ORDER OF ADJECTIVES
When more than one adjective comes before a noun, the adjectives are normally in a particular order.
Adjectives which describe opinions or attitudes (e.g. amazing) usually come first, before more neutral, factual
ones (e.g. red):
She was wearing an amazing red coat. 
Not: … red amazing coat
If we don’t want to emphasize any one of the adjectives, the most usual sequence of adjectives is:

33
FREQUENCY ADVERBS.
We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence


100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m.
90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.
80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.
70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.

DEVELOPMENT
Nouns
A noun is a word that names something: either a person, animal, place, or thing. They are
divided into singular and plural and these are the rules to form them.
Rule Examples
1.- Many English plural nouns can be formed cat- cats
by adding –s to the end.
teacher- teachers
school- schools
2.- If the noun ends in –s, -ss, -x, -ch or –sh, we tax- taxes Exeptions
add –es.
kiss- kisses house- houses
watch- watches tomato- tomatoes
3.- When the noun ends in consonant – y, we candy- candies Attention
change the y for i and add –es.
baby- babies toy- toys
city- cities ray- rays
4.- If the noun ends with -f or -fe, the f is often wife- wives
changed to -ve before adding the -s to form the wolf- wolves
plural version. knife- knives

5.- Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so man- men

36
It’s best to memorize these irregular plurals. fish- fish
tooth- teeth

feet__________ play__________ dance_________

Countable Nouns vs. Uncountable Nouns

Countable nouns are nouns which can be counted, and can be used with a/an, the, some, any, a few,
many, or a number.
Example: Here is a cat. (Cat is singular and—obviously—countable).

Uncountable nouns are nouns that come in a state or quantity which is impossible to count; liquids
are uncountable, as are things that act like liquids (sand, air), also grains, spices and money. They
are always considered to be singular, and can be used with some, any, a little, and much.
Example: - How much is it? – It’s $20 dollars. (Money is an uncountable noun).

II. Write if the noun is countable (C) or uncountable (NC).


soda_____ store_____ orange_____

much and How many.
