NOTE: Is important to know that in second semester students focus in the modal auxiliary verb could in past, but it is not a
bad idea that the students know all this forms of the modal auxiliary verb could. This is only a suggestion if the teacher
consider the use of the modal auxiliary verb could only in the past form, she/he are going to teaching in the correct way
too.

Enriqueta: Oh! Im from Rosarito in Baja California.
Frank: How was your hometown, when you left Enriqueta?
Enriqueta: Oh! It was beautiful, there were many parks and places to visit, but there was too
much traffic in downtown!

Frank: Were there enough signals to help control the traffic jam?
Enriqueta: Yes, there were; but there were too many business located there! and cars, pollute
the air. Now there is a lot of noise and too much smog.

Frank: The city should prohibit traffic in downtown to reduce pollution and people should use
more bicycles and fewer cars.
Enriqueta: People can also use the subway.
Frank: How many stations are there?
Enriqueta: There are two train stations in downtown; one of them is close to the mall where
you can find all kind of stores. It even has the biggest movie theater you can image. Many
people visit it.

Frank: In my home town there was only one Movie Theater it is also well visited by every body
in my town. But my town is a small one!!!

Traffic jam: long line of cars that can not move

COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS


Countable nouns are for things we can count. They usually have a singular and
plural form.
Example:

a dog - two dogs


a horse - ten horses
a man - six men
a shop - the shops
an idea - some ideas

We use many to indicate a large number of items, and without counting.


We use too... to increase the number
WE USE HOW MANY to make a question.

There were many cars in my city.


There are many buildings in downtown.
There are many houses for rent.
There are many dogs in the park.
There are too many Chinese restaurants in Mexicali.
There are too many boys at the movies.
How many taco stands are in Mexicali?
We use A FEW to reduce the number for countable nouns.

There are a few bicycles in the neighborhood


There are a few cats in the park
There are a few Japanese restaurants
There are a few museums

Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count


Example: tea, sugar, water, air, rice, dust.
They are used with a singular verb.
They usually do not have a plural form.
They are often the names for abstract ideas or
qualities.
We can not say: sugars, angers, knowledges
We use too to increase them

WE USE HOW MUCH to make a question.


How much sugar is there?
How much butter is left?
WE USE MUCH TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
There is much traffic in my city
There is much pollution in my city.
There is much public transportation.

72

Continuation.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
They are often the names for abstract ideas or qualities. Examples
of common uncountable nouns:
Money
Happiness
Research
Safety
Knowledge

Furniture
Sadness
Evidence
Beauty
Traffic

We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of one


of these nouns, use a word or expression like:

Some, a little, a lot of, a piece of, plenty, etc.


Some money
Some happiness
A little knowledge

a piece of furniture
a lot of evidence

Use ANY for questions or negative statements. For both


Countable and Uncountable nouns
Was there any happiness on his face?
Was there any evidence of the crime?
Is there any money left?
Is there any car outside your house?
Are there any complete windows?
NEGATIVE
There isnt any complete window.
There wasnt any bread left.
There werent any dogs in the park

Introduction
The student will practice in everyday life when is he or she expressing, in a correct way after
study understand the use of; Word order in questions; In The English language there are no
different forms for subjects and objects. To keep subject and object apart however, we have to
stick to the word order.
In questions, the word order subject-verbs-objects is the same as in affirmative sentences. The
only thing that's different is that you usually have to put the auxiliary verb example: (main verb be)
before the subject interrogative are put at the beginning of the sentence.

Jennifer Lopez
Born July 24 1969 Jennifer Lopez, she of the infamous buttocks, is now one of the Bronxs
biggest exports. Starting her career as a dancer and actress appearing on American TV shows
such as Living Color and Hotel Malibu Jennifer was nominated for a Golden Globe for her first
film role in 1998 comedy Selena.
With a change of name came super stardom as, in 2001, JLo was released, featuring hit singles
Play, Love Dont Cost A Thing as well as
giving birth to remixes of Im Real and Aint

rappers such as Ja Rule gave her a

(Ben Affleck), getting arrested with
P Diddy (another ex)
and appearing in films such as Maid
in Manhattan and The
Wedding Planner, Jennifer managed to
turn herself in to a
corporation with a range of clothes,
perfumes and a production company to her name. She has also turned her hand to modeling,
most notably appearing in a fabulous campaign for Louis Vuitton.
More recently the one time diva seems to have settled down, dedicating time to her new
husband Marc Antony (the Latino pair married in June 2004) and releasing her latest album
Rebirth which, although a commercial flop, signified a new direction for the singer. Despite this
disappointment it seems that JLos success is set to run and run although whether her future
lies in singing, acting or fashion remains to be seen.

After reading JLos biography, write down with your own words, what
she used to do in her life.
