    Study Notes

    Countable and Uncountable Nouns

    • Countable nouns can be singular or plural.
    • Uncountable nouns have only singular form and cannot be counted.
    • Countable plural nouns are formed by adding "-s" or"-es" to the noun.
    • Some uncountable nouns can be "quantified" using container quantifiers.

    Container Quantifiers for Food

    • We use container quantifiers to express the quantity of uncountable nouns.

    • Countable nouns can be singular or plural.
    • Uncountable nouns have singular form only.

    Some and Any

    • Some is used in positive sentences and questions that expect a positive answer.
    • Any is used in negative sentences and questions.

    • Gerunds and to-infinitives are used after verbs and prepositions.

    Future Forms

    • There are four ways to talk about the future:
      • Will: for predictions/statements of fact
      • Is/am/are going to: for predictions and intentions
