Grammar

10 cards

Quantities tell us about how much or how many of something we have. In English, the words we use depend on whether the noun is countable (we can count them: one apple, two apples) or uncountable (we cannot count them: water, money, time). The choice of question word and quantifier depends on this difference, and choosing the wrong one is one of the most common mistakes B1 learners make.

The two main question words are:

How many + countable noun (plural): How many friends do you have?
How much + uncountable noun: How much time do we have?

For answers, we have several common quantifiers. Look at the table:

	Countable (plural)	Uncountable
Question word	How many	How much
Large quantity	a lot of / lots of	a lot of / lots of
Positive small	a few (some)	a little (some)
Negative small	few (almost none)	little (almost none)

A lot of is the most flexible quantifier — it works with both countable and uncountable nouns. We often use it in positive sentences: I drink a lot of coffee. We can also say lots of in informal English: There are lots of people here. Another positive synonym is plenty of: We have plenty of time. This sounds generous and relaxed.

A few and a little both mean "some" — the quantity is small but enough. I have a few minutes. / There is a little milk in the fridge. Use a few with countable plurals and a little with uncountables. Both are positive in feeling, like saying "there's a small amount, and that's fine".

Without the article "a", the words change meaning. Few (countable) and little (uncountable) mean "almost none" and sound negative. Few people came to the meeting. (Almost nobody came.) We have little time. (Almost no time.) Be careful — these words are less common than a few and a little in everyday English.

In questions and negatives, native speakers usually prefer a lot of → much / many: I don't have much time. / There aren't many chairs. However, in polite questions in British English, we can still use a lot of: Do you have a lot of work? Sounds natural.

The key rule to remember: the same idea (a small positive amount) is expressed with a few (countable) or a little (uncountable). Choose the right one based on the noun.

الكمّية في الإنجليزي: عدّ ولا ما عدّ؟

يا صديقي، موضوع الكلام عن الكميات في الإنجليزي بيعتمد على سؤال بسيط جدًا: الكلمة اللي قدامك دي تقدر تعدّها ولا لأ؟ لو تقدر تعدّها زي friends أو apples، تبقى countable (اللي بنعدّه). لو مش قادر تعدّها زي water أو money أو time، تبقى uncountable (اللي مش بنعدّه). وده هو السر اللي هيخلّيك تختار الكلمة الصح في أي جملة.

السؤال: How many ولا How much؟

How many بتيجي مع الأسماء اللي بنعدّها وبتكون جمع: How many friends do you have in this city?
How much بتيجي مع الأسماء اللي مش بنعدّها: How much time do we have?

الإجابات والكلمات اللي بتوصف الكمية

في كلمة واحدة شغّالة مع الاتنين، وهي a lot of (أو lots of في الكلام العادي). تقدر تقول I drink a lot of coffee، أو We have a lot of friends. كمان في plenty of وده بيدي إحساس إن الكمية كتير ومفيش قلق: We have plenty of time.

الزوج المهم: a few ولا a little؟

A few مع الجمع اللي بنعدّه، وبتعني "فيه شوية بس كفاية": I have a few minutes.
A little مع الاسم اللي مش بنعدّه، وبتعني "فيه شوية بس كفاية": There is a little milk in the fridge.

الكلمتين دول إيجابيين، يعني فيه كمية صغيرة بس مفيش مشكلة، زي ما تقول "فيه شوية وده تمام".

لما نشيل "a"، المعنى يقلب!

Few (من غير a) معناها "قليل جدًا، تقريبًا ولا حد": Few people came to the meeting.
Little (من غير a) معناها "وقت قليل جدًا": We have little time.

خد بالك، دول بيبانوا سلبيين وبيتقالوا أقل في الكلام العادي.

في الأسئلة والنفي

الأحسن تقول much مع uncountable و many مع countable: I don't have much time. / There aren't many chairs. بس في الأسئلة المهذبة في الإنجليزي، a lot of بتفضل طبيعية: Do you have a lot of work?

