Quantifiers Error Correction
B1-B2 Level
This quantifiers error correction exercise targets the mistakes learners
make most often when proofreading full sentences: using countable quantifiers
with uncountable nouns, choosing some where a negative sentence
needs any, and mixing up meaning pairs such as few /
a few, little / a little, and less / fewer.
Wrong: "We found many information about the course." Correct: "We found a lot of information about the course."
Wrong: "There aren't chairs enough for everyone." Correct: "There aren't enough chairs for everyone."
Because this page asks you to click and repair only the wrong chunk, it trains a different skill from normal gap-fill practice. You must decide whether the noun is countable or uncountable, whether the sentence is positive, negative, a question, an offer, or a request, and whether a small amount is useful or a problem. Some sentences are already correct, so the route also trains you not to over-correct valid quantifier choices.

Quick Rule
Check noun type, sentence polarity, and meaning: many/few/fewer + plural countable; much/little/less + uncountable; some in positives/offers/requests; any in negatives and neutral questions; enough + noun but adjective + enough
