Hi, friends!

Have you been wondering how to use Adverbs of Quantity? Well, look no further! We have the answers for you below.


What are Adverbs of Quantity?

Adverbs of quantity indicate the quantity of an action. They are usually placed after the verb and before the adjectives and other adverbs.

Adverbs of quantity are different from adverbs of degree because these adverbs express the amount of the action while adverbs of degree express the intensity of the action. 


Here are some adverbs of quantity examples:

  • She did not put enough salt in her stew.
  • You used too much.
  • His friends are so nice.
  • The cup is almost full.
  • I can speak much more English than German.

Well done, Patricia!

A few notes that will help you strengthen your English skills:

- “Choosing” has two O’s.

- English sentences always end with a punctuation. In the case of your four sentences, a period would finish off each statement quite nicely. :)

I look forward to reading your responses to our other activities!
