Exercises
Now it's your turn, make sentences using each of the quantifiers,
make at least two interrogative and two negative sentences. And
you have to use the food vocabulary.

Too much/many - Not enough

Too much Un-countable Too many Countable

There is too much pasta on the There are too many chips on my
plate plate
There isn’t There aren’t
enough money enough dollars
in my piggy in my piggy
bank bank

We use not enough for both un/countable.

Just be careful to use:
There isn’t enough - Un-countable
There aren´t enough - Countable

There is too much

We aren’t happy because there is a
lot of something
There are too many
We aren’t happy because there
There isn’t/aren’t enough isn’t much of something
