      Silvia Kerkelova Hi Silvia, thanks for your message. :)
      All of your answers are correct. Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson!
      A very minor spelling mistake: "coffe" --> "coffee" but everything else is perfect.
      Keep up the good work.
      Best wishes, Andrew

Here are my answers: - There are a few avocados;- There is a little water;- There is a little baking powder; and- There are a few orangesI am very excited to hear my score and thank you for your help in teaching good grammar.

      Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are some comments and corrections:
      There is a little water near my desk. --> correct
      There are a few biscuits on my desk. --> correct
      There are a few books on may desk. --> correct (but spelling is "*my*" )
      There is a litte coffee and coffee mate (loool) near my desk. --> correct ( "Coffee mate" is great! I used to buy it a lot when I was a student. It's a practical alternative to fresh milk!)
      "Has a few mistakes in my sentence?" -> "Are there any mistakes in my sentences?" OR "Do my sentences have any mistakes?" OR even better "Do my sentences *contain* any mistakes?"

    Hello Andrew. How are you doing? I hope you're doing great. I have 2 questions, please: I want to understand the accurate meaning of this sentence and why 'few of ' not 'a few of ' . " Few of the lecturers were at all interesting " .
    Could you please help me out.
    The second question: I know that it's wrong to use "some" in this sentence: " Water is composed of some hydrogen and some oxygen." I want you to tell me a good reason why it's wrong to say that so that I can tell my high school students.
    And thank you in a advance.

    Hi Andrew,
    So, it's wrong to say (there's a few slices of bread)? Especially if the bread is sliced, it can be countable... right? I am just curious

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  9 років тому +1

      Jacquéline Ramirez We would say "there *are* a few slices of bread." because slices = a countable noun in the plural.Or, we must say "There's some bread" or "there's a little bread" because bread alone is always uncountable.

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  7 років тому

      Yes, that is correct. Very good. "loaf" is a unit of bread and it is "countable" and in the plural it is "loaves."
      We can also say "There are many *slices* of bread."

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  8 років тому

      +Sveta Serdyuk Hello and thanks for the comment and question.
      "There are a few people at the party" - Yes, this is correct.
      "There are a few scissors in the box." - No, in English we say "a pair of scissors", therefore in the plural we can say ""There are a few pairs of scissors in the box."

      there is a few apples.
      2 there is a few oranges. --> there *are* a few oranges. (the verb must be *plural* if it is a countable noun in the plural)
      3 there is few peas. --> there *are* a few peas (the verb must be *plural* if it is a countable noun in the plural)
      4 there is few to tomes. --> there *are* a few tomatoes (the verb must be *plural* if it is a countable noun in the plural)
      5 there is a little curry. --> correct
      6 there is a little water. --> correct
      7 there is a little milk. --> correct
      There is a little tea. --> correct
      There is a little cake. --> correct
      (Please, in the future write each answer on a separate line. It is easier for me to read and correct.)
