Quantities

Some of the words we’ve just learned can only be used with certain nouns: it always depends on whether we can count a noun (e.g. eggs or cookies) or not (e.g. juice or sugar). Here are the basic rules.

Uncountable

We only use these words with nouns we cannot count:

• etwas
• ein bisschen

Both countable & uncountable

We can use these words with all nouns:

• viel
• wenig
• genug

Without nouns

These words replace the noun, so we use them on their own:

• alles
• nichts
