Grammar Basics: Unit 68 – Countable & Uncountable Nouns, Part 1

Posted on 2013/04/11
by

All nouns are either countable or uncountable.

Countable nouns are nouns that are individual things.  They can be numbered one, two, three, etc.

Example:

One bird

One bird

Two chairs

Two chairs

Three cars

Three cars

Four trees

Four trees

etc.

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:

Singular:  a chair, the chair, my chair, his chair, etc.
Plural:  chairs, the chairs, my chairs, his chairs, some chairs, many chairs, etc.

Note:
The singular form can never be used alone – it always needs an article (a, an, the) or a possessive adjective (my, your, his, etc.).

Example:

We sat under a tree.  (not under tree)

Uncountable nouns are nouns that are not individual things.  They cannot be numbered one, two, three, etc.

Some uncountable nouns:

Water, milk, oil, etc. (any liquid)
Salt, sugar, flour, etc.
Money, music, bread, grass, work, rice, etc.

Uncountable nouns do not use “a/an.”  They do not use a plural form:

Bread, the bread, my bread, some bread, much bread, etc.

Example:

I’m going to eat some bread.  (not a bread)

We can use “a piece of ~,” “a glass of ~,” “a slice of ~,” etc.:

Would you like a piece of cake / a slice of cake?
I’m thirsty – could I please have a glass of water?
The recipe calls for a cup of milk.

Other examples:

a bottle of beer
a bowl of cereal
a piece of candy

Grammar Basics: Unit 67 – Singular and Plural

Posted on 2013/04/09
by

When we talk about the singular form of a noun, we are talking about only one thing.  When we talk about the plural form of a noun, we are talking about two or more things.

Pattern – plural forms have different spellings:

Usually, a plural form is spelled by adding –s to the end of the noun:

 

One kitten

One kitten

  

Two kittens

Two kittens
 

 

One kite

One kite

  

 

Two kites

Two kites

 

Nouns that end in –s, –sh, –ch, or –x form the plural by adding –es:

One bus

One bus

Three buses

Three buses

One dish

One dish

Four dishes

Four dishes

One watch

One watch

Three watches

Three watches

One fox

One fox

Two foxes

Two foxes

 

Nouns that end in –y (following a consonant) form the plural by changing the y to i and adding –es:  –ies:

 

One baby

One baby

  

Two babies

Two babies

 

Nouns that end in –y (following a vowel:  a, e, i, o, or u) do not change the –y to –ies.  They just add –s:

 

One boy

One boy

  

Three boys

Three boys

 

Nouns that end in –f or –fe change the –f to –ves:

 

One leaf

One leaf

  

Several leaves

Several leaves
 

One knife

One knife

  

Several knives

Several knives

 

And nouns that end in –o form the plural by adding –es:

 

One potato

One potato

  

Many potatoes

Many potatoes

 

There are also nouns which have irregular plural forms.

One child Many children
One man Many men
One ox Many oxen
One woman Many women
One louse Many lice
One mouse Many mice

 

One foot Many feet
One goose Many geese
One tooth Many teeth

Quite a number of irregular plural forms are a result of the influence of Latin on English:

One alumnus Many alumni
One cactus Many cacti
One focus Many foci (focuses)
One fungus Many fungi (funguses)
One nucleus Many nuclei
One radius Many radii
One stimulus Many stimuli
One appendix Many appendices
One index Many indices (indexes)
One matrix Many matrices (matrixes)

 

One antenna Many antennae (antennas)
One formula Many formulae (formulas)
One nebula Many nebulae
One vertebra Many vertebrae
One vita Many vitae

 

One bacterium Many bacteria
One curriculum Many curricula
One datum Many data
One medium Many media
One memorandum Many memoranda
One stratum Many strata
One criterion Many criteria
One phenomenon Many phenomena
One genus Many genera
One corpus Many corpora

Some irregular plural forms are a result of the influence of Greek on English:

One axis Many axes
One analysis Many analyses
One basis Many bases
One crisis Many crises
One diagnosis Many diagnoses
One ellipsis Many ellipses
One hypothesis Many hypotheses
One oasis Many oases
One paralysis Many paralyses
One parenthesis Many parentheses
One synthesis Many syntheses
One synopsis Many synopses
One thesis Many theses

Even French influence can be seen in a few irregular plural forms:

One beau Many beaux
One bureau Many bureaux (bureaus)
One tableau Many tableaux (tableaus)

Some nouns do not change at all.  Their plural form is the same as their singular form:

One deer Many deer
One fish Many fish
One means Many means
One offspring Many offspring
One series Many series
One sheep Many sheep

Certain words always have a plural construction and use a plural verb, even though they are a single thing:

scissors:  Careful – those scissors are sharp.
(eye/sun)glasses:  I don’t know where my sunglasses are.
pants:  Steve’s pants were wrinkled.
jeans:  These jeans were on sale.
shorts:  Have you seen my gym shorts?  I thought I put them in the dirty laundry.
pajamas:  Jesse’s pajamas are full of holes.

