gave some bananas

Question

Can I say,We saw many monkeys there. Some of my friends gave some bananas.

Yankee · Accepted Answer

Vincent TeoWe saw many/a lot of monkeys there. Some/A few of my friends gave them/the monkeys some bananas.

- In an affirmative sentence, it would be more common to use "a lot of" rather than "many".

- In order to avoid using the word "some" twice in your second sentence, you could replace "some" with "a few", for example.

- You must include an indirect object in your second sentence. You can also say it this way:
A few of my friends gave some bananas to the monkeys.
