affirmative statements, offers, and requests. Any is usual in neutral negatives and questions: I don't have any money. Negative some can refer to a particular amount or subset, so it is not always an error.

  • B1

    Quantifier countability agreement

    Use 'many', 'few', 'fewer' with countable plural nouns (many books). Use 'much', 'little', 'less' with uncountable nouns (much water).

  • B2

    Neither / either / each + of = singular

    Neither of, either of, and each of are singular subjects: Neither of the options is acceptable, not are.
