🧮 Grammar B1-34: Quantifiers and determiners

The B1 extension of the quantifier family, built around one small word doing all the pointing. Tasha surveys her class of twenty-eight for the school magazine, and every result forces the same decision: most students in general, or most of the students in 9R? The hinge rule — the of appears with the pointer — is taught as a formula, shown in a dot diagram covering all / most / some / none and the pair words, and drilled until it is reflex. A nine-row table walks the whole family through its general form, its of-form and its verb, with three note-boxes for the shape-shifters (no becomes none of, every never takes of), the strict pronouns (all of us, both of them, never both of they) and the singular verb after either, neither, each and every. A four-question decision procedure and two worked runs carry sentences through counting, pointing, pair-direction and agreement. Two compare-and-verdict pairs anchor the contrasts: most students against most of the students in 9R, and each (one at a time) against every (the whole set as a rule). A 118-word magazine write-up of the club vote makes eleven quantifier choices tappable, each with its reason. Practice runs to thirty-two multiple-choice items in four sets, all explained, plus twelve phrases to sort by the hinge, six real learner errors to repair, and four traps: of with no pointer, both of they, the double negative after neither, and every of. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the box-and-cloud board move with the pointing gesture, the which-students rescue for a stuck learner, and Cambridge B1 Preliminary relevance.
