5. Structures to describe pictures: Quantifiers
A. Look at the picture, and read the paragraph:
Last week, there was a lot of
rice on this hill. Now, there isn’t
any rice. There’s some smoke,
and a lot of ash on the ground.
Before, a lot of trees grew here.
Now, there aren’t many trees,
and there isn’t much fruit. These
people are going to stay in
another village. They have some
relatives there. They don’t have
any food now, and they don’t
have much money. Luckily,
they have a lot of relatives.

B. Some of these nouns are in positive sentences, and some are in negative sentences.
Put the quantifiers (underlined words) and noun into the table.
