 III. COUNT AND UNCOUNT NOUNS, SOME vs. ANY
Los count nouns son sustantivos que se pueden contar por unidad, es decir pueden ser
singular o plural. Ejemplos: an apple – 4 apples / a chair – 2 chairs.

Los uncountable nouns, en cambio no se pueden contar por unidad y tienen una sola
forma. Ejemplos: some bread, some water, some milk

Some y any son determiners que van delante de los sustantivos count en plural o
uncount. Generalmente, usamos some en oraciones afirmativas y any en oraciones
negativas o preguntas. Ejemplos:

● There is some bread in the kitchen. There are some apples on

the table.
● There isn´t any milk in the refrigerator. There aren´t any
students in the classroom.
● Do you need any sugar? Do you need any
potatoes?

V. SIMPLE PAST O SIMPLE PAST TENSE

Con el simple past nos referiremos a eventos pasados. En inglés, se consideran dos
tipos de verbos: los regulares y los irregulares que se llaman así precisamente por
su forma en el pasado.

Los verbos regulares forman el pasado aumentándoles el sufijo ed. Los irregulares
en cambio, adoptan diferentes formas. Ejemplo: el pasado de go es went; el de
speak es spoke. Esta vez usaremos la misma lista que tenemos en VIII y
trabajaremos sus respectivas formas en pasado. Pero antes veremos cómo se
forman las oraciones afirmativas, negativas e interrogativas en el pasado.

VI. EL SONIDO DEL SUFIJO ED EN REGULAR PAST

El sufijo ed que se añade a los verbos regulares para convertirlos en pasado, tiene 3
diferentes tipos de pronunciación según sea el sonido final del verbo. Y se convierte
en sonidos /t/, /d/, / id /en pasado. Ejemplos:

BASE FORM OF THE VERB VERB IN THE PAST PRONUNCIATION

Look Looked /lukt/ /t/

Listen Listened /lísend/ /d/

Need Needed /níded/ /id/

● Cuando el sonido final del verbo es sordo al aumentar el ed, esta terminación
suena /t/ como en looked.
● Cuando el sonido final del verbo es vibrado, el sufijo ed tiene sonido /d/ como
en listened.
● Cuando el sonido final del verbo es /d/ o /t/, el ed suena /id/ como en needed.
