1. A: How **many** bananas do you want from the supermarket? B: Oh, just a **few**. *Explanation:* "Bananas" is a countable noun, so we use "many". "Few" is used with countable nouns. 2. A: Mark eats too **much** sweets. B: I know. It's very bad for his teeth. *Explanation:* "Sweets" although plural, in this context is referring to the concept of eating a lot of sweets which is an uncountable concept. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns. 3. A: We've got a **few** lemons. B: Great! Let's make **some** lemonade. *Explanation:* "Lemons" is countable, so we use "few". For lemonade, "some" is generally used to express an indefinite quantity. 4. A: How **much** milk do you want in your tea?
