| 03:29 | As I said , we're going to cover countable and | |
| 03:32 | uncountable noun a lot in this lesson . So , | |
| 03:37 | uh , let's get started with the first part . | |
| 03:40 | I'll show you today's lesson boards now so you can | |
| 03:44 | take a picture . Uh , it looks like facebook | |
| 03:46 | is Okay , Good . Tran Hello , Alicia Gonzalez | |
| 03:48 | High . We have similar names . Steve . Hello | |
| 03:51 | ? What's the difference between past perfect and future tense | |
| 03:54 | . Check our youtube and facebook videos . The english | |
| 03:56 | class one oh one videos . That is a different | |
| 03:59 | topic from today's lesson . But I have made many | |
| 04:01 | videos about those topics . Okay , I'll show you | |
| 04:05 | today's lesson boards then . Here , what is our | |
| 04:10 | flow for today ? First we're going to talk about | |
| 04:13 | Countable and uncountable noun . The basic super , super | |
| 04:16 | basics . I'm not going to talk about details today | |
| 04:19 | , I have a couple videos about this . Then | |
| 04:23 | we're going to talk about a few and few . | |
| 04:25 | A little little what the difference is key differences here | |
| 04:30 | and then finally we're going to talk about enough and | |
| 04:33 | any okay , so for today's lesson I chose um | |
| 04:38 | I wanted to focus on topics that I noticed many | |
| 04:41 | learners have questions about or that I read lots of | |
| 04:45 | mistakes . So uh sometimes I read your comments all | |
| 04:49 | the time all the time and I noticed many mistakes | |
| 04:53 | about this topic . So I chose those points . | |
| 04:57 | For today , I'm going to share the lesson . | |
| 05:01 | But okay and get started . Okay , so let's | |
| 05:05 | begin first . Countable noun ones and uncountable noun . | |
| 05:10 | What is this ? Okay , so countable noun and | |
| 05:14 | uncountable noun . Maybe a beginner grammar point for some | |
| 05:17 | of you . Maybe it's a new grammar point for | |
| 05:20 | some of you basically accountable . Now towns are now | |
| 05:25 | sounds . We can count with numbers . That means | |
| 05:28 | we make a countable noun . The plural form with | |
| 05:33 | an S . Sound S sound . So for example | |
| 05:37 | a marker is a countable noun . I can count | |
| 05:41 | it with numbers , I can say one marker , | |
| 05:43 | two markers , three markers and so on . To | |
| 05:47 | make the countable or I'm sorry to make the plural | |
| 05:49 | form . We simply add an S . Sound . | |
| 05:52 | So here are some more examples of countable mountains . | |
| 05:56 | Dog student cookie car . So we add S . | |
| 06:00 | To make the plural form so more than one . | |
| 06:04 | Yeah , so dogs , students cookies , cars . | |
| 06:08 | Okay , so this is a countable noun . Mhm | |
| 06:12 | . An uncountable noun on the other hand , is | |
| 06:16 | a noun . We cannot count with numbers , we | |
| 06:20 | cannot say one , this or too that for an | |
| 06:23 | uncountable . Now we use counter words to do this | |
| 06:28 | . So here are some examples of uncountable noun . | |
| 06:34 | We have air water , Time money , so we | |
| 06:39 | can't say one money or one time . We don't | |
| 06:44 | use 123 before these . Now we use counters . | |
| 06:49 | So for example with water , a bottle of water | |
| 06:53 | or a glass of water , we use those counters | |
| 06:58 | to express the amounts or the quantities with uncountable amounts | |
| 07:03 | . Right , okay , so this is the basic | |
| 07:07 | then we need to think about countable and uncountable noun | |
| 07:12 | . The difference is when we want to talk about | |
| 07:16 | how much or how many of something we have . | |
| 07:21 | So let's begin with countable . Now , it's just | |
| 07:24 | a few examples here when you want to express a | |
| 07:28 | large number of something accountable now you can use for | |
| 07:33 | example , these expressions lots of something many something tons | |
| 07:41 | of or a lot of there are many different expressions | |
| 07:46 | we can use to talk about large numbers , but | |
| 07:50 | these are very , very common . So we use | |
