Plural and uncountable nouns with and without the. We don’t use the before a noun when we mean something in general: - I love flowers. (not 'the flowers’) (flowers=flowers in general, nor a particular group of flowers) I'm afraid of dogs. Doctors are paid more than teachers. We say most people / most dogs etc. (not 'the most „.’): -Most people like George. (not ‘the most people’ We say the ,„ when we mean something in particular: - I like your garden. The flowers are beautiful, (not "Flowers are …) (the flowers = the flowers in your garden, not flowers in general) The difference between ‘something in general’ and ‘something in particular’ not always very clear. Study these sentences: - I like working with people. (= people in general) - I like working with people who are lively.

Countable nouns with a/an. Countable nouns are, for example: dog umbrella job suggestion girl Countable nouns are things we cars count. We can make them plural: two dogs six jobs some girls many suggestions Before singular countable nouns you can use a/an: - That's a good suggestion. - Do you need an umbrella? You cannot use singular countable nouns alone (without a/the/my etc.) - I’m looking for a job. (not ‘I’m looking for job’) - Be careful of the dog. (not ‘Be careful of dog’) We also use some with plural countable nouns. Some = a number of/a few of (but we don’t know or say exactly how many)? - I’ve seen some good films recently. Do not use some when you are talking about things in general: I love bananas, (not ‘some bananas’) Sometimes you can use some or leave it out: There arc (some) eggs in the fridge if you’re hungry. You have to use some when you mean some but not all/not many etc. - Some children learn very quickly, (but not all children)
