Rooftops 6 Unit 5: At the Market

When we talk about objects, food, drinks, etc. there is something we should consider: Is it countable or uncountable?
But... What is "countable"?

COUNTABLE is an noun that we can count: Three dogs, eighty books, seven dwarves... "dogs", "books" and "dwarves" are countable nouns.

UNCOUNTABLE is a noun that we cannot count. "Seven money", "four water" are terrible mistakes😱 (we cannot count 'moneys' or 'waters').
We can, however, say "seven euros" or "four water bottles". By using more nouns we can turn an uncountable noun into a countable one.

We don't use these nouns in an isolated way. We usually need to use A/AN, SOME and ANY but... do you know when to use them appropriately? Here's a video to help you with that:

And, we also use 'How much' and 'How many' with countables and uncountables.

Let's sum up this lesson with your favourite part; GAMES!

Typing practice!

Look at your keyboard:

It was designed to use both hands to type. Do you type using two fingers? You can do it better! Faster typers use 10 fingers .

You may find it difficult at the beggining - using all your fingers is something new! - but you will improve.

Here are some websites and games to help you mastering your typing. Give them a try!

Comparative and Superlative adjectives

We use comparative and superlative adjectives to compare things and to say which thing is top in a group.

Add ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ for one syllable adjectives.

one syllable: small – smaller – the smallest

Add ‘-ier’ and ‘-iest’ for two syllable adjectives which end in ‘y’ (and take away the ‘y’).

two syllables with ‘y’: happy – happier – the happiest

Use ‘more’ and ‘the most’ with other two syllable (or more) adjectives.

two+ syllables: beautiful – more beautiful – the most beautiful

Be careful!

Some adjectives work in a different way. We call them 'irregular adjectives':

Now you can have fun practising comparatives and superlatives with these games (NEW GAMES UPDATED!)
