NOUN PART 2

thank a lot for spending your precious time visiting my blog. for this week. i am going to proceed with the description of NOUN.

during lecture, i was exposed to another branches of noun. they are, countable and uncountable noun.

dr. Kemboja did explain during lecture all about countable noun(count noun) and uncountable noun(uncount noun).

so, how can we differentiate between countable and uncountable noun?

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

uncountable noun is neither one, singular or plural.

e.g : ships (i can see ships in distance)

• cannot use a/an
• do not use numbers with an uncountable noun
• not three foods.

water is neither singular nor plural, therefore, we can use 

 -some water, water.

-much coffee

-few sandwiches

-abstract noun (fun, sleep, thirst)

COUNTABLE NOUNS

countable nouns can be singular or plural

e.g:  do you like these photos? (photos are singular, however we can count them)

        i have a sister ( a refers to one person, thus it is countable)

• a/an or one goes only for singular noun

apart from that, there are also nouns that can count and uncount. to be honest, i have never realise it before. or maybe it is my lack knowledge, well who knows. i have prepared some examples of nouns that can be countable and uncountable .

NOUNS THAT CAN BE COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE

• a potato or potato?

a potato/potatoes- countable

potato - countable (mashed potato)

• a sport or sport ?

* rugby is a sport - countable

*do you like sport? - uncountable

well, that's all from lecture (noun 2), check out what was the interesting activity during tutoriar...

methods :

firstly, whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl...keep whisking until they mix together ( fluffy). 

after that, pour a cup of water, followed by a cup of condensed milk.  next, you can put the wheat flour into the bowl and put some baking powder and not to mention the cocoa powder. you can put them as much as you want to.  next,you can put the mixture in steamer. wait about 15 minutes before it is ready.
