1 Complete the sentences with the words in the box.

Привет! Давай разберемся с этими упражнениями по английскому языку. Это отличная тренировка употребления слов, обозначающих количество (quantifiers). ### Exercise 1: Complete the sentences with the words in the box. 1. We bought **a few** expensive clothes last weekend. 2. We haven't got **any** vegetables. Nothing at all. 3. Ed's got **a lot of** extra pens, so he can give me one. 4. There's **a bit of** noise in our classroom. 5. We didn't eat **much** pasta last weekend. (Примечание: в списке слов нет "much", но по смыслу подходит оно. Если строго по списку, то "some" или "any", но тут контекст отрицания, поэтому "any"). 6. I don't often have **any** cash in my wallet. 7.

"a few" подходит для исчисляемых, но здесь, вероятно, имелось в виду "a little bit of"). 6. Ivy has got **some** free time on Sundays. ### Exercise 3: Rearrange the endings of the sentences. 1.
