Clarification on Usage: “Amount of” vs. “Number of” Hello everyone, I’d like to address a point from one of my recent videos where I used “amount of” with a countable noun. Some of you may have noticed this and wondered if it’s correct. Let’s take a moment to clarify. The Rule vs. Real-Life Usage The traditional grammar rule is to use “number of” with countable nouns (like people, books, or cars) and “amount of” with uncountable nouns (like water, sugar, or money). For example, you should say, “the number of people” rather than “the amount of people.” However, this rule has an interesting history. As pointed out by usage experts, the distinction between “amount” and “number” was first solidified by usage guides, such as one from 1906. These guides set a standard that has been repeated in style guides ever since, becoming a so-called “rule.” But if we look at language historically and in everyday use, there is no inherent grammatical, syntactical, or morphological reason why “amount of people” would be wrong. It’s a prescriptive rule that was created and reinforced through repetition in grammar books and style guides. As a speaker of Hiberno-English, I often hear and use phrases that might differ slightly from what is considered “standard” English. Here in Ireland, “amount of people” is a common expression, reflecting the natural way many of us speak. This shows how regional variations can influence language use, even if they don’t always align with traditional grammar rules. My Approach as a Teacher I usually steer clear of debates over moot points, as they often distract from the key lessons that help students succeed. The truth is, many of these debates arise because people want to demonstrate how intelligent or well-read they are, rather than to genuinely help others learn. Spending excessive time arguing over minor language points, like whether “amount of” can be used with countable nouns, is not productive for those trying to master the essentials of English. As an IELTS teacher, my goal is to focus on what will actually improve your scores and help you communicate effectively. Knowing when to follow traditional rules is important, but it’s also important to recognize when a rule is more about convention than necessity. Advice for IELTS Candidates While “amount of people” is commonly used in everyday conversation here and elsewhere, and there’s no technical reason why it would be incorrect, adhering to “number of people” in formal contexts like Task 2 essays is advisable. Even if the rule might not have a strong linguistic basis, it’s a feature of standard written English that editors and examiners expect. So, to stay on the safe side, always use “number of” for countable nouns in your writing. In casual contexts, feel free to use whichever feels natural to you, but when it comes to formal writing, it’s best to play by the rules that are most likely to influence your score. I hope this helps clarify the usage, and thank you for engaging with my content. Keep practicing, focus on what truly matters, and best of luck with your studies!
Well, that would mean even Indian English with all of its peculiarities would be acceptable. I don't understand. Just because there's some corruption in everyday spoken English, I wouldn't go and make a video about it and tell students this is how it should be and that too in the comments which people rarely read. Would you accept "pass out" for "graduating" if an Indian student writes it, even if "pass out" means something else in other parts of the world. I guess you should make students understand that they are writing for a native audience who might take it a different way.
I took my whole preparation based on your advice. Never even watched a single video from other channels or took any personal help. My band score was 8.5 with 3 weeks prep. Thanks to you,man & God bless you.
not only thanks to him. it is obvious that you already had a very good skills base. it is impossible for someone without a good english background to get an 8 in 3 weeks just by watching videos.
What an amazing mentor you are! I followed all of your techniques and suggestions, and today, I got my results! R8, L7.5, W7, S6.5, with an overall score of 7.5 in just 10 days! Thank you so much, Chris, for your incredible help! Even paid coaching doesn’t offer what you provide for free. Everyone follow him!!
I gave the ielts exam last month and I got a band 8. Thank youu sooo much!! This channel helped me a lot to improve my writing skills. I got a band 9 in the listening section all thanks to the tips I learned from here.
I came here to say thanks to you. I just got my ielts result. overall: 7.5, L:9, R:8, W:6.5, S: 7. This RUclips channel is a god sent to me. You’re a great teacher. Thanks for helping students who can’t afford expensive courses.
Just got my result, I got a overall 7, 8.5 in listening, 7.5 in reading, 6.0 in writing and speaking. I got my target score. Thanks for helping me for past 4 weeks chris. Thanks to your videos I got more than I needed to study abroad.
I only discovered this channel when I only had 1 week before the test, and my result was band 7.5. This channel really helped me a lot to score, and I'm sure I could excel better if only I had known this channel earlier. Thank you so much Chris and Ielts Advantage!!
yesterday i took my IELTS exam, i got overall 6 band. I just did preparation for 1 week by watching your videos. Thank you Chris for helping students. This is my 1st attempt.
I even don't know how to use grammar, but I can make simple sentences. My native language is Punjabi and national language is Urdu. I am living in a village, so I never use English language before this. But I can understand and read English properly.
I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Chris. I started preparing for the writing section just 2 days before the exam, and I watched most of his videos on writing. I scored a 7.5 in writing and 8.5 overall. Thank you, Chris✨
I just took the test a week ago. I got a band 7. Thank you so much Chris. Your content helped me a lot, and I am glad that I have found such a great teacher.
Hii Chris, I’m commenting just to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I got my results on 29th October 2024, and got an overall band of 8.5, I’ve used your channel and challenges for my prep. I prepped for just about 5-6 days, this channel was instrumental in drilling through the sentence structures and fundamentals!

Thank you, i received my results today with a total band score of 8. I binged a lot of your videos and took your advice to start with writing task 2 ( I took academic). I also did a lot of practice mock questions using the IELTS online tests website and watched their free webinars and that really helped me get comfortable with the computer base test. I owe my thanks to you guys and I promised myself that I would give feedback when I get it
I am preparing for the IELTS exam. I have only started for 1 month and we are writing articles like this. I understand the writing methods by watching your videos. Your channel is very useful. I am watching from Azerbaijan. I hope I will not disappoint you when I am ready for the exam :)❤

I just followed your channel and Cambridge book and even though after having a difficult writing task 2 question I managed to get the required score of 7 overall.

