- We don't have _______ bread.
Question 1:
We don't have _______ bread. A. many
B. much
Feedback We use the quantifiers ‘much’, ‘many’, ‘(a) few’ 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 ‘much’ that means ‘a large amount or to a large degree’ with singular uncountable nouns (I don’t earn much money.; I like him very much.). We use ‘many’ that means ‘a large number of’ with plural nouns (I don’t have many dresses.).We usually use ‘much’ and ‘many’ with questions (?) and negatives (−). We use ‘a few’ that means ‘some’with plural countable nouns: a few days, a few questions, a few friends.‘Some’ is a determiner and a pronoun (without a noun following, when this noun is understood). We use ‘some’ as a determiner before both countable and uncountable nouns to refer to indefinite quantities:some snow, some people. ‘Some’ is used in positive sentences (I drink some coffee every morning.) But we can use ‘some’ in questions when we are offering something (Would you like some mango ice-cream?) or when we are making a request (Can I buy some ice-cream?).The test sentence ‘We don't have _______ bread.’ is negative, therefore, we cannot choose ‘some’(ANSWER 3) here. The determiner that we need to choose for this test sentence is used before the uncountable noun ‘bread’, that is why we cannot choose the determiners ‘many’ and ‘a few’ because they are used only with countable nouns. Consequently, we are to choose the determiner ‘much’ - ANSWER 2.
C. some
D. a few
