Can Men Cook?

We listened to a program called “Can men cook?”

And we learnt how to make spaghetti Bolognese according to Colin.

He needed:

Some spaghetti

An onion.                              We use a /an for singular countable nouns.

A carrot

Some mushrooms               We use some for plural nouns or uncountable

Some meat                           nouns.

Some butter

Some red wine

Some tomato ketchup

Some cheese

The result wasn’t very good!

So, we learnt that uncountable nouns don’t have plural form. And that we use:

	AFFIRMATIVE	NEGATIVE	QUESTION
SINGULAR	There’s an apple	There isn’t an apple	Is there an apple?
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS	There’s some sugar	There isn’t any sugar	Is there any sugar?
COUNTABLE NOUNS	There are some mushrooms.	There aren’t any mushrooms.	Are there any mushrooms?

Let’s have a look at Healthy Hannah’s shopping basket:

         ·            There are some carrots.

         ·            There’s a bottle of mineral water.

         ·            There’s some fruit juice but there isn’t any orange juice.

         ·            There are some tomatoes but there aren’t any onions.

         ·            Is there any bread in her basket?

         ·            Are there any crisps?

What’s in your fridge? Mine is empty! There isn’t anything. I have to go shopping!
