Exercise 7
Purpose: to help students complete sentences with much or many
· Revise the questions in the Key Expressions. Write the first two questions on the board. Point to the questions and ask " What's the difference?" Elicit or provide much and many.

Write countable nouns and uncountable nouns on the board in two columns. Direct students to the Key Words on page 29. Ask " Which are countable nouns and which are uncountable nouns?" Elicit some answers from students, pointing out that drinks are always uncountable. (You count the container, not the actual drink. ) Explain that meats are almost always uncountable. Have individual students come to the board and write the food and drinks in the correct columns: countable: apple, banana, carrot, grape , orange, pear, potato, tomato, watermelon ; uncountable: beef, chicken, ham, juice, milk, water.
