Hello, my name is Saquirima. I attend Samora Machel Secondary School. Let me tell you about
the importance of animals in our lives. My grandfather told me and I witnessed it when I visited
a farm in Cuamba.
I did not know that many things we eat and wear come from animals and trees. A cow produces
the milk that we all enjoy in the morning for morning for breakfast. Butter, cheese and yoghurt
come from milk. A cow can also give us meat if you are not a vegetarian like me. A cow does
not produce only food, but also some beautiful items we use and wear every day, like belts,
shoes, school bags or earnings. Well, where I come from cows are used as means of transport to
carry crops, water and people around the village.

● Countable nouns
Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural
form. The singular form can use the determiner "a" or "an". If you want to ask about the quantity
of a countable noun, you ask "How many?" combined with the plural countable noun.
Examples
1. She has three dogs.
2. I own a house.
3. I would like two books please.
4. How many friends do you have?
● Uncountable nouns
Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be the
names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous
to be counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb.
They usually do not have a plural form.
We use some with uncountable nouns in positive sentences and any with negatives.
1. There's some milk in the fridge.
2. There isn't any coffee.
Exercise - 3
Decide whether these nouns are countable (C) or uncountable (U)
1. The children are playing in the garden. ______

7. We need some glue to fix this vase. ___________
8. The waiters in this restaurant are very professional. _____________
9. My father drinks two big glasses of water every morning. ____________
10. The bread my mother prepares is delicious. ____________
Section IV - Quantifiers
A quantifier is a word or phrase which is used before a noun to indicate the amount or quantity:
'Some', 'many', 'a lot of' and 'a few' are examples of quantifiers.
● Some, any
When we want to refer to a plural noun or an uncountable noun, without giving a specific
quantity, we use ‘some’ and ‘any’. We use ‘some’ in affirmatives and ‘any’ in questions and
negatives. As is common in English, there is an exception to this rule. When we make requests
and offers, we usually use ‘some’ instead of ‘any’.
