CHAPTER 2: COUNT AND NON-COUNT NOUNS


COUNT AND NON-COUNT NOUNS (Student´s book p.12)
  • Count nouns are the ones you can count. Count nouns have a singular and a plural form.
          Examples:          I have an orange.
                                    She has five oranges.


  • Non-count nouns are the ones you can´t count. Non-count nouns have only one (singular) form.
           Examples:          Where is the flour?
                                      The flour is on the counter.




Workbook p.p. 12-13




USE OF ANY (page 13 student´s book)

The word ANY is used in negative statements and questions only, with non-count nouns and plural count nouns.
 Examples:
                 Is there any meat in the refrigerator?
                 No, there isn´t any meat in the refrigerator

                 Are there any potatoes in the cabinet?
                 No, there aren´t any potatoes in the cabinet.

                 - Let´s make some pizza for dinner!
                 - Sorry, we can´t. There isn´t any cheese.

Count and non-count nouns take different determiners.

       Examples:        - How much sugar do you want with your coffee?
                              - Just a little (sugar)

                              - How much milk do you want (with your coffee)?

                              - Not too much, just a little.
  • The determiners many and a few are used with count nouns.
       Examples:        - How many meatballs do you want?
                              - Just a few (meatballs).

                               - How many cookies do you want?