| 07:53 | lots of plus the plural form like lots of markers | |
| 07:57 | or many students or tons of dogs or a lot | |
| 08:02 | of cookies . Yeah , so we use the plural | |
| 08:06 | form now and plus S after this to express a | |
| 08:11 | large number . Okay , then on the other hand | |
| 08:16 | , uh Samir abu rights , bottles of waters . | |
| 08:20 | Uh no . We would say bottles of water . | |
| 08:23 | We don't put an S at the end of this | |
| 08:26 | year , bottles of water . Your counter where it | |
| 08:28 | is plural here . Okay , then on the other | |
| 08:32 | hand , when you want to talk about large amounts | |
| 08:37 | of uncountable now owns , you can use expressions like | |
| 08:41 | these . So lots of is okay to use for | |
| 08:44 | both . Yeah , lots of is good for both | |
| 08:47 | . We can use tons of also a lot of | |
| 08:51 | and then I have here much . This is a | |
| 08:54 | key point . I see with learners , lots of | |
| 08:58 | learners think , oh , I use many in this | |
| 09:01 | expression with countable noun . Much here , but we | |
| 09:06 | cannot use much in a positive sentence when we're talking | |
| 09:11 | about quantity . So for example , it's incorrect to | |
| 09:15 | say I have much time . That's incorrect . We | |
| 09:21 | only use much with negative sentences . So for example | |
| 09:27 | , I don't have much time . Okay , so | |
| 09:30 | this is one kind of strange point to think about | |
| 09:34 | . Okay , yes . Uh mode use three huge | |
| 09:39 | , huge is an adjective , right ? So you | |
| 09:42 | can say a huge amount of something . Yes . | |
| 09:46 | So there are many different expressions we can use to | |
| 09:49 | talk about large numbers or large amounts I chose in | |
| 09:53 | for today's lesson . I chose very very common expressions | |
| 09:57 | we use . Okay , all right , okay . | |
| 10:02 | I don't see other questions . Some interesting examples are | |
| 10:06 | coming in gent and he says lots of dogs eat | |
| 10:08 | pizza , is that true ? Okay . All right | |
| 10:12 | , good . Someone on facebook . Sorry , I | |
| 10:14 | can't read your name says I don't have much time | |
| 10:16 | . Good , good , good . Okay , let's | |
| 10:18 | continue . So we talked about large numbers and large | |
| 10:22 | amounts . Now let's talk about small numbers and small | |
| 10:25 | amounts . This leads us to part two for today's | |
| 10:28 | lesson . So to talk about a small number . | |
| 10:33 | You can use some or a few or a few | |
| 10:37 | . What's the difference here ? We're going to talk | |
| 10:39 | about this in part two of today's lesson . The | |
| 10:42 | difference between a few and few . What is the | |
| 10:44 | deal on the other hand , for uncountable noun , | |
| 10:49 | we can use some . Also some is okay here | |
| 10:52 | With both . We can use a little and little | |
| 10:57 | and again , you might think what is the difference | |
| 10:59 | between those ? Part 2 ? I'm going to focus | |
| 11:02 | on these points in part two . Okay then this | |
| 11:07 | is another thing I've noticed . Some learners make mistakes | |
| 11:10 | with when you want to express that you have more | |
| 11:14 | of something than you need if you're known as Countable | |
| 11:19 | , you can say too many . Too many . | |
| 11:22 | For example , I have too many books . I | |
| 11:25 | have too many books like I have no space have | |
| 11:27 | too many books . If you're now is uncountable , | |
| 11:31 | you use I have too much free time . So | |
| 11:35 | in this expression we can , it's okay to say | |
| 11:38 | too much . This is fine , but we cannot | |
| 11:40 | use much . I have much free time is incorrect | |
| 11:44 | . Okay ? So please note we cannot use . | |
| 11:47 | So in this expression , uh sometimes I see learners | |
| 11:51 | using so into in the same way incorrect . I'm | |
| 11:54 | going to talk about that next week's live lesson actually | |
| 11:57 | . Okay , so this is the basis for today's | |
| 12:02 | lesson . Countable and Uncountable Mountains . We need to | |
| 12:06 | know this to understand the rest of today's lesson . | |
| 12:10 | The other points . Okay ? So if you have | |
