    Great, nice and succinct! I stressed one thing for a student... if you use words from the center column, besides THE or NO, you must make countable nouns plural with S. (It is uncertain when you say it in the video.) Thanks -- this is very helpful :)

  • @christoff1499
    @christoff1499 4 года назад +1

    Except you can't always use 'some' or 'any' in any context. You would say "There is some information." or "There isn't any information."
    You **wouldn't** say "There is any information." or "There isn't some information".

    • @Mia-hc3ob
      @Mia-hc3ob 4 года назад

      Yes the same as you wouldn't say ''I don't have any table.''. ''I don't have any table-s.'' would be correct or ''I don't have a table.'' 4:19
      Most of the time we use grammar according to what sounds right, we learn what sounds right through talking with people who speak the English language well. Grammar can be naturally picked up without realising it but for someone who is learning a language for the first time, learning something incorrect can be hard to correct later as it becomes a habit to say it like that.
      My advice: make sure you use several resources when trying to learn something correctly and whichever is used the most will most likely be correct.
      Stay safe, happy learning everyone. :)

    There is an error in the quiz on the web page given above. The question is "Would you like _____ pizza?" and the correct answer is given as "a few." Clearly, either "some" or even "a little" would be correct, but certainly not "a few." Otherwise, nicely done.

    Ok teacher. It is good teaching. But there are many nouns that have both countable and uncountable. What about the rule to know them. As an example, "coffee " we have known this word as uncountable but it has countable noun. So we say i had a coffee, two coffees or three coffee.
    And we says i like coffee as uncountable

    I still can't understand why idea is countable noun and advice is not. english like many other languages is a mess. word idea is the most abstract thing in the world while advice can be given to a person once or multiply times.

    If you would like to give me one advice how to use uncountable nouns, what would it be?
    "Don't try to count how many advice you got because it would be a mistake."
    Based on uncountability both of those sentences are wrong, right? But what for?

  • @dikmak3459
    @dikmak3459 2 года назад

    Hello. My native language is Russian and which is why I can hardly believe that "advice" is uncountable. What if I have 1, 2 or 3 advice(s) for my... friend? What do I have to say in that case? "I have 2 tips for you"? Or "I have two pieces of advice for you"? O_o PS: Thank you very much for your lessons, Rebecca!

    • @edwardmurray4136

    what if countable and uncountable nouns comes together as subjective on a sentence, what's the form of the verb would be like?
    for example,
    A book and furniture (is / are) he's favourite things.
    or
    Ham and cheese (is / are) good for making a sandwich.

    • @Mia-hc3ob
      @Mia-hc3ob 4 года назад

      So an example would be; ''I had a burger and some juice for lunch.'' (Burgers being a countable and juice being uncountable.)
      It is possible but you have to use them in the right context.
      Hope this helps, stay safe, happy learning!