القاعدة الذهبية: نفس الفكرة (كمية صغيرة وإيجابية) بتتقال a few لو الاسم countable، أو a little لو uncountable. اختار على حسب النوع.

Listening

5 cards

Imagine two friends, Emma and Tom, are getting ready for a party at home. They are in the kitchen, looking in the fridge and checking what they need to buy at the shop. Listen to their conversation and notice how they use how much and how many, and the quantifiers a lot of, a few, a little and plenty of.

Before you listen, think about this: when you are planning a party, what do you usually need to buy? How much food and how many drinks do you usually need for fifteen or twenty people?

In the conversation, you will hear Emma and Tom discussing:

how many people are coming to the party
how much food they have already
how many bottles and bags they need to buy
how much time they have before the party

As you listen, pay attention to:

The question words Emma and Tom use. Which one comes before a countable noun? Which one comes before an uncountable noun?
The nouns that follow how much and how many.
The quantifiers they use to answer — a lot of, a few, a little, plenty of.

The speakers use natural British English, with some words in weak forms (for example, "a lot of" sounds like /ə lɒt əv/). Try to catch the meaning rather than every single word. Native speakers miss words too, and we use context to understand.

Setting: Emma and Tom are at home in the kitchen, planning for a party tonight. The party is at their flat, and several friends are coming. They are looking at what they already have and making a shopping list.

After you have listened once, try to answer the gist question: what are Emma and Tom preparing for? Then listen again for the specific information: how many people are coming? Finally, listen a third time for a detail — what does Emma say they should get 'a lot of'?

This three-stage listening approach helps you understand real English at natural speed. Don't worry if you miss something the first time — that is normal. Focus on the key words: the question words, the numbers, and the quantifiers.

الإصغاء بتركيز: الكميات في الإنجليزي

في الجزء ده هتسمع Emma و Tom في المطبخ، وهم بيحضروا لحفلة بالليل. الحوار بينهم بسيط، بس مليان بكلمات أساسية عن الكميات محتاج تركز عليها.

How much ولا How many؟

أهم حاجة في الدرس ده هي الفرق بين الكلمتين دول:

How many بنستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي بنقدر نعدّها (countable nouns). في الحوار هتسمع Emma بتقول "How many people are coming?" يعني ناس تقدر تعدّهم. وكمان Tom بيقول "How many bottles should I buy?" — زجاجات، ودول بنعدّهم.
How much بنستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي مش بنقدر نعدّها (uncountable nouns). Tom بيسأل "How much pizza should we order?" لأنك مش بتعدّ البيتزا زي الفاكهة. وكمان "How much time do we have?" لأن الوقت مش حاجة بتتعد.

القاعدة السهلة: many مع المعدود، much مع غير المعدود.

الكلمات الكمية (Quantifiers)

في الحوار كمان أربع كلمات مهمة بنسمّيهم quantifiers، وكل واحدة ليها استخدام مختلف:

A lot of = كتير. Emma بتقول "Let's get a lot. People always eat a lot at parties." — بتنفع مع المعدود وغير المعدود.
A few = كام حاجة، شوية. Tom بيقول "We just need a few more things." — للمعدود بس.
A little = شوية. Emma بتقول "We need a little more juice." — لغير المعدود بس.
Plenty of = أكتر من كفاية. كلمة حلوة ممكن تستخدمها بدل a lot of.

إزاي تستمع صح

الدرس ده مقسوم على تلات مراحل: أول مرة اسمع عشان الفكرة العامة (هما بيحضروا إيه؟). تاني مرة ركز على الأرقام والكميات. تالت مرة دوّري على التفاصيل الصغيرة زي "a lot of pizza". لو فاتتك حاجة مرة، عادي جداً — الناطقين الأصليين نفسهم بيفوّتهم كلام وبيفهموا من السياق.

