25. Countable and uncountable nouns

Countable and uncountable nouns Nouns can be either  countable  or  uncountable . Countable nouns (or count nouns) are those that  refer  to something that can be counted. They have both singular and plural forms (e.g.  cat/cats ;  woman/women ;  country/countries ). In the singular, they can be  preceded  by  a  or  an . Most nouns come into this  category . A smaller number of nouns do not typically refer to things that can be counted and so they do not regularly have a plural form: these are known as uncountable nouns (or mass nouns). Examples include:  rain, flour, earth, wine , or  wood . Uncountable nouns can't be preceded by  a or  an . Many  abstract nouns  are typically uncountable, e.g.  happiness, truth, darkness, humour .

23. Prepositions of place

Where is it? Goal: Students will get to know the different prepositions of place. Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also in front of gerund verbs). Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as a 1:1 translation is usually not possible. One preposition in your native language might have several translations depending on the situation. There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition. The only way to learn prepositions is looking them up in a  dictionary , reading a lot in English ( literature ) and learning useful phrases off by heart ( study tips ). A  preposition of place  is a preposition  which is used to refer to a  place  where something or someone is located. in room, building, street, town, country book, paper etc. car, taxi picture, world in the kitchen, in London in the book in the car, in a taxi in the picture, in the world at...

22. The commas

Commas Reproducción Vídeo Reproducción Vídeo Commas help your reader figure out which words go together in a sentence and which parts of your sentences are most important. Using commas incorrectly may confuse the reader, signal ignorance of writing rules, or indicate carelessness. Although using commas correctly may seem mysterious, it can be easy if you follow a few guidelines. Beware of popular myths of comma usage: MYTH:  Long sentences need a comma. A really long sentence may be perfectly correct without commas. The length of a sentence does not determine whether you need a comma. MYTH:  You should add a comma wherever you pause. Where you pause or breathe in a sentence does not reliably indicate where a comma belongs. Different readers pause or breathe in different places. MYTH:  Commas are so mysterious that it’s impossible to figure out where they belong! Some rules are flexible, but most of the time, commas belong i...
