Notes for teachers

Start by sorting nouns on the board into countable (apples, friends) and uncountable (milk, money, time). Then show that much and many usually appear in negatives and questions, while a lot of is common in positive sentences. Typical mistakes are 'a lot people' (missing of), 'much apples' and 'a little minutes'. For a follow-up, learners can interview a partner with How much / How many questions about food, free time and friends, then report back using the quantifiers.