Pronunciation

6 cards

The vowel in a lot is one of the most important British English sounds. In British English, the word 'lot' uses the short vowel /ɒ/. Many European and Arabic languages do not have this exact sound, so it is a key sound to learn for clear British pronunciation.

The LOT vowel /ɒ/ — how to make it:

Open your mouth quite wide, like a small 'O'.
The back of your tongue is low and pulled back in the mouth.
Your lips are slightly rounded (but not as much as for /uː/).
The sound is short — it does not glide from one position to another.
Your voice is on (your vocal cords vibrate).

Words with /ɒ/: a lot, got, hot, not, coffee, wash, what, sorry

The GOAT vowel /əʊ/ — how to make it:

Start with your mouth slightly more open, like the schwa /ə/.
Your tongue moves from back-low to front-mid.
Your lips round strongly and push forward at the end of the sound.
The sound is longer — it glides from /ə/ to /ʊ/.
Your voice is on throughout.

Words with /əʊ/: coat, note, go, home, phone, slow, don't, know

The contrast between /ɒ/ and /əʊ/ is a very common pronunciation problem. Native British speakers hear them as completely different sounds:

hot /hɒt/ ≠ coat /kəʊt/
not /nɒt/ ≠ note /nəʊt/
got /gɒt/ ≠ goat /gəʊt/

In a lot of, the /ɒ/ is short and clear. The following word "of" is unstressed, so it becomes the schwa /ə/ — we say /ə lɒt əv/. The first "a" is also a weak schwa. The 'v' at the end of "of" is soft, not strong.

This /ɒ/ sound is also in common words in your lesson: a lot, not, got, what, want, watch. Notice the spelling 'o' usually means /ɒ/ in British English when the word is short: hot, lot, not, got. But when the word ends in a silent 'e', the 'o' often becomes /əʊ/: note, phone, rope.

Practice the contrast with these pairs: hot/coat, lot/coat, not/note, got/goat. Listen to native speakers, then repeat each one. Watch the speaker's lips — they should round more for the GOAT vowel. The most common mistake is using the GOAT vowel in LOT words (saying 'lote' instead of 'lot').

Remember: a short, rounded 'o' for LOT words, a long gliding 'o' for GOAT words.

صوت الـ LOT /ɒ/ في الإنجليزي البريطاني

في اللغة الإنجليزية البريطانية، في صوت مهم جدًا اسمه LOT vowel، ورمزه /ɒ/. ده صوت قصير وموجود في كلمات كتير بنستخدمها كل يوم. المشكلة إن اللغات العربية والأوروبية التانية مش فيها بالظبط الصوت ده، فبيبقى صعب شوية على المتعلم. بس لما تفهم إزاي بتعمله ببقك، الموضوع بيبقى سهل.

إزاي تعمل الصوت ده ببقك؟

عشان تعمل صوت الـ /ɒ/ صح في الكلمات زي a lot وhot وcoffee، اتبع الخطوات دي:

افتح بقك واسع، زي ما بتعمل لما تقول 'أو' صغيرة
حط لسانك واطي ورا في بقك، مش قدام
شفايفك تبقى مدورة شوية، بس مش زي ما بتعمل في صوت الـ 'oo' الطويل في 'food'
الصوت ده قصير ومحدد، مش بيزحلق من مكان لمكان تاني
صوتك يكون شغال طول ما بتقول الصوت (الحبال الصوتية بتتهز)

الفرق بين LOT و GOAT

دي أهم نقطة لازم تفهمها. في British English، في صوت تاني قريب من LOT، اسمه GOAT vowel ورمزه /əʊ/. الصوت ده مختلف تمامًا:

بيبدأ من بق مفتوح شوية، وبعدين شفايفك بتتحرك لقدام وبتتقفل
الصوت أطول وبيزحلق من /ə/ لـ /ʊ/
شفايفك بتدور بقوة وبتطلع لقدام