| 12:13 | questions , please send them in the chat . I | |
| 12:16 | will try to check your questions live . Okay , | |
| 12:20 | Looks good . So let's go to a very short | |
| 12:23 | break and then we're going to talk about few and | |

| 13:48 | questions are coming . Um , Dennis yuks on our | |
| 13:53 | Youtube says , can I say I did so many | |
| 13:55 | mistakes . Close say I made so many mistakes , | |
| 13:58 | we say to make a mistake to make a mistake | |
| 14:02 | . That's a set phrase . I made so many | |
| 14:04 | mistakes . Okay . Uh you know , so he | |
| 14:08 | says I don't need more snacks . I already have | |
| 14:10 | too many snacks . Really . I can never have | |
| 14:14 | too many snacks . I love snacks . So okay | |
| 14:17 | , good . Let's go to uh part two , | |
| 14:22 | Part two . So let's talk about few and a | |
| 14:25 | few and a little and a little . This is | |
| 14:29 | a small difference . I know , but it changes | |
| 14:34 | the feeling of your sentence a lot . This decision | |
| 14:38 | . So this is a key point for intermediate learners | |
| 14:41 | I think . And advanced learners . Please please please | |
| 14:44 | remember this . Okay , so let's look a few | |
| 14:49 | few . What's the deal here ? So this part | |
| 14:52 | is about countable noun . That's the first point . | |
| 14:56 | We use a few and few with countable now . | |
| 15:00 | So in this sentence I'm going to come in these | |
| 15:03 | two sentences . I'm going to compare the differences . | |
| 15:07 | So let's read first . What's the difference ? My | |
| 15:10 | company bought a few computers . My company bought a | |
| 15:13 | few computers . Okay . And my company bought a | |
| 15:17 | few computers . My company bought a few computers . | |
| 15:21 | Both sentences are 100 correct . No problem there . | |
| 15:25 | Great . Great sentences . Perfect . So what's the | |
| 15:28 | difference ? The difference is right here this up . | |
| 15:31 | So my company bought a few computers or my company | |
| 15:34 | bought few computers . What's the difference ? This sentence | |
| 15:38 | here with a few sounds like a simple neutral fact | |
| 15:44 | . I'm giving you information . My company bought a | |
| 15:47 | few computers last week . It's just basic information . | |
| 15:50 | Like a report . Yeah . This sentence . My | |
| 15:54 | company bought a few computers . Sounds like a negative | |
| 15:59 | situation or a negative conditions . So my company bought | |
| 16:03 | few computers . We need a lot though . Our | |
| 16:07 | team is growing . So this small change yeah shows | |
| 16:12 | us that the situation is negative . Or maybe there | |
| 16:15 | was a negative effect . We'll see the same thing | |
| 16:18 | with little in just a minute . So this uh | |
| 16:23 | shows us a simple report . Simple fact . No | |
| 16:27 | . Up here shows it's a negative situation or condition | |
| 16:32 | . However , there is 11 case or 11 situation | |
| 16:41 | where it does not mean it's negative in this example | |
| 16:44 | sentence . My company has a few problems . So | |
| 16:49 | here I have a few noah , my company has | |
| 16:52 | a few problems if the noun after few problems is | |
| 16:59 | a negative . Now , the feeling of the sentence | |
| 17:03 | is positive . So one important point when I say | |
| 17:07 | negative noun here , I mean this now means something | |
| 17:12 | bad . Something that's a problem . Something bad in | |
| 17:15 | society in this case a problem is not a good | |
| 17:19 | thing , Right ? So my company has a few | |
| 17:23 | problems in this case . When the now is a | |
| 17:26 | bad thing and you use a few , The sentence | |
| 17:30 | sounds positive , the feeling is positive , like my | |
| 17:33 | company has few problems . My company has very few | |
| 17:37 | problems , it's great . This sentence sounds happy , | |
| 17:40 | it sounds good . Okay , so this is the | |
| 17:43 | difference with few and a few . Okay , good | |
| 17:48 | . Some of your examples are coming in good . | |
| 17:51 | Uhh let's see . There is uh Salma , there | |
| 17:56 | is a few apple in the fridge , very close | |
