a) Read the examples. Which words do we use with countable/uncountable nouns? Which do we use in affirmative, in negative sentences, and in requests? Make sentences using them. 1 We've got some juice. We haven't got much sugar. We haven't got many apples. 2 There aren't any/are no apples. 3 There are a lot of bananas in the fridge. 4 Is there any milk? 5 Can I have some crisps? 6 I'll have a little/some cream with my cake. 7 Let's buy a few/some peppers. b) You want a snack. Discuss what there is to eat with your partner. A: Is there any milk? B: Yes, a little. Are there any ...? Etc.
Countable nouns обозначают отдельные предметы: apples, bananas, crisps, peppers. С ними употребляем many и a few. Uncountable nouns не считаются поштучно: juice, sugar, milk, cream; с ними употребляем much и a little. Some и a lot of подходят обеим группам. В утвердительных предложениях обычно берём some и a lot of; в отрицаниях — any, no, much, many; в обычных вопросах — any. В просьбе Can I have...? ставим some, поскольку ожидаем положительный ответ. В диалоге Is there...? относится к неисчисляемому milk, а Are there...? — к исчисляемым apples.
