Lesson 1: Countable and Uncountable Nouns.
- What is a Noun?
A noun is a word that identifies a person, animal, place, thing, or idea.
We can classify nouns into countable or uncountable.
Countable nouns can take singular or plural form.
-A carrot (singular) -Four carrots (plural)
-A peach (singular) - Two peaches (plural)
|
Uncountable nouns take always singular form.
Milk Cheese Sugar Cereal Rice Honey Flour Salt

Food Classification:
- Singular to Plural Form
Most singular nouns are made plural by simply putting an -s at the end. However, there are many different rules regarding pluralization depending on what letter a noun ends in. Irregular nouns do not follow plural noun rules, so they must be memorized or looked up in the dictionary.
- QUANTIFIERS
A quantifier is a word or phrase which is used before a noun to indicate the amount or quantity.
PRACTICE 1: Choose the appropriate quantifier: a, an, some, any, much, many, a lot of.
Lesson 2: How many / How much?
We ask HOW MANY and HOW MUCH when we want to know the quantity or amount of something.
- HOW MANY + PLURAL COUNTABLE NOUN
- HOW MUCH + UNCOUNTABLE NOUN
Lesson 3: There is / There are
We use there is and there are to say that something exists (or doesn’t exist).
