Module 7: Food

Countable and Uncountable nouns

Nouns can be countable or uncountable. Countable nouns can be counted, e.g. an apple, two apples, three apples, etc. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, e.g. air, rice, water, etc. 

Countable nouns

For positive sentences we can use a/an for singular nouns or some for plurals.

There's a man at the door.

I have some friends in New York.

For negatives we can use a/an for singular nouns or any for plurals.

I don't have a dog.

There aren't any seats.

Uncountable nouns

Here are some examples of uncountable nouns:

bread	rice	coffee	information
money	advice	luggage	furniture

We use some with uncountable nouns in positive sentences and any with negatives.

There's some milk in the fridge.

There isn't any coffee.

Questions

In questions we use a/an, or any with countable nouns.

Is there an email address to write to?

Are there any chairs?

And we use any with uncountable nouns.

Is there any sugar?

But when we are offering something or asking for something, we normally use some.

Do you want some chocolate?

Can we have some more chairs, please?

We also use some in a question when we think the answer will be 'yes'.

Have you got some new glasses?

Now, let's go to page 82 of the student's book.
