Área: Idioma extranjero Asignatura: Inglés Curso: 9 - _____ Nombre del Estudiante:_________________________________________________________________________

Nombre del Docente: Sulay Jennifer Rodríguez Bersinger Tema: Food, Countable and Uncountable nouns

Indicador de desempeño: El estudiante puede diferenciar los sustantivos contables y no contables en inglés.

OVERWIEW Sustantivos: Contables e Incontables Podríamos definir a los sustantivos como aquellas palabras que utilizamos para identificar a personas, objetos, conceptos e ideas del mundo que nos rodea. Dentro del idioma inglés podemos clasificarlos de la siguiente manera: Sustantivos Contables - (Countable Nouns): Son aquellos que se pueden "contar", es decir que es posible establecer su número en unidades. Por ejemplo: a

chair (una silla) - two chairs (dos sillas) Los sustantivos contables tienen forma plural, se pueden utilizar números delante de ellos para expresar su cantidad

y también artículos indeterminados (A - AN). Sustantivos Incontables - (Uncountable Nouns): Se denominan de esta manera aquellos sustantivos que no se puede determinar su número en unidades. Por

ejemplo: milk (leche) - wood (madera) - snow (nieve) En algunos de estos casos es posible contarlos si se toma como referencia el envase del producto, por ejemplo:

a bottle of wine ( una botella de vino ) - a glass of milk (un vaso de leche) En el caso de los sustantivos incontables no se puede formar el plural, ya que no es posible decir "harinas", "leches",

etc. Tampoco se puede expresar su cantidad anteponiendo un número y mucho menos utilizar delante artículos indeterminados (A - AN).
