Introduction

Welcome to this week's English class. As you can see, this class will be taught a bit differently. Due to your teacher's absence, there will be no class just this once. Instead, you will have to go through this site to learn the grammar item of the week, and make a test at the end. If you pass the test, you have completed this special course.

The topic for today is:

The 'small numbers' problem

In previous classes, it has become clear some of you still struggle a bit with the differences in use between words like 'a little', 'a few', and 'a lot'. This online course should make everything clear to you in no time. Here's what you should be able to know at the end of this course:

• Which nouns are countable and non-countable;
• How to use positive and negative context;
• When to use which adjective of quantity;

I would suggest watching my explanation video first. If you click 'Video explanation' on the sidebar, you can watch a short video in which I explain everything you need to know about this topic. If you feel like you already know all about these adjectives, you're free to move ahead to the first exercise, also found on the right.

頑張って ！(Or in plain old English, good luck!)
