Topic: FOOD
Objective:
- Language function: To talk about food and drinks.
- Structure: THERE IS, THERE ARE; THERE INS'T, THERE AREN'T; SOME, ANY with COUNT and UNCOUNT NOUNS.
- Vocabulary: Food and Drinks
We studied during the class the use of THERE'S and THERE ARE; SOME and ANY for COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS.
Well the use of THERE'S and THERE ARE; SOME and ANY depends on the nouns used.
There are two types of nouns. In a very simple way, countable nouns are the nouns that can be pluralize such as ORANGE. Its plural form is ORANGES. so count nouns can be singular and plural.
In the case of uncountable nouns, they do not have a plural form because they can not be counted. So, we have examples like MILK, RICE or JAM.
We use There is a/an and There are some for affirmative sentences with countable nouns. There isn't a/an and There aren't any for negative sentences with countable nouns. Is there a/ an...? and Are there any...? for questions with countable nouns.
On the other hand, we use THERE'S SOME in affirmative sentences with uncountable nouns. THERE ISN'T is used in negative sentences with uncountable nouns. IS THERE ANY...? in questions with uncountable nouns.
