Quantifiers chart.


We'll be looking at quantifiers this week, so here's a chart I hope will help clarify what can be quite a tricky topic.


QUANTIFIERS:
Followed by a SINGULAR noun        
Followed by a PLURAL noun

Every /each / either / neither

Both /neither of /either of /any /all /none

Followed by a SINGULAR verb
Followed by a PLURAL verb

Everyone / every /no one / each / anything


All / both / neither / either / none

BOTH  singular and plural verbs possible

Neither of / none of / either of


SPECIAL POINTS TO MENTION

"no" is always followed by a noun
"of" + article OR possessive, (Never:  "some of cars")
"all" + article OR possessive (all of us, all about) but never alone:  all went wrong on the trip
"each" – separate things:  study EACH sentence
Smaller numbers:  EACH player has 4 cards
"every":  how often:  there's a bus EVERY 10 minutes
Any/no:  I haven't seen ANY STUDENTS today./I have seen NO STUDENTS today.
