Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: There are ___ students in the classroom today.

Question 1 options
'Many' is correct because it is used with countable plural nouns like 'students'. 'Much' is used only with uncountable nouns. 'A little' is used only with uncountable nouns. 'A bit of' is also used with uncountable nouns.
Q2 15

Question 2: I only have ___ money left, so I can't buy anything expensive.

Question 2 options
'A little' is correct because 'money' is an uncountable noun, and 'a little' means a small amount of something uncountable. 'A few' and 'several' are used only with countable nouns. 'Many' is also used only with countable nouns.
Q3 15

Question 3: The quantifier 'much' can be used before countable nouns.

Question 3 options
False because 'much' is used only with uncountable nouns (e.g., 'much water'). For countable nouns, 'many' must be used instead (e.g., 'many bottles').
Q4 15

Question 4: When do we use the quantifier 'a few' in a sentence?

Question 4 options
'A few' is used to talk about a small number of countable items. It does not work with uncountable nouns, and it does not mean zero or a large number.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • friends
  • a few
  • She
  • has
  • at school

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'She has a few friends at school' because 'a few' comes directly before the countable plural noun 'friends', and the prepositional phrase 'at school' follows the noun phrase.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'Some' is correct because it can be used with uncountable nouns. 'Many milk' is wrong because 'many' is only for countable nouns. 'A few milk' is wrong for the same reason. 'Several milk' is also wrong because 'several' requires a countable noun.
Q7 15

Question 7: Customer: Excuse me, do you have ___ bread? Baker: Yes, we have a few loaves left. Which word best completes the customer's question?

Question 7 options
'Any' is correct because in questions, 'any' is used to ask about the existence of an uncountable noun like 'bread'. 'Many' and 'several' are used with countable nouns. 'Much' is less natural in positive questions at this level, and the baker's response about 'loaves' confirms the customer is asking about availability, not a large amount.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'a few' instead of 'a little'?

Question 8 options
'A few mistakes' is correct because 'mistakes' is a countable plural noun, and 'a few' is used with countable nouns. 'A little' must be used before uncountable nouns like 'water', 'time', and 'sugar'.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • much
  • time
  • today
  • We
  • do not have

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'We do not have much time today' because 'much' directly precedes the uncountable noun 'time', and 'today' as a time adverb comes at the end of the sentence.
Q10 15

Question 10: Every morning, the teacher gives ___ homework to the students.

Question 10 options
'Some' is correct because 'homework' is an uncountable noun and 'some' can be used with uncountable nouns to indicate an unspecified amount. 'Many' and 'a few' are used only with countable nouns. 'Every' cannot precede an uncountable noun directly.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about the quantifier 'each' is true?

Question 11 options
'Each' refers to individual items within a group and is used with singular countable nouns. It cannot be used with uncountable nouns or in the same way as 'many' or 'much'.
Q12 15

Question 12: Original: 'The shop has a lot of chairs.' → Rewrite using 'plenty of': 'The shop has ___ chairs.'

Question 12 options
'Plenty of' is correct because it is a quantifier used with countable plural nouns (like 'chairs') or uncountable nouns, and it replaces 'a lot of' in meaning. The other options do not correctly substitute 'a lot of' with countable plural nouns.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
Each student received a certificate.
There are a few chairs in the room.
She has a little energy left after work.
Do you have any news about the job?
Quantifier for individual countable nouns
Quantifier used in questions with uncountable nouns
Quantifier for small amount of uncountable noun
Quantifier for small number of countable nouns

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Quantifiers are chosen based on whether the noun is countable or uncountable, and whether the amount is specific or general. 'Each/every' is for individual countable items, 'a few' for small countable amounts, 'a little' for small uncountable amounts, and 'some/any' for general amounts with both noun types.
Q14 15

Question 14: The quantifiers 'some' and 'any' can both be used with countable and uncountable nouns.

Question 14 options
True because 'some' and 'any' are flexible quantifiers that work with both countable nouns (e.g., 'some apples', 'any books') and uncountable nouns (e.g., 'some water', 'any information'). This makes them exceptions to the rule that most quantifiers are restricted to one noun type.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best expresses that the speaker has almost no free time, emphasising how little there is?

Question 15 options
'Little time' (without 'a') is correct for emphasising scarcity — it has a negative or near-zero meaning. 'A little time' suggests a small but positive amount. 'Few time' is grammatically wrong as 'time' is uncountable. 'Several time' is also incorrect.
