Speaking

Students read the dialogue in pairs, ask them to find seven countable nouns and three uncountable nouns.

Answers:

Count nouns: pears, plums, vegetables, potatoes, carrots, sister, crisps;

Uncount nouns: butter, cheese, juice.

Students work in pairs to complete the table. They use the conversation. This exercise is not easy. Be prepared to give lots of help. Focus students attention on the table and ask them to find examples in the conversation.

The table summarizes all the rules about expressions of quantity.

The aim of this activity is for students to discover for themselves from context the sometimes confusing rules of expressions of quantity involved with count and uncount nouns.

You should explain that we can’t use much with countable nouns and many with uncountable nouns in positive sentences. But we can use them only in negatives and questions.

Students ask and answer questions about what there is in the picture using the expressions of quantity from the table.
