ACTIVITIES
 Play a noun game: Pupils work with talk partner(s). On a piece of paper get pupils to write the alphabet (A-Z) down
the left-hand margin.
 When ready, give pupils a set time depending on level of pupils (e.g. 3 minutes) to write a noun for each letter of the
PRE-LESSON
alphabet.
 Tell pupils they get 1 mark for each correct countable noun and 2 marks for each correct uncountable noun.
 When ready, collect responses and pupils add up their marks.

 Ask pupils to give you examples of countable (car, woman etc.) and uncountable nouns (milk, pasta, etc.)
 Ask pupils to read through the example and draw their attention to the words in bold.
 Explain to pupils that some nouns (light, hair, glass, etc.) can be either countable or uncountable but with a different
meaning.
 Refer pupils to the Grammar Reference (pp. 158-159).
 Ask pupils to find examples of countable and uncountable nouns in the text (countable: charities, organizations,
trend, members, things, box, etc. uncountable: money, help, food, etc.).
