    Quantifying Food

    Some food can’t be counted. We call these words uncountable. The


    ones we can count are called countable.

    COUNTABLE NOUNS UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

    We add -s to make its plural form. Uncountable nouns haven’t got a plural
    form. They’ve only got a singular form.
    When a countable noun is singular, we
    have to use a/an, one, the before it. We can use them alone or add the
    word some or any (interrogative and
    negative sentences only).
    Example: If we want to quantify them, we add the
    name of a container or mass/portion.

    Example:

    a lemon - two lemons

    some broccoli

    a carrot - three carrots

    some cauliflower

    a loaf of bread

    UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

    a plate of pasta

    a bowl of rice

    Present simple

    Present simple
    Read these sentences to learn to use and form the Present Simple.

    I have lunch at two o’clock.


    She eats a morning snack at school.
    I don’t have dinner at home on Sundays.
    He doesn’t eat fruit for dinner.
    Do you eat an afternoon snack? No, I don’t.
    Does she eat cake for breakfast? Yes, she does.

    These sentences use the Present Simple. This tense is used for:
    • Habitual actions: My mum has breakfast at eight o’clock every day.
    • Feelings and emotions: I like fruit and vegetables.
    • Permanent states: Cows eat grass.
    • With verbs of senses: She smells the fruit.
    To form the Present Simple, we follow these rules:

    Affirmative Negative Interrogative

    Subject (I/you/we/they) Subject (I/you/we/they) Do + subject (I/you/we/they)


    + verb + ... + don’t + verb + ... + verb + ...

    Example: Example: Example:


    They eat vegetables every We don’t like broccoli. Do you like chicken?
    day.

    Subject (he/she/it) + verb Subject (he/she/it) Does + subject (he/she/it)


    ending in –s. + doesn’t + verb + ... + verb + ...

    Example: Example: Example:


    She likes fruit and He doesn’t eat a morning Does she eat an afternoon
    chocolate. snack on Saturdays. snack on Mondays?

    5 PRIMARIA

    Present simple

    Do you remember in lesson 2, we talked about countable and


    uncountable nouns?

    We’re now going to learn a few words to quantify uncountable food names.
    In general, with uncountable nouns, we can always use some or any in negative
    sentences, but these words have meaning, they don’t say a quantity. We need to use
    another word to express amount.
    Here are some examples of words we use to express quantity:

    a bag a box

    a cup a carton

    a jar a dozen

    a bottle a glass

    a bar a slice

    a can
