COUNTABLE — UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable nouns are those that can be counted (one apple, two apples, etc.). Uncountable nouns are those that cannot be counted (water, bread, etc.). Uncountable nouns take a singular verb and are not used with a/an.

SOME / ANY / NO & THEIR COMPOUNDS
Some, any and no are used with uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns:

use |
example |
Some and its compounds (somebody, someone, something, somewhere, etc.) are normally used in affirmative sentences. |

Some and its compounds are also used in interrogative sentences when we expect a positive answer, for example when we make an offer or request. |
Would you like something to drink? |
Any and its compounds (anyone, anything, etc.) are usually used in interrogative sentences. |
Has anyone seen Jim today? |
Not any is used in negative sentences. |
There isn’t any petrol in the tank. |
Any and its compounds can also be used with negative words such as without, never, rarely. |
I have never met anyone like him before. |
When any and its compounds are used in affirmative sentences there is a difference in meaning. |
You can do anything you like. (it doesn’t matter what) Anyone could have done that, (it doesn’t matter who) |
No and its compounds can be used instead of not any in negative sentences. |
Laura didn't say anything. (= She said nothing) There wasn’t anybody in the house. (= There was nobody in the house.) |

Much and many are usually used in negative or interrogative sentences. Much is used with uncountable nouns and many is used with plural countable nouns. |

How much and how many are used in questions and negations. How much + uncountable noun —✵ amount How many + countable noun number |
How much pepper shall I put in the soup? How many children do they have? |
Too much is used with uncountable nouns. It has a negative meaning and shows that there is more of something than is wanted or needed. |
He couldn't sleep because the children were making too much noise. |
Too many is used with plural countable nouns. It has the same negative meaning as too much. |
It was very crowded. There were too many people there. |
We use many/much/some/any/most/(a) few/(a) little/several/one/two, etc. + of followed by the/that/this/ these/those and then a noun when talking about a specific group. |

QUESTION TAGS
Question tags often follow sentences in speech and informal writing. We use them when we want to check if something is true.
use |
example |
This is a regular statement but if we are not sure, we can check by adding a question tag. |
We are playing tennis this afternoon, aren’t we? |
The meaning of a question tag is: ’Is it true?' ’Do you agree?'
form |
example |
We make the question tag in the same way we make an ordinary question. It consists of an auxiliary + a pronoun. But when the main sentence is positive, the question tag is negative. |
She is very nice, isn’t she? |
When the main sentence is negative, the question tag is positive. |
You don't know the answer, do you? |
use |
example |
If there is only the verb be in the main sentence, we repeat it in the question tag. But: I’m very late, aren’t I? The question tag for I’m is aren’t I? |
It is a nice day, isn’t it? Mrs Green wasn't at home, was she? |
use |
example |
If there is a modal auxiliary verb (can, could, must, should, will, would, etc.) in the main sentence, we repeat it in the question tag. If there is an auxiliary verb (be, have, do) in the main sentence, we repeat it in the question tag. If there is no auxiliary verb in the main sentence, we use do in the question tag. |
You can't understand me, can you? They should be here, shouldn’t they? Peter could help us, couldn’t he? You won't tell anyone, will you? She is doing well, isn’t she? It was raining, wasn’t it? You haven't seen Jack, have you? Your mum doesn't speak German, does she? She didn't lose the tickets, did she? You play the piano, don’t you? Tim gave you this book, didn’t he? |
