How much time do you spend on the computer?
¿Cuanto tiempo pasas en la computadora?
How much - How many (Contables e incontables)

En ingles cuando queremos preguntar acerca de la cantidad de un sustantivo incontable, usamos la estructura:
“How much + sustantivo + is there?
How much milk is there ?
¿ cuanta leche hay ?

En las respuestas se puede usar un partitivo no especifico como;
a lot ( un montón ), a little ( un poco ), none ( nada ), some ( algo ).

Ejemplo: How much milk is there ? = There is a little.
¿ Cuanta leche hay ? hay un poco

Podemos usar partitivos especificos de unidad o medida o peso para especificar las cantidades;

Ejemplo: How much milk is there? = There is a litre, there is a bottle, etc..
¿Cuanta leche hay? Hay un litro, una botella, etc..

Si queremos preguntar acerca de la cantidad de un sustantivo contable, usamos la estructura:

How many + sustantivo + are there ?

Ejemplo: How many oranges are there ?
¿ Cuantas naranjas hay ? En las respuestas se usa:
a lot (un monton), a few (unas pocas), too many, (demasiadas), o none ( ninguna), some ( algunas),

Si queremos especificar cantidades entonces usamos partitivos contables del tipo; un kilo, un litro, un paquete, una bolsa, one, two, etc.

How much y how many se usan para preguntas en general acerca de cosas, cuando queremos que se nos indique las cantidades que hay, entonces how much y how many van acompañados de is there (hay un / una) o are there.(hay unos / unas)

Ejemplos: How much water is there? = There is 1 litre.
How many students are there? = There are eleven students in class.

Tambien existe otra forma de preguntar cuando no estamos seguros de si hay algo o no, y es usando, Is there + any + sustantivo (para incontables) o Are there + any + sustantivos (para contables)

Ejemplo: Is there any bread ? - ¿Hay algo de pan?
Yes, there is - Si hay

Are there any apples? - ¿Hay alguna manzana?
Yes there are - Si hay

Si quieres especificar la cantidad o cantidades, pues usas there is o there are + partitivo(s)

Ejemplo: There is a loaf of bread. Hay una barra de pan.

There are two loaves of bread. Hay dos barras de pan.

There is an apple. Hay una manzana.

There are three apples. Hay tres manzanas.

Apuntes especiales: En ingles los líquidos, materias y substancias son incontables, en este apartado debemos de incluir a los siguientes sustantivos que son incontables en ingles:

Money = dinero - Fruit = fruta - Bread = pan - Time = tiempo - Chocolate = chocolate Meat = carne.

Countable Uncountable Nouns (1)

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count.
For example: "pen". We can count pens.
We can have one, two, three or more pens.
Here are some more countable nouns:

dog, cat, animal, man, person
bottle, box, litre
coin, note, dollar
cup, plate, fork
table, chair, suitcase, bag

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:

My dog is playing.
My dogs are hungry.

We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:

A dog is an animal.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:
I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)

When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:

I like oranges.
Bottles can break.

We can use some and any with countable nouns:

I've got some dollars.
Have you got any pens?

We can use a few and many with countable nouns:

I've got a few dollars.
I haven't got many pens.

"People" is countable. "People" is the plural of "person".

We can count people:

There is one person here.
There are three people here.

Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself.

Here are some more uncountable nouns:
music, art, love, happiness
advice, information, news
furniture, luggage
rice, sugar, butter, water
electricity, gas, power
money, currency


We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:
This news is very important.
Your luggage looks heavy.


We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a something of:
a piece of news
a bottle of water
a grain of rice

We can use some and any with uncountable nouns:

I've got some money.
Have you got any rice?

We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:
I've got a little money.
I haven't got much rice.

Uncountable nouns are also called "mass nouns".

OBJECT PRONOUNS :

SINGULAR: —> Me (first person) You (2nd) Her / him / it (third person)

PLURAL —> Us (1st) You (2nd) Them (3rd)

Definition: It is a pronoun that is used as an object in the sentence.