| 17:59 | plural . There are a few apples in the fridge | |
| 18:03 | . Don't forget your s at the end of your | |
| 18:05 | accountable now . Okay , Eduardo says why do you | |
| 18:08 | put apples in the fridge ? Okay . Alright . | |
| 18:12 | Other examples , there are a few books for reading | |
| 18:16 | here . Nice one . Uh rakesh . Okay , | |
| 18:19 | uh Magdalena says I bought a few computers . Ok | |
| 18:23 | , Yeah , so that's good . If you want | |
| 18:24 | to express a negative situation or a negative condition , | |
| 18:28 | I bought a few computers . Okay . Daniel says | |
| 18:32 | there are few rich people in the world . Really | |
| 18:35 | ? Really ? I don't know how many are there | |
| 18:38 | . Okay . All right , let's go then . | |
| 18:40 | Let's go to the next part . Someone . Uh | |
| 18:43 | Let's see some of you are writing some examples of | |
| 18:46 | this . Let's now let's compare this to a little | |
| 18:49 | and little so . Same thing . Right . A | |
| 18:53 | little and little . Same idea as a few and | |
| 18:58 | few . The difference . We use little and a | |
| 19:01 | little with uncountable noun . Uncountable noun . Right , | |
| 19:06 | So before we talked about air water Time money , | |
| 19:11 | we need counter words for this . Yeah . Okay | |
| 19:15 | , so Let's compare these two sentences first . We | |
| 19:21 | have a little time to finish the project . We | |
| 19:25 | have a little time to finish the project and we | |
| 19:28 | have little time to finish the project . We have | |
| 19:31 | little time to finish the project . So again , | |
| 19:35 | these two the only difference is this uh yeah . | |
| 19:39 | We have a little time and we have little time | |
| 19:43 | again . This sentence with uh sounds like a simple | |
| 19:49 | neutral fact . We have a little time to finish | |
| 19:52 | the project . It's okay . Don't worry . We | |
| 19:54 | have a little time . Sounds okay . Just a | |
| 19:56 | fact . This sentence sounds negative . We have little | |
| 20:01 | time to finish the project . We have little time | |
| 20:04 | . Sounds like oh we need to rush or we | |
| 20:06 | need to hurry . There's a lot to do . | |
| 20:09 | We have little time to finish the project . Okay | |
| 20:13 | . All right . I'm looking for your other questions | |
| 20:17 | . Okay . So same idea as with few . | |
| 20:20 | But again we have to use this with Uncountable Knowns | |
| 20:24 | here . My known is time . This is an | |
| 20:26 | uncountable . Now we have a little time to finish | |
| 20:30 | the project so I cannot use a few . We | |
| 20:33 | have a few times . No , if you change | |
| 20:36 | this now we have a few hours hours . It's | |
| 20:40 | okay , ours is accountable now . A few so | |
| 20:45 | mixture you check . Your noun is a countable or | |
| 20:49 | uncountable here . Finally the same thing we saw in | |
| 20:55 | our last example sentence here with few is also true | |
| 21:01 | here . This example sentence my city has little pollution | |
| 21:06 | . My city has little pollution . What's pollution , | |
| 21:10 | pollution ? It's like it's bad air or bad water | |
| 21:14 | , dirty air or dirty water . So the city | |
| 21:17 | is not clean . Yeah , So pollution means all | |
| 21:22 | that bad or dirty stuff . Yeah . So my | |
| 21:25 | city has little pollution again , if the noun after | |
| 21:30 | little in this case is a negative . Now something | |
| 21:34 | bad . The feeling of the sentence is positive . | |
| 21:38 | So my city has little pollution . This is a | |
| 21:41 | good thing . So pollution not good , but I | |
| 21:46 | want to express . There's not very much of it | |
| 21:50 | . My city has little pollution . This sentence sounds | |
| 21:53 | positive . Okay . All right , good , looks | |
| 21:58 | good . Okay , I'm looking for your questions . | |
| 22:02 | Uh We still have a little time for a cup | |
| 22:06 | of coffee , says jorGE perfect . That's a great | |
| 22:09 | example . You can use that at the end of | |
| 22:11 | a business meeting , you could use that maybe after | |
| 22:14 | you have lunch with a friend , you can say | |
