FEW / LITTLE


We use few and little to suggest a small quantity or amount of something.
Few (not many) is used with plural countable nouns. Example: There are few people in the classroom.
Little (not much) is used with uncountable nouns. Example: There is little milk in the fridge.
While Few and Little usually have negative meanings, especially when used with very. A few (some) and A little (some) normally convey a positive idea. Examples:
I have a few friends living in London. (Countable noun)
There is a little milk in the fridge. (Uncountable noun) 


Write some sentences with much, many, a lot of, few, little, a few and a little.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

Image
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence in place of a person’s or thing’s name or description, particularly after the subject has already been introduced to avoid repetition. Subject pronouns usually come before the main verb.   These are the subject pronouns we use in English: IT (third singular person) is normally used when we refer to an object, thing, animal or idea (not people). When they are plural we use THEY (third plural person). Examples: The puppy is on the couch. It (the puppy) is so cute. / The puppies are on the couch. They (the puppies) are so cute. We use IT also when we talk about the time, weather or temperature. It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock) It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.) It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now

SEASONS OF THE YEAR

Seasons are created by two events: the rotation of Earth that gives us day and night and the rotation of the Earth around the sun that gives us years.   The movement of the Earth creates changes in light and darkness, and in temperature; thus causing different seasons.   In areas between polar and tropical regions, temperature, day length and rainfall change through the year. There are four seasons in a year with different kind of weather: spring, summer, autumn/ fall, winter. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun. Winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun.          What's your favourite season of the year? Why do you like (season)? What do you usually do in summer time?