كلمات فيها كل صوت

صوت LOT /ɒ/ (قصير ومقفول):

a lot – بتستخدمها لما تتكلم عن الكميات
hot, got, not, what, sorry, coffee, wash

صوت GOAT /əʊ/ (طويل وبيزحلق):

coat, note, go, home, phone, slow, don't, know

الغلطة اللي كتير من المتعلمين بيعملوها

أكبر مشكلة إن الناس بتستخدم صوت GOAT الطويل في كلمات LOT. يعني بيقولوا 'lote' بدل 'lot'، أو 'hote' بدل 'hot'. خلي بالك إن الـ LOT قصير ومقفول، ما بيطلعش زي الصوت في 'go'.

لما بتقول 'a lot of'

الجملة a lot of بتنطق كده: /ə lɒt əv/. أول 'a' في 'a' بتكون schwa ضعيفة. كلمة 'of' في الآخر برضو بتكون schwa، والـ 'v' فيها تبقى ناعمة مش قوية.

نصيحة للتدريب

دلوقتي ركز في التمرين اللي جاي. اسمع للمتحدث الأصلي كويس، وبعدين كرر وراه. بص على شفايفه عشان تشوف إنها بتدور أكتر في صوت GOAT عن LOT. جرّب على الأزواج دي: hot/coat, lot/coat, not/note, got/goat. الفرق هيبقى واضح ليك.

LOT /ɒ/ — open mouth wide, tongue low and back, lips slightly rounded, short sound, no glide. GOAT /əʊ/ — starts as schwa, lips round strongly and push forward, longer sound, glides. Listen to the difference between 'hot' /hɒt/ and 'coat' /kəʊt/. Watch the lips — they round much more for GOAT.

Required

Listen carefully. Which word do you hear?

hot
coat

Required

Say the phrase. The LOT vowel should be short and rounded, not a long gliding 'o'.

a lot

Required

Say the full phrase. The 'a' and 'of' should be weak schwa sounds: /ə lɒt əv ˈkɒfi/. Keep the LOT vowel short and rounded.

a lot of coffee

Required

Say the full sentence. Focus on the short LOT vowel in 'got' and 'lot'. Do not let the 'o' glide into a long 'o'.

I've got a lot of homework.

Speaking

7 cards

In this section, you will practise using how much and how many in a real conversation at a café. You will hear a short model conversation, repeat key sentences, and then have your own live conversation with the AI barista.

Here are some useful phrases for the speaking task:

Asking about quantity:

How many would you like?
How much do you want?
How many slices / cups / glasses?

Asking about price:

How much is it?
How much is that?
How much is that in total?
How much do I owe you?

Polite responses:

Yes, please.
No, thanks.
Just a few, please.
A lot, thanks.
That sounds good.

Small talk:

How are you today?
Lovely weather, isn't it?

Useful opening phrases:

Can I have a coffee, please?
I'll have a tea.
I'd like a glass of water.

In the model conversation, Tom is the barista and Emma is the customer. Watch how they use how much for prices and uncountable things, and how many for countable items like cookies. Notice the politeness words: 'please', 'thanks', 'just'.

When you record your own sentences, speak clearly. Don't worry about your accent — focus on:

Using how much for uncountable nouns and prices.
Using how many for countable plurals.
Using a few and a little for small amounts.
Saying 'please' and 'thanks' naturally.

In the final roleplay, you are the customer. The AI will play the barista. The barista will ask you what you want. You should order one hot drink and one snack, ask the price, and answer the 'anything else?' question. Try to use at least two quantifiers in your answers (how much, how many, a few, a little, a lot of).

Listen to the model conversation first. Notice the rhythm and the intonation. British English speakers often rise at the end of yes/no questions and fall at the end of statements. Repeat the model sentences after the speaker. The more you practise, the more natural you will sound.

الدرس ده عن إزاي تسأل عن الكميات والأسعار بالإنجليزي

الموقف في الدرس ده بسيط: إنت داخل كافيه وعايز تطلب حاجة. العميلة إيمي بتطلب من الباريستا توم، والحوار بينهم قصير بس فيه كلمات هتحتاجها كل يوم تقريباً.

