How much / many?; some / any; line dancing

Hello everybody!!

How are you? I hope you are enjoying the weekend, but apparently it is going to rain a lot... (fingers crossed!!).

Last week we talked about Easter holidays and we had a special activity with Lauren and Chanelle, who prepared a quiz about the differences between Canada and the United States. I hope you learnt a lot!!!

We also learnt a little bit of line dancing. Here you have the video so that you can show your family and friends! :) It's a bit old, but it's the easiest dance we could find!






In the rest of classroom time, we talked about healthy habits and about facts and myths of drinking water. We also learnt the difference between:

• How much...? How many...? Click here to revise this.
• Too much / Too many
• Much / Many

Remember that much is used for uncountable nouns, and many for countable nouns. For both of them (countable and uncountable), you can also use some (+), any (-, ?), quite a lot of, a lot of.

For the differences between some and any, please have a look at the following tables (taken from www.theyellowpencil.com). You can practise here and with the second exercise here (ONLY the second).

In the last example, they ask the question with "have got". Remember that we use "have" with the auxiliary "do", like any other verb: Do you have any milk? / Do you have any water? / You don't have any sugar.

Finally, you had to write the shopping list for four different events: a picnic for 8; a romantic dinner for 2; your birthday part and a barbecue for 5. We learnt a lot of vocabulary here! :)

For homework, you have to write a postcard (please, have a look at the model on page 73 in your books. Write between 100 and 120 words; deadline: 4th May (Basic E) / 5th May (Basic D) at 23.59h.
Basic level D, please, finish Grammar Bank 7B too.

Have a great bank holiday!
:)