We often use the phrase “a pair of ~”:

Have you seem my good pair of scissors?
Jack needs to get a new pair of glasses.
There’s a clean pair of pants in the drawer.
That pair of jeans doesn’t fit Tom any more.
This pair of shorts has a hole in the pocket.
Don’t forget to pack a pair of pajamas.

Certain words have plural construction because they refer to a group of persons/animals (collective nouns):

clergy: The clergy are highly respected.
people:  People are so busy that they don’t have time to relax.
police:  You’ll have to take a different route home – the police have blocked Main Street.

Note:  When we use “couple” or “pair” to refer to people, we use plural construction:

couple:  The elderly couple have been married for over 70 years.
pair:  James and John go everywhere together.  The pair are never apart.

Note:  The collective noun “number” uses plural construction in the phrase “a number of ____,” and singular construction in the phrase “the number of ____”:
number:

A number of women are expecting babies this summer.

but

The number of students getting As in trigonometry is small.

In American English, some collective nouns are often treated as singular, whereas in British English they are treated as plural:

audience class committee
corporation crew crowd
enemy faculty family
flock government group
herd jury panel
staff team

 

Exercises.  Write the plural of the following words.

Example:

cat ==> cats

1.    cow
2.    tomato
3.    wish
4.    child
5.    thief
6.    box
7.    kitty
8.    tooth
9.    church
10.    dress
11.    bay
12.    man
13.    apple
14.    story
15.    wife

Example:

There are a lot of ________ in the pasture. ==> There are a lot of sheep in the pasture.

There are a lot of ________ in the pasture. ==> There are a lot of sheep in the pasture.

Education Focus: Student Government

Posted on 2013/04/08
by

student governmentA student in middle school / junior high or high school may have the opportunity to participate in student government.  One way he may participate is by running for a specific position on the student council, such as representative or president of the student body.  These positions generally just play an advisory role – their votes do not carry any authority to make changes within the school.  But they do function as a sort of liaison between the students and the faculty.  Student government gives the administration the opportunity to hear the “voice” of the students.  It allows them to make their opinions known.

Admittedly, sometimes running for a position in student government is little more than a popularity contest.  Nonetheless, it gives all students a chance to participate in the democratic process, either as a candidate or in the act of voting.  Participation in student government also allows students to develop leadership skills, thus preparing them to be active, informed citizens of a democratic republic.

Although the student government has a decidedly limited role, there are some endeavors that it may undertake to leave its mark on the school.  For example, they may choose to set up or sponsor a class project, like a fundraiser for a worthy charity.  Alternatively, they could organize to bestow a class gift or legacy on the school.  This is particularly common with a senior class, who will be graduating and moving on to life beyond high school.  They could thus inspire future students to think about the world outside of their own class and consider how they may leave the school a better place than when they first entered its halls as freshmen.

Kennedy funeral procession leaves White House, November 25, 1963

Kennedy funeral procession leaves White House.
November 25, 1963

It is customary to wear black to a funeral.  Black is the color of mourning, and in the old days, a widow would dress in black for a period of time following her husband’s death.  It was also part of tradition for her to wear a veil over her face.  If black clothes are not worn to the funeral, then the clothes should at least be dark colored, conveying somberness.  A military man may wear his dress uniform for the funeral, especially if the deceased was also a member of the armed forces.  If it is a funeral for a policeman or fireman who died in the line of duty, then his fellow policemen/firemen would also wear their dress uniforms to the funeral.

In the picture of Kennedy’s burial, you can see that Jackie Kennedy is dressed in black, and a veil is covering her face.  You can also see several members of the military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Special Forces – attending to the graveside service as a military honor guard.  In addition to being Commander-in-Chief (as all Presidents are), President Kennedy had served in the Navy in World War II, so the American flag draped his coffin, and he was buried with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.  If you go there today, you will see that his grave is marked with an always-burning fire, called an “eternal flame.”
