'a' = one ('an' when the next word has a vowel) - doesn't limit to one --- Do you have a teabag I could borrow? 'any'='a'/'a bit' with the expectation there may be none --- Do you have any matches? --- Do you have any milk?

  • 'a' = one ('an' when the next word has a vowel) - doesn't limit to one --- Do you have a teabag I could borrow?
  • 'any'='a'/'a bit' with the expectation there may be none --- Do you have any matches?
  • --- Do you have any milk?
  • 'much'='many' but much is for things you count individually (eg cows) and much is for things you don't count (grass) --- I saw many cows eating much grass 'some'=a few (usually more than one)/a bit --- I have some matches --- I have some milk If you look on the web you'll find a fuller treatment.