الفرق بين How much و How many

دي أهم حاجة في الدرس كله. الاتنين بيستخدموا للسؤال عن الكميات، بس في فرق كبير:

How much بتستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي مش بتتعد (uncountable nouns) زي المية والشاي والفلوس. وكمان بتستخدمها للسؤال عن السعر.
How much is the coffee? (بكام القهوة؟)
How much water do you want? (عايز كام مية؟)
How much is that in total? (المجموع كام؟)
How many بتستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي بتتعد (countable nouns) في الجمع. يعني لما تقدر تعدها بالواحد.
How many cookies do you have? (عندك كام كوكي؟)
How many cups would you like? (عايز كام فنجان؟)

كلمات مفيدة للكمية

A lot of معناها كتير، وبتشتغل مع المعدود وغير المعدود.
A few معناها شوية (عدد قليل)، للمعدود بس زي الكوكيز.
A little معناها شوية (كمية قليلة)، لغير المعدود زي المية.
Just معناها بس، زي لما إيمي قالت Just a few, please (بس شوية لو سمحت).

الأدب في الطلب

في الإنجليزي لازم دايماً تقول please و thanks لما تطلب حاجة، حتى لو مع الباريستا. الجمل الجاهزة دي هتساعدك:

Can I have a coffee, please? (ممكن قهوة لو سمحت؟)
I'll have a tea. (هاخد شاي.)
Yes, please. (أيوه لو سمحت.)
No, thanks. (لأ، شكراً.)

إيه المطلوب منك؟

أول حاجة، اسمع المحادثة بين توم وإيمي ولاحظ الإيقاع. بعدين هتسجل صوتك وأنت بتقول الجمل. وفي الآخر هتعمل roleplay حقيقي مع الذكاء الاصطناعي اللي هيبقى دور الباريستا. حاول تستخدم على الأقل كلمتين من الكلمات اللي اتعلمتها فوق زي how much و how many و a few.

Tom is a barista in a café. Emma is a customer. Listen to how they use how much and how many to order drinks and snacks.

T
Tom Hi! What can I get you?
E
Emma A coffee, please. How much is it?
T
Tom Three pounds. Anything else?
E
Emma Yes. How many cookies do you have?
T
Tom A lot! How many would you like?
E
Emma Just a few, please. Three.

How much is that in total, please?

Required

Order a drink politely. Focus on clear pronunciation of 'cup of tea'. Say 'please' at the end.

Can I have a cup of tea, please?

Required

Ask about the price. 'How much' is for uncountable nouns and prices. Make sure your intonation rises at the end.

How much is it?

Required

You are in a busy British café. The barista will greet you and ask what you want. Order one hot drink and one snack. Ask the price. The barista will ask 'Anything else?' — say yes or no. End the conversation politely. Try to use at least two quantifiers (how much, how many, a few, a little, a lot of).

Required

I CAN use how much and how many correctly
I CAN use quantifiers a lot of, a few and a little
I CAN ask about quantities in a café
I CAN recognise container phrases like a cup of and a slice of
I CAN pronounce the British LOT vowel /ɒ/ in words like a lot, got and not

Vocabulary

6 cards

In this lesson we look at common words and phrases for talking about quantities. Many of them are container phrases — we use a small word (a cup, a glass, a slice, a piece) to measure uncountable things, because we cannot count them directly. This is one of the most useful tricks in English for talking about food, drink and advice.

