Quantifier, atau kata sifat yang menunjukkan kuantitas, juga memiliki bentuk komparatif (tingkat lebih) dan superlatif (tingkat paling).
| 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.
