nouns form: countable and uncountable nouns

1.Countable nouns

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

• dog, cat, animal, man, person
• bottle, box, litre
• coin, note, dollar
• cup, plate, fork
• table, chair, suitcase, bag

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:

• My cat is playing.
• My cats are hungry.

We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:

• A cat is an animal.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:

• I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
• Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)

When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:

• I like oranges.
• Bottles can break.

We can use some and any with countable nouns:

• I've got some dollars.
• Have you got any pens?

We can use a few and many with countable nouns:

• I've got a few dollars.
• I haven't got many pens.

teslunited tips : "People" is countable. "People" is the plural of "person". We can count people:

• There is one person here.
• There are three people here.

2.Uncountable nouns

Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:

• music, art, love, happiness
• advice, information, news
• furniture, luggage
• rice, sugar, butter, water
• electricity, gas, power
• money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:

• This news is very important.
• Your luggage looks heavy.

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a something of:

• a piece of news
• a bottle of water
• a grain of rice

We can use some and any with uncountable nouns:

• I've got some money.
• Have you got any rice?

We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:

• I've got a little money.
• I haven't got much rice.

When you learn a new word, it's a good idea to learn whether it's countable or uncountable.

Adverb..

We have seen that an adjective is a word that gives more information about a noun or pronoun.  How about adverb?

Lets check out these together! :D

An adverb is usually defined as a word that gives more information about a verb, an adjective or another adverb.  

Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives and adverbs in terms of such qualities as time, frequency and manner.  

In the sentence Sue runs fast, fast describes how or the manner in which Sue runs. 

In the sentence Sue runs very fast, very describes the adverb fast and gives information about how fast Sue runs.

Most, but not all adverbs end in -ly as in  But not all words that end in -ly are adverbs (ugly is an adjective, supply and reply can both be nouns or verbs). 

Many times an adjective can be made into an adverb by adding -ly as in nicely, quickly, completely, sincerely.

Adverbs of time tell when something happens and adverbs of frequency tell how often something happens.  Below are some common  adverbs of time and frequency which you should learn:
 

Do it now.	I always do my homework
I will see you then.	We sometimes get confused.
They will be here soon.	He usually gets good grades.
I can't meet you today.	I never went skiing.
Let's go tomorrow.	She rarely eats a big breakfast.
They told me yesterday.	He was once on TV.
Have you traveled recently?	He saw the movie twice.

Review this lesson as many time as you want and kindly do some practice for this chapter.

That's all from me :)

Verbs

Everyone can understand Modal Verbs!

What are model verbs?

Model verbs are also called auxiliary verbs, helping verbs and model auxiliaries.

Model verbs are not complete verbs, and they can only be used with a verb. Modal auxiliary verbs may sound difficult but in fact they're easy. Modals are: can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, will, would and need 

   (need can be a full verb, too).

The usage of model verbs:

Model verbs stay in the base form - bare infinitive - the bare infinitive is the infinitive without "to" before the verb.

The following model verbs are used to with the present tense:

can, will, shall, ought to, must, need, may

The following model verbs are used in the past tense:

would, should, could, might

Model verbs are used to answer questions in the short form

yes, I do.

yes, we can.

No, I don't.

Model verbs can be used as part of the grammar structure of the sentence, such as when used with the perfect tenses.

When are model verbs used:

~ Prediction - Will and Shall

• Will and shall can be used to state predict that an event or an action will take place or will occur The model verbs can used to make a prediction about an event or action about the future.
• I think we will be able to go and see the move tonight.
• My mother thinks we will not get home be it starts to rain.

~ Requests - Offers - Suggestions - Can - Could - May - Shall

To make requests, offers or suggestions can be stated with the model verbs.

~ Permission - Can - Could - May - Might

Can, could, may and might are model verbs that can be used to give permission or deny permission to do something or to someone.

Can I help you cook dinner?

You may not watch T. V. after dinner.

~Certainty - Possibility - Can - Might - may- Could - Shall -Can, might

- and could are model verbs that can be used to state certainty and possibility.

Do you think it might rain tomorrow night?

I might be home before midnight.

You can come over tonight if you would like to.

~Ability - Inability - Can - Could - Able to

My father hopes that we will be able to go to the moves.

I can not go to Europe with you.
