to ask about the quantity of a countable too small or too amorphous to be counted
noun, you ask "How many?" combined with (liquids, powders, gases, etc.).

GRAMMAR

1. When do we use much and when many?

• much: uncountable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)


• many: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)

Examples:

• How much money have you got?


• How many dollars have you got?
In informal English these questions are often answered with a lot of, lots of. There is not much
difference between the two phrases.

2. When do we use a little/little and when a few/few?


• a little: non countable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
• a few: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
• He has a little money left.
• He has a few dollars left.
We use few and little without the article a to point out a more negative meaning.
Examples:
• A few students at our school know this. (There are some students who know it.)
• Few students know this. (It is almost unknown.)
• Some/Any
• Utilizamos some y any, cuando queremos expresar una cantidad indeterminada
al referirnos a un sustantivo, pero no queremos decir exactamente cuál es esa cantidad.
Al usar some y any estamos expresando la idea de “algunos pero no muchos”. Tanto

Guía Metodológica-Primavera 2024 6


some como any se utilizan acompañando a nombres contables en plural y nombres
incontables.
• Some: se utiliza en frases afirmativas e interrogativas. Aunque en el caso de las
interrogativas se utiliza principalmente para pedir o para ofrecer algo.
– Some people in the office prefer to have lunch outside.
– Would you like some coffee?
• Any: aunque su sentido es igual al de some, any se usa principalmente en
oraciones interrogativas y negativas, aunque hay algunos casos en los que es posible
usar any en oraciones afirmativas.

READING
Food
Read the passage below and answer the questions on
the next page.

Food is an essential part of our lives. We all need food to survive as it provides us with
energy and nutrients for healthy growth and development. Eating a well-balanced diet can
also help us stay fit and strong.
There are many different types of foods that we can choose from when choosing what to
eat. Fruits and vegetables are great for providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber to our diets.
Grains such as rice, oats, and wheat provide carbohydrates which give us energy. Protein-
rich foods like eggs, beans, fish, and meat help with growth and repair of tissues in the
body. Dairy products contain calcium which is needed for strong bones. Eating a variety
of foods is important to get all the essential nutrients that our bodies need. The Dietary
Guidelines for Americans recommend filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables, one-
fourth of your plate with grains, and one-fourth with lean protein sources like fish or poultry.
Eating a diverse selection of foods also provides us with different flavors and textures,
which can make eating more enjoyable. It is important to remember that food choices
should be based on moderation and variety. Too much of any one type of food can lead
to health problems like obesity or malnutrition. Eating in moderation and making healthy
choices helps us stay healthy and happy. Making sure to eat a balanced diet and get
regular physical activity will help us stay fit and healthy.

Guía Metodológica-Primavera 2024 10

READING
Read the text about nutrition.
Food supplies you with energy, and with the materials your body needs for growing,
repairing wounds, and staying healthy. Energy is needed for everything that goes on
in the body. Your muscles use energy when you move, and your brain uses energy
when you think. You use energy even when you are completely relaxed or asleep.
This energy keeps your body warm. Carbohydrates are our main source of energy.
They are in sugary food such as sweets, honey, jam and in starchy food such as
bread, potatoes, and rice. The other 13 energy-rich nutrients are fats. Fatty foods
include butter and cream, which come from animals, and oils from plants such as
olive oil, sunflower oil, or maize seed oil. Fats can supply twice as much energy as
carbohydrates. But instead of using them directly, the body keeps fats as energy
store. Fat is mostly stored under the skin. Oxford Children´s Encyclopedia Vol 3.

READING
Read carefully the following text.

Jeniffer

My family and I live on the tenth floor in an apartment building downtown. The
building is next to a supermarket and across from a bank. There are two small
bedrooms in our home and there is a large living room. I really like our living room
because you can see all the city from our window. Also, there is a comfortable sofa
and two chairs where we can watch TV together. There is a coffee table in front of
the sofa and there are some flowers on it. There aren’t any windows in our kitchen,
but it’s clean and modern. This is great because sometimes I like to cook dinner for
my family. Our home is located downtown, so it’s a little noisy, but I like it.

Eduard

I live outside the city in a large house with my family. There aren’t many buildings
near our home, but there is a small store across the street. We’re lucky because we
have a large yard behind our house, and so we also have a small garden and a few
pet rabbits that we keep. I like my bedroom because it’s large and it has a large
window, but I have to share it with my younger brother. We have three bedrooms in
our home. In the living room, there is a lot of furniture – there are three big
bookshelves and there are several chairs, so when friends come to visit everyone
has a place to sit. I think our home is great!

PRESENT SIMPLE VS. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE
GRAMMAR
We use the present simple for things that are permanent or are in general and
the present progressive for things that may change or are temporary.
Compare:

Permanent Temporary

Simon lives in Birmingham. Simon is living with his friends for now.
James works at a bank. James is working at home today.
We walk to work. We're walking in the park.
I speak English. I am speaking English right now.

Verbs that we don't use in the Progressive Tense


Another difference is that there are some verbs in English that we don't use in the
progressive tense. These include:
Belong - Cost - Hate - Have (possession) - Hear - Know - Like - Love - Need - Own -
Remember - Seem - Smell - Understand – Want
