Adverbs of quantity – much, a lot, a bit, a little

You have already studied these as quantifiers in unit 29. However, they can also be adverbs of quantity when used with an adjective.

For example:

“It’s a pretty good movie but it’s a bit too long”

“My German is much more fluent than my Spanish”

“A bit” and “a little” mean the same thing and so do “much” and “a lot”
