  • Dear teachers, How do you explain countable and uncountable nouns?

    Give examples.


    Best answer

    Can you count water, rice, sugar? Can you say I drunk 3 waters or ate 5 rices? Of course no 😉 So things you can't count are uncountable. However, since you can say I have 2 brothers, 3 cats, or 5 cars, so those are countable. But of course we can count the uncountable by adding measurements, like 2 glasses of water, 1 kilo of rice and a cup of tea. Hope it's clear now. Let us know if you have any questions ✌🏻

  • Difference between Creak and creek?
    Best answer

    Both words are homophones(words that sound the same but have different meanings). Creak: a noun or a verb meaning a squeaking or grating sound that can be linked to an object being worn out. An example in a sentence would be: I tried to sneak into the house late last night and the old floorboards creaked under my feet. You can also use the word "creak" to show how an object moved, "creaking along", meaning it moved at a slow gentle pace, as would a worn-out or old object. Example: The show creaked along to a boring and uninteresting end. Creek: a stream of water similar to a river but much smaller. In a sentence: The boys waded in the creek. When used in an idiom: "Being up a creek without a paddle" means "you are in trouble and have no solution in sight".