| 22:16 | , oh we still have a little time for a | |
| 22:18 | cup of coffee . Not we still have little time | |
| 22:21 | , but that little uh small uh there it makes | |
| 22:24 | a big difference in feeling . Yeah , okay . | |
| 22:27 | Um Zakaria , I hope I said that right on | |
| 22:31 | facebook says there is little clean air in big cities | |
| 22:35 | . Very nice , very nice . Okay , good | |
| 22:37 | examples have er what's the difference between little and small | |
| 22:41 | ? Good morning . In this . Yeah . In | |
| 22:44 | this when we're talking about how much of something , | |
| 22:47 | when we're talking about quantity like this , um we | |
| 22:51 | can use a small amount of time I suppose . | |
| 22:54 | Like in this sentence we have a small amount of | |
| 22:58 | time but we can't replace it directly . We have | |
| 23:01 | a small time to finish . The project is not | |
| 23:04 | doesn't work so we can't switch a little and small | |
| 23:09 | . In these example sentences if however you are talking | |
| 23:12 | about size like uh a small car , then it's | |
| 23:18 | fine . You can use both of them the same | |
| 23:21 | . Okay . All right , good times . Going | |
| 23:24 | quick . So let's go to the last point for | |
| 23:27 | today . The final point for today is about enough | |
| 23:30 | . And any . How do we use enough ? | |
| 23:33 | And how do we use any ? Okay , let's | |
| 23:36 | take a look again . Let's compare a few points | |
| 23:39 | . So uh enough . This is one . I | |
| 23:41 | see . Yeah . Okay . I see some mistakes | |
| 23:44 | with this . So let's talk about it . Alright | |
| 23:48 | . Some questions are coming . Uh nee lee can | |
| 23:51 | these words be used formally ? And I'm not sure | |
| 23:54 | what you mean by unnaturally but formally . Yes , | |
| 23:57 | you can use uh these words in formal situations . | |
| 24:01 | Uh you might hear some longer expressions used but yes | |
| 24:06 | you can . Okay um Other points . Cindy Sms | |
| 24:10 | One of our members high says can I say a | |
| 24:13 | little bit ? Yes , you can say a little | |
| 24:14 | bit . That sounds a little casual actually . Okay | |
| 24:18 | . Um Okay let's go to the last point . | |
| 24:23 | Enough . Let's talk about enough . What is the | |
| 24:26 | deal ? So again let's compare enough to sentences first | |
| 24:31 | . We have enough time . We have enough time | |
| 24:36 | and we don't have enough time . We don't have | |
| 24:41 | enough time . So what does enough express ? What | |
| 24:45 | what does its deal ? So when we use enough | |
| 24:47 | in a positive sentence like this , in this case | |
| 24:51 | I have it with time and uncountable . Now this | |
| 24:54 | means it matches the need in the situation we have | |
| 24:59 | enough time . So enough time means the time I | |
| 25:02 | have matches my requirement matches my needs . So for | |
| 25:07 | example , it takes me one hour to finish this | |
| 25:11 | task . I have one hour to finish the task | |
| 25:15 | . I can say I have enough time . It | |
| 25:18 | matches my need . On the other hand , however | |
| 25:22 | , we don't have enough time negative . Don't have | |
| 25:26 | enough time means this does not match my needs . | |
| 25:30 | So my task takes one hour . I have 30 | |
| 25:33 | minutes . I don't have enough time . The time | |
| 25:37 | does not match my need . Right , Okay . | |
| 25:42 | So sometimes they say maybe like mm enough . Used | |
| 25:47 | in sort of interesting ways . So please be careful | |
| 25:51 | of how you use enough enough is used to talk | |
| 25:54 | about matching a requirement . It's also common to see | |
| 25:59 | enough in requests and questions too . So here's a | |
| 26:04 | request in this case . I used it with accountable | |
| 26:07 | now . You can do this . You can use | |
| 26:09 | it with countable noun . Uncountable now . So for | |
| 26:12 | example , please buy enough snacks for everyone at the | |
| 26:16 | party . Please buy enough snacks for everyone at the | |
| 26:18 | party . What does this mean ? Make sure to | |
| 26:21 | meet the requirement or the need . So I say | |
