>many

Reading this over, I just realized how I almost never use these words, and just say "a lot".
Is this an example about how formal, grammatically correct language, and colloquial language differ, or are the sentences simply worded awkwardly?
>>66700274
the first one. i remember the god damn english tests in high school. i stared at that shit for ages in frustration. Apparently the way we commonly speak and type is completely wrong.
dale postea cirno llorando
>>66700274
>>66700377
This confuses me too. But I realized one day, we say a lot of things grammatically incorrect, especially in the subjunctive.
One example, it is important he come on time.
Most of the time, people say comes instead.
>>66699239
No. 2 could be more or a lot of.
Shit test.

I'm actually really bad at learning other languages, and I sometimes wonder if I would be able to speak English well if I was born in another country. I think I play too much vidya, watch too many movies and am too immersed in internet culture for me not to be. I just don't have that kind of reward with learning anything else.
>>66701074
I get what you mean, kind of.
I'm of Mexican heritage and my white mother and spic grandmother hated each other. So when I was young, I was taught English but Spanish privately. I'm only semi-fluent in Spanish though. I learned French fairly easily (what started off as a stupid way to talk to a friend at the bars ended up useful, go figure).
I was told Russian was supposed to be a REAL bitch to learn but I've found that I've gotten pretty good at learning other languages. It's not as hard as I was expecting but I'd be lying if I said there were no challenges.
no hablo ingles
>>66701916
ur mum got BEAN'D.
>>66702000
That is correct. Enjoy your pure white race being tainted, gringo.
>>66699239
First section if the plural noun ends in s it's "many" if it doesn't it's a mass noun (such as snow) then it's "much".
Would give pointers the others but I'm not here to teach English. That being said for the second section remember English is SVO.
>>66699239
>word order.
No wonder they are easy to brainwash.
>>66702159
thank you america that truly helped
how fluent are you tho, would you be able to do those exercises without copying from >>66700168
>>66699239
C2 Level English , got my Proficiency degree this May with a 90% pass.
Think that it is practically passing with Honours.
So , I guess I've got English and Greek "mastered".
Feels comfy.
I use English more than I use Greek nowadays though.
>>66699239
This seems kind of excessive. Like, I appreciate the effort foreigners put into fluency, but native English speakers are so used to foreigners speaking broken English that it doesn't even seem that weird to us when you do. I realise this is required for a course but it's still kind of funny.
>>66699370
What? We went through this stuff when I was like 15.
>spanish "education"
>>66702449
>doesn't do the test to prove it
kys "fluent" man
>>66699239

>>66702302
Sure I guess I'll do it.
1. How much snow?
2. How many tables?
3. How many cats?
(what happened to 4 and 5?)
6. How many cigars?
7. How much sugar?
8. How many buses?
-----------------------------------------------
1B. No, we didn't. We didn't have much time.
2A. Have you seen many films this year?
3A. How much milk did you buy?
4B. Not really. We didn't see many animals.
5A. How many children do you have?
(note this is different because children is the plural form of child but is itself not a mass noun but a plural form of child)
-----------------------------------------------
1. a lot of
2. a lot of
3. much
4. much
5. more | (this one is a little weird to me)
6. more
7. much
-----------------------------------------------
You'll learn English anon. I suggest learning grammar in Spanish and then learning how English does it. My first foreign language was French and it fucked me up for a bit because your brain is so used to thinking in your native language. Learning French helped me learn about grammar though and honestly improved my English skills.
>>66702719
WOAH

>>66702833
>Too lazy to do the rest
That's a fun way to say you weren't able to finish the test. Struggling with this is ok anon, it's really hard and we can't all be so awesome at english like the people that got everything right.
>>66699239
>I haven't got ___ homework
Shit is there only one right answer for this?
>>66700168
>>66702719
0,1,2,3 could call be "a lot of"
>>66703266
*all
>>66703266
Well I assumed 0 was already done for anon because of the second section. As for 3 being a lot of I agree, it might even be better.
>>66702963
>honestly i still don't know all the rules, i just say what sounds correct
No shit, it's your native language

Good job mate!
I'd grade myself a high C1 but I won't say I know a language well until I get to C2. Which will take a while since I'm a victim of our educational system and I'm afraid to speak.
>>66703776
> The English say 'goats' instead of 'geat'
It's like you don't even try.
>>66704407
Thanks senpai.
We have language schools here which you attend in the evening/noon after school.
Helped me quite a lot.
Why the fuck do the British refuse to use the auxiliary do? It sounds fucking robotic and clunky saying just "have you"
>>66705035
Probably for the same reason we use "do". You grow up hearing a manner of speaking and so it sound correct to you.
how much 607 points in a TOEFL ITP are
Fluent, like a mother tongue.
>>66705546
about three fiddy
>>66705035
Wait, there's no difference between use of the auxiliary "do" in British and American English.
>>66705660
There isn't but it's American to say
>do you have a lot (much) money
Rather than the British
>have you much money
>>66705813
Brits don't say that though, not in my experience. It's always "do you have a lot of money?" or "have you got a lot of money?"
The only real differences between American and British English are in vocabulary: "ain't", "truck", "candy" etc.
>>66705891
Every ESL that didn't learn the British variant abuses saying "have you" rather than "do you have"
>>66705954
I don't know, I don't notice any differences. But yeah, there are differences between the meanings in those two ways of speaking.
>tfw to inteligent to learn english
>>66706657
>to intelligent
>>66706824
Doesn't German have the same thing with the same word for "to" and "too", zu?
