y con nombres de festividades (at Christmas, at Easter).
IN se refiere a partes o divisiones del día (in the evening), meses (in
November), estaciones del año (in winter) y años (in 2004). IN se

nine months' time).

divisiones del día (mencionando el día de la semana) (on Monday
mornings) y para las fechas (on 15th May, on November 5th).

Nouns
The part of speech (or word class) that is
used to name or identify a person, place,
thing, quality, or action. Adjective: nominal.
Most nouns have both
a singular and plural form, can be
preceded by an article and/or one or
more adjectives, and can serve as
thehead of a noun phrase.

Clasification
 Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that
we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot
"count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We
can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we
cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more
uncountable nouns:
 music, art, love, happiness
 advice, information, news
 furniture, luggage
 rice, sugar, butter, water
 electricity, gas, power
 money, currency
 We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular
verb. For example:
 This news is very important.
 Your luggage looks heavy.
 We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable
nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can
say a something of:
 a piece of news
 a bottle of water
 a grain of rice
 We can use some and any with uncountable nouns:
 I've got some money.
 Have you got any rice?
 We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:
 I've got a little money.
 I haven't got much rice.
Countables Nouns
 Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things
that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count
pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here
are some more countable nouns:
 dog, cat, animal, man, person
 bottle, box, litre
 coin, note, dollar
 cup, plate, fork
 table, chair, suitcase, bag
 Countable nouns can be singular or plural:
 My dog is playing.
 My dogs are hungry.

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:
My dog is playing.
My dogs are hungry.
We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:
A dog is an animal.
When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word
like a/the/my/this with it:
I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)
When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:
I like oranges.
Bottles can break.
We can use some and any with countable nouns:
I've got some dollars.
Have you got any pens?
We can use a few and many with countable nouns:
I've got a few dollars.
I haven't got many pens.

Quantifiers
Los cuantificadores indican la cantidad
de un nombre. Son repuestas a la
pregunta "¿Cuántos?" Al igual que los
artículos, los cuantificadores definen a un
nombre y siempre están situados delante
del nombre. Se pueden usar algunos sólo
con nombres contables, otros sólo con
nombres incontables y otros con ambos.

Cuantificadores
 BOTH / ALL
No los confundas. Mientras que both hace
referencia a dos cosas, dos personas,
etc., all hace referencia a tres o más
elementos. Observa:
There were trees on both sides of the road.
(Había árboles a ambos lados de la carretera).
There were trees on all sides of the road.
(Había árboles por todas partes en la carretera)
Any
 Significado: Algunos, ninguno
Uso: Se utiliza en los mismos contextos que "some,"
pero en frases negativas o interrogativas.
 Ejemplos:
 Frase negativa/nombre contable:
 I do not have any cats. (No tengo ninguno gato.)
 Frase negativa/nombre incontable:
 He does not have any money. (No tiene dinero.)
 Frase interrogativa/nombre contable:
 Are there any changes? (¿Hay algunos cambios?)
 Frase interrogativa/nombre incontable:
 Is there any milk? (¿Hay leche?)
ALL / EVERY
Muchos estudiantes los confunden.
Mientras que all se puede utilizar delante
de un sustantivo en plural, every sólo
puede utilizarse delante de un sustantivo
en singular, como lo ejemplifican estos
dos refranes de origen desconocido:
All roads lead to Rome.
(Todos los caminos conducen a Roma).
Every man has his price.
(Todo hombre tiene su precio).
EVERY / EACH
Otros dos afamados "confundibles".
Mientras que each puede utilizarse para
referirse a dos o más personas, cosas,
etc., every sólo puede utilizarse para
hacer referencia a tres o más elementos.
Observa:
Helen was carrying two cases, one in each hand.
(Elena estaba llevando dos maletas, una en cada mano).
Each / Every star in the sky has a name.
(Cada/Toda estrella del firmamento tiene su nombre).