| 26:25 | to someone else , Please buy enough snacks for everyone | |
| 26:28 | at the party . That means please make sure you | |
| 26:32 | buy snacks . You buy so many snacks that everyone | |
| 26:35 | can eat . You are matching the needs of our | |
| 26:37 | situation . Okay . All right , good . Some | |
| 26:41 | examples are coming in . That is enough . Water | |
| 26:45 | says bright moon . Good . I have enough clothes | |
| 26:47 | to wear good . Okay , Miguel , we don't | |
| 26:50 | have enough money . Good , jan Tony . I | |
| 26:52 | don't have enough meal . Maybe I don't have enough | |
| 26:54 | food in my fridge . We would say . Usually | |
| 26:57 | I don't have enough time . Good , nice examples | |
| 27:01 | . Everyone . Okay , look , looks good , | |
| 27:03 | looks really , really good . Okay . Oh , | |
| 27:06 | Giancarlo says can we use sufficient ? Yes . Uh | |
| 27:10 | , sufficient is not used as much in everyday conversation | |
| 27:16 | , sufficient is used in more business polite or um | |
| 27:22 | like formal documents for example , like we did not | |
| 27:26 | have sufficient time to prepare the report . That sounds | |
| 27:29 | much more formal . We don't use it so much | |
| 27:32 | in everyday conversation . Yes . Okay . Good . | |
| 27:36 | Okay . I don't see other questions . Let's go | |
| 27:39 | to the last point for today very quickly . I | |
| 27:42 | want to review any . I didn't talk about any | |
| 27:46 | at the beginning of today's lesson . Uh so let's | |
| 27:48 | cover it here . Any what ? Uh any . | |
| 27:52 | We use any in questions and we use any negative | |
| 27:57 | sentences . For example , do we have any milk | |
| 28:01 | ? Do we have any milk ? Sometimes I see | |
| 28:03 | learners go , do we have some milk ? Mm | |
| 28:06 | Make sure to use any when you're asking questions like | |
| 28:10 | this , Do we have any uh some not some | |
| 28:14 | . And when you want to talk about having zero | |
| 28:18 | of something , we don't have any snacks . This | |
| 28:23 | sentence is okay too . We don't have snacks . | |
| 28:26 | This one sounds more like we have zero of snacks | |
| 28:29 | . Oh no , we don't have any snacks . | |
| 28:33 | Okay . So make sure you use them in these | |
| 28:36 | two situations . Using questions using negative sentences . I'm | |
| 28:41 | not going to talk about this point a lot today | |
| 28:43 | because I have a video on the english class one | |
| 28:46 | A one Youtube maybe on facebook and our website I | |
| 28:50 | talked about any and some and quantify there's so many | |
| 28:54 | points . Maybe I'll put I'll put some links uh | |
| 28:57 | in the Youtube description after this lesson . So if | |
| 29:00 | you want to review uh some of today's points , | |
| 29:04 | you can check those links . So please have a | |
| 29:06 | look at the Youtube description when this lesson ends . | |
| 29:09 | Okay , good . Some of you are sending questions | |
| 29:12 | with any , some people say do you have any | |
| 29:14 | questions for me ? Do you have any idea what | |
| 29:16 | time you'll be there ? Very nice example , Is | |
| 29:19 | there any food says Oop are very nice ? Uh | |
| 29:24 | You see the sunset , I don't have any money | |
| 29:26 | . Good . Uh bobby says do we have any | |
| 29:28 | money ? Great . Your any questions are really good | |
| 29:32 | . Really good . Um Eduardo . Good question . | |
| 29:35 | Can we change any for no ? Uh So for | |
| 29:39 | example , like in this sentence uh we don't have | |
| 29:43 | any snacks , we cannot do it directly . You | |
| 29:48 | can't say we don't have no snacks . Some ways | |
| 29:52 | of speaking english use that , Yes . Uh but | |
| 29:56 | you might hear more commonly , we have no snacks | |
| 30:00 | . We have no snacks , so no double negative | |
| 30:03 | . They're more common is we have no snacks . | |
| 30:06 | Yeah . Okay . Okay . Uh wow . Some | |
| 30:10 | good examples are coming in . All right , Everybody | |
| 30:13 | is really good with any . That's awesome . That's | |
| 30:17 | awesome . Okay . But I have to finish . | |
| 30:19 | I don't have any more time left , so I | |
