Metamask for noobs

hello do I need eth gas on my metamask to use my eth somewhere and how do I get gas. Ive had eth for awhile but Ive only been holding it. Ive taken the defi 101 course and am trying to use oasis and uniswap, but it says i dont have funds but theres a 1 eth in my meta mask.

You pay for the gas with Ether, Metamask does the conversion of how much Ether would be. Today the gas in Ethereum is very high, you can use https://ethgasstation.info/index.php to see the price of the gas.

Hello sir, to get AMPL token or any other ERC20 token, you only need to send it to your ETH address (account).

So lets say for example i want to sent you some DAI, you will need to give me only the same address that you use for ETH.

Now to buy AMPL tokens with metamask you can go to https://uniswap.exchange/swap

I advice you to DYOR first before taking any financial action. Iā€™m not giving you any financial advice.
Here you can read more about Ampleforth: https://www.ampleforth.org/redbook/

Hope you find this useful.
