winterana97 Hello Ana and thanks for doing the exercise. I am very pleased to say that all of your answers are perfectly correct. Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson. :) Best wishes, Andrew
1. There is a little oat meal 2. there are few bananas 3. There is a little juice 4. There are a few mango These all my answers. Thank you very very much Sir I learn a lot from you...
I was a little confused about this before but now it was all clear. Thank you for this video. It was additionally added to my learning. ^.^ I learned also about "too many" - for countable nouns and "too much" - for uncountable nouns. :)
i'm bilingual english french ,what you're saying makes absolute sense to me but i always find it hard to explain to someone in french the rules . For me it just is that way i don't question it or question myself , i guess its because english was overwhelmingly predominant at home ,french was relegated to school thus with one i had a more scholar approach and the other was more free style immersive
ladyevenstar22 Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is sometimes not easy trying to explain the rules of our own language because we have learned it intuitively! Best wishes Andrew
Hello Sir,Thanks lots of !! I am regularly watching your videos. this is only my way to learn English grammar I am geeing stuck order of determiner to be placed in the sentence. sharing few examples. 1.Four- times the cost; Determiner four -times and the ,there is no Of between them. 2.Three- quarter Of the participants ; Determiner Three- quarter and The ,Of placed between them 3.Some Of the girls /some Of my friends ; Determiner Some , the and my : Of is placed between them. 4.Some more juice ;some and more quantifiers Which are same level quantifiers but there is no words (may be Of etc..)placed between them. I want to understand what is the rule to put multiple determiners (pre, central and post determiners) before to noun.
Lol! After lessons with USA native speakers, British pronunciation is quite weird) I`ve remembered the school when we were taught exactly the same pronunciation) Awesome lesson that refreshing my memory)
Dear Andrew, I like and often watch your lessons of English grammar. Thank you so much for great lessons. But I would have an objection to the subtitles in this lesson. Your lesson isn't subtitled correctly. It is a pity, because it is a great lesson. All the best. Aleksandra
+Crown Academy of English In my cupboard, there are a few cups and there is a little dust on them so I only need a little time to clean a few things with a few good brushes.
1. There is a little sugar in the dish. 2. There are a few apples on the table. 3. There is a little fish sauce in the pot. There are a few pens in the pencil case.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the class !!! Here are my answers: There are a few fishes. There is a little orange juice. There are a few strawberries. There is a little cake.
Flavio Caldas Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are some comments and small corrections: There are a few fishes. --> "fish" is irregular because it is the same in the plural. -> "There are a few *fish.* " There is a little orange juice. --> correct There are a few strawberries. --> correct There is a little cake.--> correct Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson. Best wishes, Andrew
Your viedos are really nice :) I have a question, if bread is uncountable , I'm supposed to say "I bought a little bread", right? But it is correct to say "I bought a few loafs of bread"? The same rule is with juice/bottles chocolate/bar of chocolate etc.?
There is a little suger in the bowl There is a little juice in the jar There is a little flour in the dish There are a few onions in the box There are a few tangerines in the plate There are a few salt in the soup
There is a little sugar in the cupboard. There are a few biscuits in the cupboard. There is a little oil in the cupboard. There is a little salt in the cupboard.
Gabriele De Rosa This is similar to when we are using" a lot of "after there are and before the countable nouns in positive sentences. We can't use many or much in positive sentences generally, thats why we have to use a lot of or a few or a little but it depends on the noun is countable or uncountable.
There is a little water near my desk. There are a few biscuits on my desk. There are a few books on may desk. There is a litte coffee and coffee mate (loool) near my desk. I am sorry cause I described my room, not my cupboard. Has a few mistakes in my sentence?
Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are some comments and corrections: There is a little water near my desk. --> correct There are a few biscuits on my desk. --> correct There are a few books on may desk. --> correct (but spelling is "*my*" ) There is a litte coffee and coffee mate (loool) near my desk. --> correct ( "Coffee mate" is great! I used to buy it a lot when I was a student. It's a practical alternative to fresh milk!) "Has a few mistakes in my sentence?" -> "Are there any mistakes in my sentences?" OR "Do my sentences have any mistakes?" OR even better "Do my sentences *contain* any mistakes?" Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson. Best wishes, Andrew
There is a little coffee. There is a little chocolate. There are a little rice. There is a little tea. There are a few cars. There are a few bottles of beer. There are a few potatoes. Thanks Andrew!
Yes, exactly. Both of them are correct because we can use few and a few before Countable nouns and we can use little or a little before Uncountable nouns. 😊😊
Hello Andrew. How are you doing? I hope you're doing great. I have 2 questions, please: I want to understand the accurate meaning of this sentence and why 'few of ' not 'a few of ' . " Few of the lecturers were at all interesting " . Could you please help me out. The second question: I know that it's wrong to use "some" in this sentence: " Water is composed of some hydrogen and some oxygen." I want you to tell me a good reason why it's wrong to say that so that I can tell my high school students. And thank you in a advance.
Hi. I recommend you watch this video to understand the difference between "few" and "a few" -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iA4eIproIMM.html Andrew
There is a little cereal in the bag There is a little ground barley in the container There are a few cups in the cupboard There is a little olive oil in the cupboard Really clear. Thank you for your video.
Hi Andrew There is a little butter. There is a little flour. There is a little sugar. There is a littel cereal. There are a few bananas. There are a few limes. Thank you.
Hi Andrew, I have a question suppose we have 3 or 4 apples on the table as we can see it's countable and it's obvious. Why can't we use some instead of "a" because as I know a always make something singular like what if we say just few and not add "a" Ex. A pencil, means one pencil in this case it is little different to me.
Lola Hey Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are the corrections: 1.There is a little chips. -> "There are a few chips." (countable) 2.There is a little coffee. -> Correct 3.There are a few snickers. -> Correct. 4.There are a few candies - > "There is a little candy." (Candy is uncountable.) Candy is an American word. In British English we say "sweets" (countable) So in British English we say: "There are a few sweets." You did very well. You have understood the lesson. You just need to learn which nouns are countable and uncountable. Best wishes Andrew
good man what i would like to ask about is are there some cases that we can use the countable nouns or rules in the place of uncountable because, you mentioned in your talk once you gave examble about the wine you said wine often comes unconutable and thanks i hope you would answer
+gopi krishna All of your sentences are correct. Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson. Don't forget that all new sentences must start with a CAPITAL letter. It is very important in English. Best wishes, Andrew
This method is great to put the answers in the comments section. 1- there are a few Apples. 2- I have a little Apple juice. 3- there are a few Bananas. 4- there is a little rice. Thanks
