Answer 2

Respuesta:

least

All quantifiers are determiners that express quantity, sometimes exact. But with graded quantifiers we can express approximate quantity on a relative scale (rising ➚ and falling ➘). (This idea is similar to adjectives such as big, bigger, biggest or small, smaller, smallest.) Also note, in the following table, that four of these quantifiers are used with countable nouns (C), four with uncountable nouns (U) and two with both.

quantifier comparative superlative

increasing ➚

C many more most

U much

decreasing ➘

C few fewer fewest

U little less least

many/much

The quantifiers many and much mean "a large quantity of". We use many with countable nouns and much with uncountable nouns:

Were there many people at the party? Was it busy?

We don't have much time left so let's go soon.

Note that we tend to use many/much in negative and question sentences. For positive sentences, especially in informal English, we prefer a lot of, or (very informal) lots of.

C U

+ I've got a lot of eggs a lot of rice

- I haven't got many eggs much rice

? Have you got many eggs? much rice?

more, most

Many/much (and few/little) are unusual determiners because they have comparative and superlative forms. The comparative form of many/much is more; and the superlative form of many/much is most. We can use more and most with countable and uncountable nouns.

Look at these example sentences:

Many people use the Internet and more people join every year.

Last year there was a lot of crime, but there is even more crime this year.

Whoever has most points is the winner.

Since you have the most money, why don't you pay?

few/little

The quantifiers few and little mean "a small quantity of". We use few with countable nouns and little with uncountable nouns:

There were few people in the shop so it didn't take long.

There is little chance that he will come now so let's go home
