Countable and Uncountable

1. We use 'a lot of' in positive and negative or question sentence and we can use countable or

ii. "I have a lot of car in my garage."
2. We use 'many' and 'a lot of' in positive sentences
Example : "I have many friends."
"I have a lot of friends."
NB: "Many is more formal than a lot of"
3. We use many with plural countable nouns in negative and question sentence.
Example : "Do you have many chairs in your office?"

SOME & ANY

When do we use some or any or a lot of

1. We use 'some' if we make an offer when we think the answer is "Yes".
Example : "Would you like some milk?" The answer is : "Yes, I would."
2. We use 'any' if we make an offer when we don't know the answer.
Example : "Do you want any sugar?" The answer is : "No, Thank you."
