Hello, and today, I'm going to talk about quantifiers! Now, when we talk about quantifiers, we refer to those little words that we use, such as some, and any, little, a few, much and many. In this episode, I'm just going to talk about some and any.

Now, I think it's more useful if we think of some and any when we talk about plurals as just the plural of a or an. So if I have a pen in my hand, there is one pen. If I have more than one, I have some pens or any pens - depending on whether we are talking about questions, negatives or affirmative sentences.

In this episode of podcasts for intermediate level students learning English, I'll talk about one of the most common verbs in the English language - the verb to get. As a learner, you may find you prefer to use other verbs instead of get - it's easier to do so! But if you wanr to sound more like a native speaker, the verb to get should probably substitute most of those more formal verbs you're using: achieve, obtain, etc. This is the first of three podcasts on the most common meanings of this verb.
