The ingredients
to make
a lemon cake:
The General
summary
of ingredients:
countable
and
uncountable
objects:
Let's look at
the General
Summary:
'Some' and 'Any'
Structure:
Countable objects + plural verbs
Positive cases:
1.
There are some
lemons in the basket.
2.
There are some
CDs on the table.
3.
There are some
eggs on the egg rack.
Negative cases:
there aren't any...
We use
any
for the
negative:
1.
'there aren't any
cigarettes
in the packets.
2.
'there aren't any
biscuits
on the table.
3.
'there isn't any
magazine
on the rack.
Alright!
Now questions:
Here again,
we use 'any'
in the negative
and
'any'
in the questions.
1.
So, 'are there
'any' glasses
on the table'?
2.
'are there 'any'
books on the table?'
3.
'are there 'any'
pens on the desk?'
{Alright! So
'some' in the positive,
'any' in the negative,
and the question form.}
good!
Now let's
move on to
uncountable
objects,
these are here,
the examples are:
' there is' singular verb.
'There is some sugar
on the table'
'There is some flour
on the table'
'there is some water
on the table'
Ok! Negative,
again we use 'any'
We say
'there isn't any bread
on the table'
'there isn't any 'wine'
(a liquid on the table)
'there isn't any chocolate
on the table'
Alright!
questions,
again with the
singular verb
and 'any'
'is there any money
on the table'
'is there any pasta?'
Unfortunately not... and
'is there any beer?'
Ok.
Now I want to add
one more thing
to this lesson.
And it's the words
'this' 'that'
'these' 'those'
Let me explain:
With one object
you say 'this CD'
But when it's distant
from you far away,
You say 'that CD',
'this', that' alright?
We hear 'this' very often.
Let me take two, plural.
Now we say 'these CDs'
When they're far from you
we say 'those CDs' Okey!
So 'these', 'those'
One 'this', 'that'
Let's see again:
So, this book...
plural:
these books...
When they're
close to you
and
that chair for example
'those chairs',
(When they're distant from you.)
There's a lot to remember,
that's a big lesson.
So we have learned
'Some' and 'Any',
'Countable' and 'Uncountable'.
This, That, These, Those.
So you have to
lot to do at home
to study there.
Anyway,
no problem
because you're
a great student.
So we'll meet
next again very soon,
for some more English,
take care!
Bye for now!
