there are some books on the table“, or “No, there aren’t any books on
the table“. If the number is important, we use “How many“ and there is a
specific answer – “one“, “two“, “three“ etc., or “none“.

Do Revision Exercise 1
Revision exercises
In your book, you sometimes see ‘Do Revision Exercise …’. These exercises are at the
end of each stage, and you can do them at home. This is a good idea because these
exercises give you extra practice with the English you are learning at school. With the
Callan Method, you learn quickly, but if you want to learn more quickly, you should
study with your book, listen to the audio files, and do the revision exercises.
Write long answers to all the questions, like the answers that you say in the lessons.
Then correct the exercise by looking at the printed answers in your book. Remember,
the exercises are not for class; you do them outside the lesson for extra practice.
