"Work" es un sustantivo incontable en inglés, por eso no se puede decir “many work”. "A lot of" funciona tanto con contables (plural) como con incontables (singular). 21 Explicación: “Some” se usa para una parte de un grupo, no todos. Aquí significa que algunas personas (pero no todas) gustan del chocolate. 22 Most of” se usa cuando se habla de una parte grande de un grupo específico. Aquí el grupo específico es “my friends”. 23 Explicación: “A few” significa pocos. Solo pocos amigos fueron a la fiesta. 24 Explicación: “All of” se usa con grupos definidos (the students) y significa todos. 25 Explicación: “All of” se usa con sustantivos o pronombres definidos (the answers) para decir todas las respuestas. 26 Explicación: “Most” se usa cuando hablamos de una mayoría general de un grupo sin especificar. Aquí es una afirmación general sobre los niños. 27 Explicación: “Most of” se usa con un grupo específico (my family members), indicando que la mayoría de ellos son profesores. 28 Explicación: “Some of” indica que leí una parte del libro, pero no todo. Habla de parte de un grupo específico. 29 Explicación: “Most of” + sustantivo definido (the students) → la mayoría de ellos. 30 Explicación: “Most of” se usa para decir que la mayor parte de un grupo específico (my homework) está terminada. 31 ¿Qué significa "a few"? "A few" significa "algunos" o "unos pocos". Se usa con sustantivos contables en plural. Ejemplo: friends, books, cars, etc. ¿Por qué "of"? "Of" se usa cuando hablamos de una parte de un grupo específico. En esta oración, “my friends” es un grupo específico (mis amigos), por eso necesitamos “of”.
