Intermediate Level 5
 Countables and Uncountables

Expressing quantities: Countable and Uncountable

Express quantities: Countables and Uncountables

It is necessary to understand correctly the difference between uncountable and countable to

being able to correctly express the quantities.
We can separate the nouns into two groups: uncountable and countable.

The countable nouns are those names of things, people, etc. that we can
count. For example, we can say: one pencil, two pencils, three
pencils... So we say that pencil is countable.

chair, book, cat, pen, box, letter ...

Uncountable is everything that we cannot count. For example

we cannot say: one rice, two rices, three rices... So we say that
Rice is uncountable.

salt, wood, tea, wine, sugar, oxygen, advice, bread, furniture,

hair

Also, many nouns can be both countable and uncountable at the same time.
depending on the function they perform:
For example:
There are two lambs.
We like lamb.

We can count uncountable quantities of things using, for example: glass.

bottle, litre, etc...
examples:
a glass of water
three cartons of milk
a loaf of bread

In this table you can see the main differences between accountants and

An adverb is the word that normally accompanies the verb to modify its
meaning. An adverb can also modify adjectives or other adverbs.
adverbs.

Example:

Intermediate Level 15
They write the letter.
They write the letter quickly.
In this example, quickly is an adverb of manner that modifies the verb write.
express that they write quickly.

Types of adverbs

time adverbs: last week, soon, now... They answer the question of:
when?
adverbs of place: at home, abroad, everywhere... They answer the question of:
Where?
degree adverbs: less, much, more... They answer the question: how much?
adverbs of manner: aloud, fast, hard, low... They answer the question: how?
frequency adverbs: sometimes, usually... Answer the question: with
What frequency? How many times?
adverbs of affirmation or reason: certainly, likely, neither, moreover... They tell us
something about the situation described in the sentence.

The order of adverbs in a sentence

There are four positions in a sentence where an adverb can go:

At the beginning of the sentence. Example: Every day we go to our place of business.
In the middle (next to the verb and after the object if there is one). Example: Wenever
said it would be easy.
In the end. Example: You must drive carefully.
Between the auxiliary and participle. Example: We have always followed the rules.

Place and time adverbs usually go at the end of the sentence.

example: This web page will be down this weekend.

Frequency adverbs usually go in the middle of the sentence.

example: I've always wanted a smoking jacket!
The adverbs: normally, usually, often, sometimes, every day, once a week ...
They can also go at the beginning or at the end of the sentence.

Manner adverbs usually go at the end of the sentence, although the

Adverbs ending in -ly can also be placed in the middle.
examples:
He drives perfectly.
He perfectly recognized her.

The adverbs of affirmation or reason can go at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the sentence.
sentence. Except for also, which usually goes in the middle of the sentence, and too/as well that
from the end.
examples:
Maybe she will laugh again.
We also accept payment by check.
We accept payment by check, too.

Form adverbs with the ending -ly

Many adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding the ending

-ly which corresponds to the -mente ending in Spanish:
honest-->honestly(honrado - honradamente)

Although for certain adjectives there are some rules to follow:

Intermediate Level 16
The general rule is to add the suffix -ly to the adjective.

slowly

2. Adjectives ending in consonant-y change the ending-y to that of

-ily

QUESTION TAGS

In English, it is common to end sentences with another short phrase, of the opposite sign.
which intends to ask for the opinion or seek the approval of the interlocutor, are
the so-called question tags.

Equivalent to: right?, isn't it true?, no?, isn't that so? Seriously?

The simple past is used to talk about a specific action that began and ended in
the past. We use it with expressions like: last year, yesterday, last night...

Example:

We can also express a duration when talking about the past: all day, for years, for
thirty minutes...

Example:
Tom talked to me for two hours.

In the simple past, the form 'used to' is also used to

to express something we used to do in the past but no longer do.

