10.1 GRAMMAR
10.1.1 Countable and uncountable nouns
10.1.1.1 Countable nouns

Countable nouns are individual objects, people, places, etc. which can be counted. (We use
a/an or a number in front of countable nouns).

Examples:

⮚ an apple
⮚ a school
⮚ 1 picture, 2 pictures, 3 pictures
⮚ 2 men, 4 men, 8 men

A countable noun can be both singular or plural. (Normally, we add -s/-es to make a countable
noun plural.)

Examples:

⮚ apple – apples
⮚ tree – trees
⮚ box – boxes

Use the singular form of the verb with a singular countable noun.
Examples:

⮚ There is a book on the table.

⮚ That student is excellent!

Use the plural form of the verb with a countable noun in the plural.

Examples:

⮚ There are some students in the classroom.

⮚ Those houses are very big, aren’t they?

We can use some and any with countable nouns.

Examples:

⮚ Some people pretend to despise the things they cannot have.

⮚ Please put up your hand if you have any questions.

We only use many and few with plural countable nouns.

Examples:

⮚ Many students now see university as a stepping stone to a good job.

⮚ The country has relatively few cinemas.
We can use a lot of and no with plural countable nouns.
Examples:

⮚ There is no friend as faithful as a good book.

⮚ The store has a lot of regular customers.

10.1.1.2 Uncountable nouns

Retrieved from: https://7esl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Countable-and-Uncountable-Nouns-2.jpg

 Uncountable nouns are materials, concepts, information, etc. which are not individual objects
and can’t be counted.
Examples:
⮚ information
⮚ water
⮚ understanding
⮚ wood
⮚ cheese

Uncountable nouns are always singular. Use the singular form of the verb with uncountable
nouns.
Examples:

⮚ There is some water in that pitcher.

⮚ That is the equipment we use for the project.

Normally we do not use a/an with uncountable nouns; instead we use expressions such as a
glass of water (a water), a piece of music (a music).

Uncountable nouns can appear without any determiner.

Example:

⮚ Can you hear music?

We can use some/any/much/little with uncountable nouns.

Examples:

⮚ I’ll put the kettle on and make us some tea.

⮚ Don’t dally along the way! We haven’t got much time.

We only use much and little with uncountable nouns.

Examples:

⮚ He doesn’t usually drink much coffee.

⮚ There is little information about the weather.

We can use a lot of and no with uncountable nouns.

Examples:

⮚ I have a lot of free time today.

⮚ It’s hard sailing when there is no wind.

Retrieved from: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/73/2c/fc/732cfcd4ad601faaef9266dd90f02d68.jpg

many/much

We use many before plural (countable) nouns and much before uncountable nouns. We use
them in negative sentences and questions.
Examples:

⮚ There isn’t much coffee in the jar.

⮚ Were there many people in the party?

how much/how many

We use how many and how much to ask about quantity.

Examples:

⮚ How many concerts have you ever been to?

⮚ How much coffee have you had today?

a lot of/lots of
Before both countable and uncountable
We use a lot of or lots of (more informal) before both plural (countable) and uncountable
nouns. We normally use them in positive sentences.
Examples:

⮚ She spends a lot of time watching TV.

⮚ We had lots of good moments together.

of before noun; no of at the end of sentence

We must always use a lot of or lots of including of before a noun. However, we can use the
expressions a lot or lots (without of) at the end of a sentence.
Examples:

⮚ ‘How many beers did you have?’ ‘I don’t know; I had lots/a lot.’
⮚ I like her a lot.

(a) few/(a) little/a bit of

few for countable; little for uncountable

We use (a) few before plural (countable) nouns and (a) little or a bit of (more informal) before
uncountable nouns.
Examples:

⮚ I have to do a few things this afternoon.

⮚ He always gets good results with very little effort.
⮚ Can you put a bit of sugar in the tea?

few or a few? little or a little?

A few means ‘some but not many; enough’, and a little means ‘some but not much; enough’.
Few/little mean ‘almost none; not enough’.

Normally, the difference between a few/little (WITH a) and few/little (WITHOUT a) is that a
few/little is positive in meaning, and few/little is negative. Compare:

⮚ There’s little milk in the fridge; we have to buy more. (Not enough; we need more)
⮚ ‘Do you speak English?’ No, I speak very little English.
⮚ ‘Do you speak English?’ Yes, I speak a little English.

some/any

We use some in affirmative sentences and any in negative sentences and questions.
Examples:

⮚ Is there any sugar in the cupboard?

⮚ Have you got any new friends?
⮚ I have some questions to ask you.

10.1.3 Demonstratives: One / ones

To avoid repeating yourself, you can use ONE when you are talking about a singular countable
noun or ONES when you are talking about a plural countable noun. But it has to be clear from
the situation what you are talking about.
Examples:
⮚ I asked for a glass, but they did not have one.
⮚ I broke my glasses so I will have to buy some new ones.
 ⮚ I like those shoes, but let's buy THESE ones.

You have to be specific about which ONES you mean. Check these examples:
Examples:

⮚ I broke my glasses so I will have to buy some NEW ones.

⮚ I like those shoes, but let's buy THESE ones.
⮚ My car is the red one.

We can use one with adjectives, but in that case we need to use a:
Examples:

⮚ I'd like to buy a house. If I can afford it, I'll get a big one.

If you drop the adjective, you need to drop a:

Examples:

⮚ I'd like to buy a house. If I can afford it, I'll get one with a lot of space.
