Countable and Uncountable Nouns
Nouns that can be counted are Countable Nouns (banana,
apple) and can be therefore be pluralized (bananas, apples).
Uncountable nouns are amounts of something, which we cannot
count (money, ice).
Examples of countable nouns: shirts, cats, dogs, toes, fingers,
ideas, lies, books
Examples of uncountable nouns: rice, gunpowder, air, wine, dirt,
flour, ink, music, sand, water, wine, pepper, juice

11. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - N O U N S
What can we do to find out whether a noun is countable?
* If a noun is countable, we can use the indefinite articles a/an before it:
I read a book.
I eat an orange.
*If a noun is countable, we can use ‘many’, ‘more’, or ‘most’ to describe it:
She has many friends.
*If a noun is countable, we can express quantity before the noun:
I have three aunts.
*If a noun is countable, it takes on singular or plural forms.
an orange / some oranges / five oranges

12. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - N O U N S
What can we do to find out whether a noun is uncountable?
*A noun is uncountable if you cannot use a/an in front of it.
He is drinking some wine. (You cannot say: He is drinking a wine.)
Wine is an uncountable noun, ‘some’ (which can be used for both countable and
uncountable nouns) is used with it.
*A noun is uncountable if the word ‘much’ can be correctly used before it.
How much flour do we need? (You cannot say: How many flour do we need?)
*A noun is uncountable if you cannot count it. However, we can make it countable by
having a quantity for it.
I have just bought two cartons or liters of milk. (You cannot say: I have just bought two
milk.)
*A noun is uncountable if it takes only a singular form.
some dirt (You cannot say: some dirts) / some ice (You cannot say: some ices) / some soup
(You cannot say: some soups)

Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are words that end in -self or -selves such as
myself, yourself, and themselves. They are used to show that
the subject of the sentence that performs an action is the same
as the object that receives the action; that is, the subject acts on
itself as expressed by the verb in the sentence. The subject of
the sentence has to be a personal pronoun for a reflexive
pronoun to refer back to the subject. The reflexive pronoun acts
as the direct object. It can also be an indirect object.

14. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - P R O N O U N S
There are eight reflexive pronouns. None of these are used as the subject
of a sentence. Each personal pronoun has a corresponding reflexive
pronoun which is formed by adding –self to the singular and –selves to the
plural pronouns, as shown in the following table.
Example: Sometimes I think to myself that it is time to lose some weight.
PERSONAL PRONOUNS REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
SINGULAR PLURAL SINGULAR PLURAL
FIRST PERSON I We myself ourselves
SECOND
PERSON
You You yourself yourselves
THIRD PERSON He They himself themselves
She They herself themselves
It They itself themselves

15. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - P R O N O U N S
The subject and the object are the same person. The antecedent subject pronoun comes
first, and the reflexive pronoun refers to it. If we don’t use the reflexive pronoun, the
meaning changes, as shown by this example.
Examples: She baked herself a birthday cake.
She baked her a birthday cake.
(The second sentence says she baked a birthday cake for someone else.)
Besides those in the tables above, there is another reflexive pronoun: oneself.
Examples:
One has to improve oneself all the time.
One shouldn’t expect others to behave in the same way as oneself.

16. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - V E R B S
Position of verbs
If a sentence begins with a phrase (underlined), the subject typically follows
the verb.
Examples:
1. Across the mountain and through the narrow valley was a dried-up
stream.
(The subject stream comes after the verb was.)
2. Waving to passing trains is his hobby.
(The subject hobby comes after the verb is.)

17. PA R T S O F S P E E C H - V E R B S
Sometimes a sentence can be reversed without affecting its meaning if the subject and its
object are the same.
Examples:
1. That monkey was the one that snatched her bag.
The one that snatched her bag was that monkey.
2. My uncle is the village’s only professional wrestler.
The village’s only professional wrestler is my uncle.
In most questions, the verb comes before the subject.
Examples:
1. Is she ready to go? (The subject she comes after the auxiliary verb is.)
2. Do you want to come along? (The subject you comes after the helping verb do.)

Adverb of manner
An adverb of manner tells us how something is done or
happens. Most adverbs of manner end in –ly such as badly,
happily, sadly, slowly, quickly, and others that include well, hard
and fast.
Examples:
• The brothers were badly injured in the fight.
• They had to act fast to save the others floating on the water.
• At the advanced age of 88, she still sang very well.

A balanced Diet
Most doctors say you should consume three meals a day. This is part of a balanced diet. The
three meals are breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
They say that breakfast is the most important of the day. Fruits, eggs, and bread are typical
breakfast food. Most people drink coffee or hot tea for breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of
the day.
Lunch is a super important meal. When you eat the right kind of food at lunch will help you stay
full and alert. Sandwiches are often eaten at lunch. Sometimes people eat egg and avocado
sandwiches, salad with chicken, chopped Quinoa salad with cranberries. Lunch is the second
meal of the day.
They say that diner allows family and friends to come together. Dinner is in the evening.
People eat many different things for dinner. Here is a list of traditional meals people eat for
dinner: rice and beans, pasta, chicken, and salad. Dinner is the last meal of the day.
All over the world people eat meals differently. Regardless, food is an important fuel for the
body. Practical Exercise 6: Read the story and answer the questions in the worksheet for Presentation 5.