Example:

Comparatives and Superlatives
List comparatives-superlatives
Let's practice:Test

Comparatives and Superlatives

Adjectives: Comparatives and Superlatives

Adjectives: Comparatives and Superlatives

Degrees of the adjective:

Just like in Spanish, when we want to make comparisons we contrast.

qualities or attributes through adjectives in their various degrees:

1. The positive degree: it is the quality in its simplest form: fast.

Intermediate Level 25
 2. The comparative degree:

faster than... more rapid than...

less fast than
comparative of equality: as fast as ...
[Link] grado superlativo: the fastest ... el más rápido

Formation of the comparative and the superlative:

To form the comparative or superlative, we will apply different rules according to the
following groups:

1. For short or one-syllable adjectives:

The comparison:
To form the comparative we add the ending -er to the adjective:
For example, we add -er to the adjective fast: faster.

Examples:
A train is faster than a bicycle.
The sea is larger than a lake.

The superlative:
To form the superlative, we will add -est to the adjective; moreover, the adjective will go
preceded by the article The.
For example, we add -est to the adjective old: the oldest.

Examples:
My father is the oldest.
My house is the largest.

2. For adjectives ending in 'y', 'er', 'le', 'ow' of two syllables:

The comparison:
To form comparisons, the ending -er is added.
And if they end in 'eny', this will be replaced by 'lailatina'.
For example, the adjective easy will end with -ier: easier.

Examples:
This work is easier than yours.
I'm cleverer than her.
My car is slower than yours.

The superlative:
To form the superlative we will add -est.
And if they end up in, this will be replaced by lailatina. Also, it will always be preceded by the
article The. For example, the adjective ugly will end with -iest: the ugliest.
Ugly)

Examples:

Intermediate Level 26
 This man is the ugliest.

3. For long adjectives of two or more syllables

The comparison:
To make comparisons, the adjective will be preceded by the word more. For example,
the adjective modern will be more modern

Examples:
This house is more modern.

The superlative:
To form the superlative, the adjective will be preceded by: The + most
The adjective beautiful will be: The most beautiful.

Examples:
This woman is the most beautiful.

The irregular adjectives:

They are the adjectives that have a particular syntax for comparisons and superlatives:

adjective comparison superlative

good better The best
bad worse The worst
far further-farther The furthest-farthest
old older / eldest oldest / eldest
many/much more most
little less least

Other examples:

I'm stronger.
I'm stronger than you.
This car is more comfortable than yours.
She's got the same dress as yours.
You're as fast as him.
You're not as good as him!
He's the richest man in the town.
She's the most beautiful actress I know.

Future plans

The verb 'going to' is used for future plans, whether they are immediate or long-term.

The aspect that differentiates it from the future with 'will' is the sense of 'planning'. Hence
let's say 'I am going to Paris in August'
of a long-term plan. On the other hand, if we say 'I will go to Paris in August', the receiver
understands that the speaker has just made the decision to travel to Paris in August. So
Well, the difference lies in the intention of the speaker.

Something is definitely going to happen

We can also use the form going to when we are sure that something is going to happen.
to happen. In these cases, the speaker has a series of indicators that allow them to
predict the near future more or less accurately.

Example: (if we see someone not warmly dressed on a cold rainy day)
You are going to catch a cold

On some occasions we can use the future with will or the future with going to for
make predictions indiscriminately. The difference lies in the degree of certainty of
speaker.
Example:
Here we have great certainty

Intermediate Level 47
that he is going to suspend. Here personal subjective opinions intervene.
Here we are based on
facts that lead us to the conclusion that he is going to fail the exam. Surely
has not studied until the last moment.

Other Uses:

To talk about something we have just decided that we are going to do in the future.
I'm going to write some letters this evening.

When we see a future action due to a present situation.

Microsoft is going to launch a new product.

To talk about plans or ambitions for the future.

I'm going to take a sabbatical year.
He is going to work in a restaurant in Paris.)

Negative clause
