      Silvia Kerkelova Hi Silvia, thanks for your message. :)
      All of your answers are correct. Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson!
      A very minor spelling mistake: "coffe" --> "coffee" but everything else is perfect.

  • @sara7az532
    @sara7az532 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Andrew, I have a question suppose we have 3 or 4 apples on the table as we can see it's countable and it's obvious. Why can't we use some instead of "a" because as I know a always make something singular like what if we say just few and not add "a"
    Ex. A pencil, means one pencil in this case it is little different to me.

      "Also there are a few napkin." --> "Also there are a few napkins." (the countable noun must be in the plural form)
      "finaly" --> "finally"

  • @JacquelineRamirez1983
    @JacquelineRamirez1983 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Andrew,
    So, it's wrong to say (there's a few slices of bread)? Especially if the bread is sliced, it can be countable... right? I am just curious

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jacquéline Ramirez We would say "there *are* a few slices of bread." because slices = a countable noun in the plural.Or, we must say "There's some bread" or "there's a little bread" because bread alone is always uncountable.

    i'm bilingual english french ,what you're saying makes absolute sense to me but i always find it hard to explain to someone in french the rules . For me it just is that way i don't question it or question myself , i guess its because english was overwhelmingly predominant at home ,french was relegated to school thus with one i had a more scholar approach and the other was more free style immersive

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish

    Could you please help me out.

      Gabriele De Rosa This is similar to when we are using" a lot of "after there are and before the countable nouns in positive sentences. We can't use many or much in positive sentences generally, thats why we have to use a lot of or a few or a little but it depends on the noun is countable or uncountable.

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lola Hey Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are the corrections:
      1.There is a little chips. -> "There are a few chips." (countable)
      2.There is a little coffee. -> Correct
      3.There are a few snickers. -> Correct.
      4.There are a few candies - > "There is a little candy." (Candy is uncountable.)
      Candy is an American word. In British English we say "sweets" (countable) So in British English we say: "There are a few sweets."
      You did very well. You have understood the lesson. You just need to learn which nouns are countable and uncountable.

    hello , i am regularly watching your videos. just one question arise - some, few all,and all are determiner or pronoun ? likewise each and every - each is determiner and pronoun other side every is just determiner. example - each of his friends ( each is working as pronoun. which is result for selection from his friends, which is pronoun) but selection can be done for every which is only determiner so we use every friend. now question the same some, few, a little and all are all act as a determiner or pronouns ?
