Quantifiers Practice
C. Replace “some” with “a few” or “a little”.
Replace the highlighted some with either “a few” (for countable nouns) or “a little” (for uncountable nouns).
Example: I’d like some apples → I’d like apples
We use “a few” because “apples” are countable (you can count individual apples)
