Unit 4 - Grammar

1.
Quantifiers (Kwantyfikatory)
Kwantyfikatory to wyrazy, które pomagają określić ilość rzeczowników. Mogą odnosić się
zarówno do rzeczowników policzalnych (countable nouns), jak i niepoliczalnych
(uncountable nouns). Używamy ich, aby wskazać, ile czegoś jest, bez podawania
dokładnej liczby.
a) Kwantyfikatory z rzeczownikami policzalnymi w liczbie pojedynczej (Singular
Countable Nouns)
Przykłady: a, one
 I have a dog.
 There is one person in the room.
b) Kwantyfikatory z rzeczownikami niepoliczalnymi (Uncountable Nouns)
Niektóre kwantyfikatory stosujemy tylko z rzeczownikami niepoliczalnymi, jak np. much, a
little, little, less.
 I have little time to finish this project.
 They don’t have much information on the subject.
 Could I have a little water, please?
c) Kwantyfikatory z rzeczownikami policzalnymi w liczbie mnogiej (Plural
Countable Nouns)
Przy rzeczownikach policzalnych w liczbie mnogiej używamy np. many, a few, few,
several, both, most.
 Many students attended the lecture.
 I have a few friends who live in the city.
 Both of my sisters are musicians.
d) Kwantyfikatory uniwersalne – mogą być używane z każdym rodzajem
rzeczowników
Niektóre kwantyfikatory, takie jak some, any, all, enough, most, mogą być stosowane z
rzeczownikami policzalnymi i niepoliczalnymi.
 I have some money left. (niepoliczalny)
 Do you have any questions? (policzalny)
 Most of the people left early. (policzalny)
 I don’t have enough sugar. (niepoliczalny)
2. Kwantyfikatory z różnym znaczeniem – Little / A Little, Few / A Few

Te kwantyfikatory różnią się znaczeniem, mimo że oba dotyczą małej ilości.
Little / A Little (dla rzeczowników niepoliczalnych)
 a little – trochę, wystarczająca ilość
 little – niewiele, za mało
 There is a little milk left in the fridge. (Jest trochę mleka – wystarczy.)
 There is little hope for a solution. (Jest niewiele nadziei – za mało.)
Few / A Few (dla rzeczowników policzalnych)
 a few – kilka, wystarczająca ilość
 few – niewiele, za mało
 I have a few friends in this city. (Mam kilku przyjaciół – wystarczająco.)
 Few people came to the meeting. (Niewiele osób przyszło na spotkanie – za
mało.)
3. Both, All, Every

Kwantyfikatory te stosujemy, gdy mówimy o licznych przedmiotach lub osobach.
Both (oboje, oba, obie)
Używamy z rzeczownikami policzalnymi w liczbie mnogiej, aby odnieść się do dwóch osób
lub rzeczy.
 Both of my parents are teachers.
 She invited both friends to the party.
All (wszyscy, wszystkie)
Można używać z rzeczownikami policzalnymi i niepoliczalnymi, gdy odnosimy się do
całości grupy lub zbioru.

Every (każdy)
Stosowany z rzeczownikami policzalnymi w liczbie pojedynczej, gdy odnosimy się do
każdego elementu w grupie indywidualnie.

 She talks to every customer politely.
4. Some, Any
Kwantyfikatory some i any są używane do określania bliżej nieokreślonej liczby lub ilości.
 Some – stosujemy zazwyczaj w zdaniach twierdzących oraz w pytaniach
oferujących lub proszących o coś.
o I have some books on that topic.
o Would you like some tea?
 Any – stosujemy w pytaniach i przeczeniach.
