1. A Chris Massy Story A tragic winterball ……. By: Manjima Sarkar & Gowri Swamy

2. Chris: Mom! I need some moneys to buy some flower for a girl! Mom: How much moneys do you need? Chris: I need a little bit of moneys, so about $15. Dad: Son, you can never go wrong with a roses Chris: Dad, do girls like the pink roses? Mom: Okay! Corrections: moneys—money flower—flowers These are concrete nouns and are therefore countable. Corrections: Both “the” and “a” should not be in the sentences. They are both modified by the countable and uncountable nouns in these examples. Corrections: a little bit of flowers—some This is because the phrase is preceded by an uncountable noun.

3. Friend: She has Mr. Claus fourth period! Cashier: That should not be a difficulties! Chris: What is the fourth period classes Massy has? Chris: I need a dozen rose! Friends: We have plenty of guys on the football team! Chris: Guys! I am asking Massy to winter ball and I need enough guys to hold up the poster! Corrections: classes—class Class should be in its singular form Corrections: dozen rose—dozen roses difficulties—difficulty A dozen roses is correct because it is a concrete countable noun. And difficulty is correct because because the context is speaking of a general idea. No corrections necessary. “enough” and “plenty of” both modify the nouns.

4. Massy: No way! You don’t even know your countable and uncountable nouns! Chris: I am very nervous to play the guitars and sing to Massy! AT WINTERBALL… Corrections: a winter balls—winter ball This statement requires a definite article and a singular noun Corrections: guitars—guitar This sentence requires a singular noun Warning to Guys: Learn your countable and uncountable nouns! Chris: Massy, will you go to a winter balls with me?! THERE IS A SLIDE AFTER THIS ONE