Here are eight useful words and phrases for this lesson:

Word/phrase	Type	Arabic	Example
a few	quantifier (countable)	عَدَد قَلِيل مِن	I have a few friends in London.
a little	quantifier (uncountable)	كَمِّيَّة قَلِيلَة مِن	There is a little milk in the fridge.
a lot of	quantifier (both)	الكَثير مِن	She reads a lot of books.
plenty of	quantifier (both)	كَثير مِن / وافِر	We have plenty of time.
a cup of	container phrase	كُوب مِن	Would you like a cup of tea?
a glass of	container phrase	كَأْس مِن	He drank a glass of water.
a slice of	container phrase	شَرِيحَة مِن	Can I have a slice of bread?
a piece of	container phrase	قِطْعَة مِن	She gave me a piece of advice.

A few and a little both mean "a small amount" but with different nouns. A few is for countable plurals (friends, books, eggs). A little is for uncountables (milk, time, money). If you mix them up, native speakers will still understand you, but using the right one makes your English sound much more natural.

A lot of and plenty of are larger quantities. They are positive in feeling and work with both types of nouns. Plenty of is slightly stronger and a little more formal than a lot of.

The container phrases (a cup of, a glass of, a slice of, a piece of) let us count things that are usually uncountable. We cannot say "two waters" but we can say "two glasses of water" or "two cups of tea". This makes them very useful when you are in a café, restaurant or shop. Notice the preposition of in all the container phrases. We always say "a cup OF tea", never "a cup tea". This little word is essential.

Some of these words can appear in different positions in the sentence. Container phrases usually follow the verb: She gave me a piece of advice. But you can also start with them for emphasis: A lot of people came to the party. This is also correct.

Pay attention to the fixed pairings — they often collocate with specific nouns. We say a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a slice of pizza, a piece of cake. These are fixed pairings you should learn together, not separately.

الكميات في الإنجليزية: كلمات صغيرة بتفرق كبير

في الدرس ده هنتعلم كلمات وعبارات أساسية بتستخدمها لما عايز تقول عندك قد إيه من حاجة معينة، أو لما تطلب حاجة في كافيه أو مطعم. الكلمات دي بسيطة بس فيها كام نقطة مهمة لازم تاخد بالك منها عشان كلامك يطلع طبيعي.

الفرق بين a few و a little

a few و a little الاتنين معاهم "كمية قليلة"، بس فيه فرق مهم بينهم. a few بنستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي بنقدر نعدها يعني countable nouns، زي:

I have a few friends in London.
We need a few eggs for the recipe.

a little بنستخدمها مع الأسماء اللي مش بنقدر نعدها يعني uncountable nouns، زي:

There is a little milk in the fridge.
I have a little free time today.

لو خلطت بين الاتنين، الناس هتفهمك بس كلامك هيبان غريب. القاعدة الذهبية: few للجمع، little للمفرد غير القابل للعد.

الكميات الكبيرة: a lot of و plenty of

a lot of و plenty of الاتنين معاهم "كتير من" وبييجوا قبل أي نوع من الأسماء:

She reads a lot of books every month.
We have plenty of time before the meeting.

plenty of أقوى شوية في المعنى وأكتر formal من a lot of، وكتير بيستخدموها في المواقف الإيجابية أو لما تدي نصيحة.

عبارات الحاوية: cup و glass و slice و piece

دي حيلة ذكية جداً في اللغة الإنجليزية. حاجات زي milk أو water مش بنقدر نعدها مباشرة، بس لما نحطها في كوباية أو كأس بقت نقدر نعدها. كده تقدر تقول:

Would you like a cup of tea?
He drank a glass of water.
Can I have a slice of bread?
She gave me a piece of advice.

خد بالك: في كل العبارات دي لازم تحط of بعدها. مش هتقول أبداً "a cup tea"، لازم تقولي "a cup of tea". الكلمة دي ضرورية ومش اختيارية.

ثوابت لازم تحفظها مع بعض

في collocations معينة الناس بتقولها مع بعض كده زي ما هي:

a cup of coffee (مش a cup of tea لو قصدك قهوة)
a glass of wine
a slice of pizza
a piece of cake

لما تحفظ الكلمات دي كوحدة واحدة هتلاقي كلامك بيطلع طبيعي زي أهل اللغة.