And on the oral one, the topics played against me. They asked me about agriculture and I wasn't prepared for that😅
My details paragraph man chris-I can't thank you enough. I got band 7 overall the minimum for my course. This paragraph headings technique of writing your own headings first really helped simplify life for me.Thank you Chris and team for the free packages- they come in handy
@@Ieltsadvantage my exam IELTS exams is on December please I really need help in reading, writing and speaking please sir. I am aiming at band 8-9 . I have seen so many good results here and I wish and pray to come back and testify like others are doing now
Hello Chris, i'd like to thank you for all your videos, it has been a while since i started following you. You are showing off significant tips which are demonstrated in expensive courses, and maybe they are useless. Thanks a lot, and i'll keep following you to gain the best knowledge.
HI CHRIS I HAVE A BAND 8.5 I JUST GOT MY RESULTS BACK I WANTED TO THANK YOU!!!! none of my sections have a band 9 just 8.5s (and a 7.5 thanks a lot writing task 1) but you're the only place I studied from and I really wanted to thank you.
Hi Chris!! I just got my ielts result recently. I got a band of 8.0 overall ( L 8 R 8.5 S 7.5 W 7). I just really want to thank you, especially for the reading task. Your tips really made this module a piece of cake. Best wishes to you and again, thanks for being such a good teacher.
Hi Chris, I am really grateful to you for providing all these material for free. I got my results today and got a band 8 by following your advice in 2 weeks. Note to fellow students: Don’t fully trust AI evaluation especially for speaking and writing section while you are practicing, I always got an estimated band in between 6 and 7 using chatGPT or other platforms that used AI to evaluate. However, they were very helpful for practicing. My real scores: Listening: 9 ; Reading : 8; Speaking: 7.5; Writing: 7.5.
I just took the Ielts test and got band 7.5 I was struggling before and got a 5.5 but after watching your video and make everything simple i was able to improve my score significantly, thank you very much
I got an 8 overall, with 8 in L, R, and 7.5 in W, S. I had only one week in hand, and I am not that great with English either. All thanks to your wonderful videos!!!
@@thepakilad3967 Yeah, I did well in listening and reading but I think I could have done better in speaking and writing. Overall, I can say I did well.

Clarification on Usage: “Amount of” vs. “Number of”
Hello everyone,
I’d like to address a point from one of my recent videos where I used “amount of” with a countable noun. Some of you may have noticed this and wondered if it’s correct. Let’s take a moment to clarify.

The traditional grammar rule is to use “number of” with countable nouns (like people, books, or cars) and “amount of” with uncountable nouns (like water, sugar, or money). For example, you should say, “the number of people” rather than “the amount of people.”

It’s a prescriptive rule that was created and reinforced through repetition in grammar books and style guides.
As a speaker of Hiberno-English, I often hear and use phrases that might differ slightly from what is considered “standard” English. Here in Ireland, “amount of people” is a common expression, reflecting the natural way many of us speak. This shows how regional variations can influence language use, even if they don’t always align with traditional grammar rules.
My Approach as a Teacher
I usually steer clear of debates over moot points, as they often distract from the key lessons that help students succeed. The truth is, many of these debates arise because people want to demonstrate how intelligent or well-read they are, rather than to genuinely help others learn. Spending excessive time arguing over minor language points, like whether “amount of” can be used with countable nouns, is not productive for those trying to master the essentials of English.

I think it is as simple as “SORRY” I made a mistake. People are not perfect. And that’s okay.

I just got my ielts result recently. I got a band of 8.0 overall ( L 8 R 8.5 S 7.5 W 7). I just really want to thank you, especially for the reading task. Your tips really made this module a piece of cake. Best wishes to you and again, thanks for being such a good teacher.
Congratulations! We're glad to hear that the tips helped.
Hi Chris, I am really grateful to you for providing all these material for free. I got my results today and got a band 8 by following your advice in 2 weeks.
Note to fellow students: Don’t fully trust AI evaluation especially for speaking and writing section while you are practicing, I always got an estimated band in between 6 and 7 using chatGPT or other platforms that used AI to evaluate. However, they were very helpful for practicing.
My real scores: Listening: 9 ; Reading : 8; Speaking: 7.5; Writing: 7.5.
Woah! Congratulations!
Congratulations....I will replicate this result as shown.. Amen
thank you. with just 4 days of watching prep i managed to get a band of 8, all thanks to you
Congratulations!
Thank you sir. I prepped for one week with your videos, and achieved an overall band 8!
Great job!
I just took the Ielts test and got band 7.5 I was struggling before and got a 5.5 but after watching your video and make everything simple i was able to improve my score significantly, thank you very much

I got an 8 overall, with 8 in L, R, and 7.5 in W, S. I had only one week in hand, and I am not that great with English either. All thanks to your wonderful videos!!!

Just after that I found this youtube channel and began watching his videos and trust me guys I prepared only for 5 days just with Chris’s videos and I got a band of 7.5. Thank you so much Chris.

Thank you chris, I've got an 8 overall because of your videos. Listening 9, reading 8.5, writing 6.5 and speaking 7.5. I mistakenly wrote 300 words for the part 1 of the writing section 😅, i think that's where i lost a few marks.
