3 Draw their attention to the second rule of countable nouns and look at the examples: ‘an egg’ is singular form. ‘six eggs’ is a plural form. So, countable nouns can be singular and plural.
4 Let them observe the examples: cheeses, butters, orange juices. Ask: Are they true or false? –false. Can uncountable nouns have a plural form? – No. Fill in the blank with ‘plural’.
5 Have them look at the third rule of countable nouns and the examples: Can countable nouns take ‘a’ ,‘an’ or a number? –Yes.
6 Remind students that we use ‘an’ before a countable noun that begins with a vowel sound (20 vowel sounds). Example: an egg, an onion, an apple, an orange, etc.
When a word begins with a consonant sound (24 sounds), we use ‘a’ before it. Example: a banana, a pear.

4. Quantifiers: some, any, many, much, a few, a little, a lot of
30
some / any
1. Used when the exact number isn’t known
some
any
2. with plurals and uncountable nouns.
3. in positive sentences, offers and requests
e.g. Some students are taking an exam today.
Would you like some coffee?
Can you lend me some money, please?
1. Used when the exact number isn’t known
2. with plurals and uncountable nouns.
3. in negative sentences and in questions
e.g. We haven’t got any books with us.
Do we have any coffee?
Review
Ask the difference between the two quantifiers first and then explain.
31
a lot of / lots of
2. Use a lot of and lots of in informal styles. Lots of is more informal than a lot of.
3. Both used with plural countable nouns and with uncountable nouns
4. Both used in affirmatives, negatives, and questions
e.g. There are a lot of (=lots of) apples in the basket.
I don’t need a lot of (=lots of) milk. Just half a cup.
Are there a lot of (=lots of) good players at your tennis club?
1. means ‘a large number/amount of sb. or sth.’
5. We usually use a lot of and lots of rather than much and many in informal affirmative clauses.
e.g. There are a lot of historic buildings in Rome.
I went shopping and spent a lot of money.
Not: There are many historic buildings in Rome.
Not: I went shopping and spent much money.
Look at examples and review the usage of a lot of and lots of.
32

1. Much means a large amount of.
much
many
2. Use much with uncountable nouns.
e.g. I haven’t got much money.

e.g. Is there much water?
I don't have much money with me.
3. Usually use many with questions and negatives.
e.g. How many eggs are in this cake?
There aren’t many apples in the fridge.
4. Use How much in questions to ask about the amount of sth.
4. Use How many in questions to ask about the number of sth.
In informal styles, we prefer to use lots of or a lot of in affirmative clauses:
e.g. I went shopping and spent a lot of money.
Not: I went shopping and spent much money.
33
a few / few
1. means some
a few
few
1. means not many/almost none; has a negative meaning
2. Use a few with plural countable nouns.

Few friends visited me. = Not many friends visited me.

Marcia: OK.
Josh: Oliver gets on at the bus stop in New Street, by the bridge - not the one near the cinema, the other one.
