- I don't receive ________ letters from him.
Question 1:
I don't receive ________ letters from him. A. no
B. many
Feedback We use the quantifiers ‘many’, ‘any’, ‘much’ and ‘a little’ to talk about quantities, amounts and degree. We can use them with a noun (as a determiner) or without a noun (as a pronoun).We use ‘many’ that means ‘a large number of’ with plural nouns (I don’t have many dresses.).We use the quantifier ‘any’ in questions and negatives to mean ‘some’ with countable and uncountable nouns: Did you buy any butter?; We haven’t got any eggs.We use ‘much’ that means ‘a large amount or to a large degree’ and ‘a little’ that means ‘not much,but some’ (‘small amount’) with singular uncountable nouns: I don’t earn much money.; I like him very much.; a little bread, a little money, a little marmalade, a little time.In the test sentence ‘I don't receive ________ letters from him.’ we need to choose a quantifier for the plural noun ‘letters’. Taking into consideration that the test sentence is negative (don’t receive…), we can choose ‘many’ and ‘any’.
C. much
D. a little
