Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The 'Counting Things' Pattern
In this story, we see how to use numbers to describe things. For an A2 learner, the most important part is knowing when a word stays the same and when it changes.
1. The Rule of 'S' When we have more than one, we usually add an -s to the end of the word.
- 1 gun 3 guns
- 1 house 2 houses
- 1 car 3 cars
- 1 person 3 people (Special word! We don't say 'persons' here)
2. The 'No-S' Zone Some words are like 'water' or 'powder'. We don't count them with 'a' or 'an'. We use the word as it is.
- Cash (You don't say 'three cashes')
- Meth/Cocaine (These are treated as a mass/group)
Quick Look: Money
- dollars (Plural)
- Cash (No plural)
