Quantifier (much/many/a lot of)
- I have a lot of apples.
- I don’t have many apples.
- I don’t have much time.
- few – They have a few potatoes.
- little – We’ve got a little rice.
Comparative
more
- I have more apples than you.
- I don’t have more apples than you.
- I don’t have more time than you.
- fewer - We’ve got fewer potatoes.
- less – They’ve got less rice.
Superlative
most
- He has the most apples.
- I don’t have the most apples.
- I don’t have the most time.
- fewest -You’ve got the least potatoes.
- least – I’ve got the least rice.

Perlu diingat bahwa:

  • many dan few digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang dapat dihitung (countable noun).
  • much dan less digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable noun).
  • a lot of / lots of bisa digunakan baik bersama dengan countable maupun uncountable noun.

Kita juga bisa menggunakan struktur “as…as” untuk menunjukkan keseteraan. Contoh:

  • We have as many candies as you.
  • There are as few people in this town as that one.
  • She’s got as much water as we do.
  • I’ve got as little time as you do.
