The present continuous is made from the present tense of the verb be and the –ing

We use the present continuous to talk about:

Structure:

AFFIRMATIVE FORM

Countable Nouns

Anything that can be counted, whether singular – a dog, a house, a friend,

etc. or plural – a few books, lots of oranges, etc. is a countable noun. The
following countable noun examples will help you to see the difference
between countable and uncountable nouns. Notice that singular verbs are
used with singular countable nouns, while plural verbs are used with plural
countable nouns.

1. There are at least twenty Italian restaurants in Little Italy.

2. Megan took a lot of photographs when she went to the Grand Canyon.
3. Your book is on the kitchen table.
4. How many candles are on that birthday cake?
5. There’s a big brown dog running around the neighborhood.

Uncountable Noun

Anything that cannot be counted is an uncountable noun. Even though

uncountable nouns are not individual objects, they are always singular and
one must always use singular verbs in conjunction with uncountable
nouns. Notice that singular verbs are always used with uncountable nouns.

1. There is no more water in the pond.

2. I need to find information about Pulitzer Prize winners.
3. You seem to have a high level of intelligence.
4. Let’s get rid of the garbage.
 24

THERE IS/ THERE ARE

There is: singular

There are: plural

Examples:

There is a cat on the porch.

There are many opportunities to learn at this company.

How much? - How many?

When we want to know the quantity or amount of something, we ask questions starting
with How much and How many.

HOW MUCH ...? - (Quantity)

How much is used with uncountable nouns.

HOW MUCH + UNCOUNTABLE NOUN

• How much money did you spend?

• How much sugar would you like in your coffee?
• How much paper will I need?
• How much milk is in the fridge?
• How much traffic was there on the way to work?

If the verb To Be is used with an uncountable noun, it is in singular form (= IS or WAS

etc.)

HOW MUCH ...? - (Price)

How much can also be used when we want to know the PRICE of something.
 25

In this case, we can use How much with countable nouns (both singular and plural
nouns).

• How much is that painting?

• How much are those shoes?
• How much did your jacket cost?
• How much is the dress on display in the window?
• How much will it cost me?
• How much does it cost ?

HOW MANY ...? - (Quantity)

How many is used when we want to know the QUANTITY of something.

It is only used with plural countable nouns.

HOW MANY + PLURAL NOUN

• How many days are there in January?

• How many people work in your company?
• How many cousins do you have?
• How many books did you buy?
• How many countries are there in the world?
• How many students are in the class right now?
• How many chairs are there in this room?
• How many pieces of chocolate would you like?

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.

Examples:

There are some books on the desk

He's got only a few dollars.

Count nouns

Are there many restaurants?

Yes, there are a lot

Yes, there are a few

No, there aren´t any

No there are none.

 26

Noncount nouns

Is there much crime?

Yes, there´s a lot.

Yes, there´s a little

No, there isn´t much

No, there isn’t any

No. there’s none.
