Unit 12: Fabulous Food

Lesson A: Eating habits

Countable VS Uncountable Nouns
Los sustantivos contables son aquellos que podemos pluralizar: (an apple = 2 apples, a cake= seven cakes)
Los no contables, son los que son imposibles de pluralizar: ( a water? X incorret, Some water = correct!)

la primer columna muestra las formas de pluralizar los nouns: generalmente solo se le agrega S al final: Apple --- Apples
pero en otros casos cambia, Atencion !

Lesson B: What's for dinner?

Types of food
                Fruits             














                   Meat                                                   Seafood                        










Would you like VS Would you like to

Would you like +  countable or uncountable noun
example: 
Would you like some milk?
Would you like 3 cookies?

Would you like to +  verb + compl

I dont like any vegetables on my pizza. but I also like a 4 cheese pizza with no toppings at all. I usually eat it twice a month. My favorite restaurant is Domino's.
