2. a / an / some / anyI need _____ time to finish this work.

Explanation

The word "some" is used in this sentence to indicate an indefinite amount of time. It suggests that the speaker needs a certain amount of time, but it doesn't specify exactly how much. The use of "some" in this context implies that the speaker requires at least a small amount of time to complete the work.

Submit
3. a / an / some / anyI think we need ______ pasta for this recipe.

Explanation

In this question, the speaker is referring to a specific recipe and is unsure about the quantity of pasta needed. The word "some" is used to suggest an unspecified quantity of pasta. It indicates that the speaker believes that a certain amount of pasta is required for the recipe, but they are not sure about the exact measurement.

Submit
4. a / an / some / anyHe didn't have _____ books in class today.

Explanation

The correct answer is "any" because it indicates the absence of books. The sentence implies that the person did not have a single book in class today. "Any" is used in negative sentences or questions to refer to an indefinite quantity or number.

Submit
5. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE, or BOTH. Sugar

Explanation

Sugar is classified as uncountable because it cannot be easily separated into individual units or counted. It is typically measured or used in terms of quantity rather than specific units. For example, we might say "a spoonful of sugar" or "a cup of sugar" rather than "one sugar" or "two sugars." Therefore, sugar falls under the category of uncountable nouns.

Submit
6. a / an / some / anyDo you have ______ bananas?

Explanation

The word "any" is the correct answer because it is used in questions to ask if something exists or is available. In this case, the question is asking if the person has any bananas, indicating that they are asking if there are bananas available.

Submit
7. a / an / some / anyI don't have ______ coffee. Is tea OK?

Explanation

The word "any" is used in this sentence to indicate that the person does not have a specific amount or type of coffee. It suggests that they are open to having any amount or type of coffee, or even tea as an alternative.

Submit
8. a / an / some / anyDo we have _____ butter left?

Explanation

The word "any" is used in this question to indicate that the speaker is asking if there is even a small amount of butter left. It implies that the speaker is open to any amount of butter, whether it is a lot or just a little. The other options, "a," "an," and "some," would suggest that the speaker is specifically looking for a certain quantity of butter, which is not the case in this question.

Submit
9. a / an / some / anyDo you have ____ pen I can borrow?

Explanation

The correct answer is "a" because in this sentence, we are asking if the person has one pen that we can borrow. "A" is used before a singular countable noun when we are referring to any one of that noun.

Submit
10. Coffee

Explanation

Coffee is considered uncountable because it is a substance or a type of drink that cannot be easily divided into separate units. It is typically measured in terms of volume or weight rather than individual units. You cannot say "one coffee" or "two coffees" in the same way you would say "one cup of coffee" or "two cups of coffee". Therefore, coffee is classified as uncountable.

Submit
11. Apple

Explanation

The word "apple" is a countable noun because it can be easily counted and pluralized. We can say "one apple" or "two apples".

Submit
12.  How ___ apples did you buy?

Explanation

The word "many" is the correct answer because it is used to ask about the quantity of countable nouns, such as apples. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, so it would be incorrect in this context.

Submit
13. How ___ brothers and sisters do you have?

Explanation

The word "many" is the correct answer because it is used to quantify countable nouns, such as "brothers and sisters." In this question, we are asking for the number of siblings, which can be counted individually. Therefore, we use "many" instead of "much," which is used for uncountable nouns.

Submit
14. Egg

The word "egg" is countable because it refers to a specific unit or individual item that can be counted. Each egg can be counted as one, two, three, and so on.

Submit
15. Only a _________ tickets were sold for the show.

Explanation

The word "few" is the correct answer because it is used to describe a small number of things or a small amount of something. In this context, it implies that a small number of tickets were sold for the show, indicating that there was a low turnout or limited availability.

Submit
16. How ___ water did he drink?

Explanation

The correct answer is "much" because "much" is used to ask about the quantity of uncountable nouns, such as water. "Many" is used to ask about the quantity of countable nouns.

Submit
17. I have a _____________ friends from Australia.

Explanation

The correct answer is "few". "Few" is used to indicate a small number or quantity of something. In this sentence, it implies that the speaker has a small number of friends from Australia. "Little" is used to describe a small amount of something uncountable, such as "little water" or "little time". Since "friends" is countable, "few" is the appropriate choice here.

Submit
18. I love fried beans with ____ eggs!

Explanation

The phrase "I love fried beans with scrambled eggs!" suggests that the speaker enjoys eating fried beans alongside scrambled eggs. The other options, such as "fast," "top," and "thick," do not make sense in this context and do not convey a compatible food combination. Therefore, "scrambled" is the most appropriate answer.

Submit
19. How ___ photos did you take?

Explanation

The correct answer for this question is "many" because the word "photos" is countable and can be quantified. Therefore, we use "many" to ask about the quantity of countable nouns.

Submit
20. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE, or BOTH. Strawberry

Explanation

The word "strawberry" refers to a specific type of fruit, and it can be counted as individual units. For example, you can say "I ate three strawberries." Therefore, "strawberry" is countable.

Submit
21. I would like a __________ more milk in my coffee, please.

Explanation

The word "little" is the correct answer because it is used to describe an amount that is small or not much. In this context, the person is requesting a small amount of milk in their coffee. The word "few" is not appropriate in this sentence as it is used to describe a small number of countable objects, whereas milk is typically measured in quantity rather than individual units.

Submit
22. Chocolate

Explanation

Chocolate is considered uncountable because it refers to a substance or a mass rather than individual pieces. It cannot be easily separated into distinct units. We can say "I would like some chocolate" but not "I would like one chocolate."

Submit
23. Do you have _____ food for all of us?

Explanation

The word "enough" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and semantically in the sentence. The speaker is asking if there is a sufficient amount of food for everyone present. The word "too" would not make sense in this context as it implies an excessive amount of food, which is not what the speaker is asking. Therefore, "enough" is the appropriate word to use in this sentence.

Submit
24. There is only a __________ coffee left, I'll make a fresh pot.

Explanation

The word "little" is the correct answer because it is used to describe an amount or quantity that is small or not enough. In this sentence, the speaker is indicating that there is only a small amount of coffee left, which prompts them to make a fresh pot. The word "few" would be incorrect in this context as it is used to describe a small number of countable objects, whereas "little" is used for uncountable nouns like coffee.

Submit
25. The meal needs a _____________more salt.

Explanation

The correct answer is "little" because it suggests that the meal requires a small amount of additional salt. The word "little" is used to describe an amount that is not much or not enough, which implies that the meal is lacking in salt and needs just a small quantity to enhance its flavor.

Submit

Explanation

The word "too" is the correct answer because it indicates that the cake is excessively sweet for the speaker's taste. It suggests that the sweetness level of the cake exceeds their preference or tolerance.

Submit
27. I saw a __________ films on the weekend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "few" because "few" is used with countable nouns to indicate a small number. In this sentence, "films" is a countable noun, so "few" is the appropriate choice to convey that the speaker watched a small number of films on the weekend.

Submit
28. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE, or BOTH. Beer

Explanation

Beer is classified as uncountable because it is typically measured as a liquid and does not have a specific unit of measurement. It is not typically referred to in individual units, but rather as a collective substance. Therefore, it is considered uncountable.

Submit
29. Money

Explanation

The word "money" is considered uncountable because it refers to a general concept or a form of currency that cannot be easily quantified or counted. It is a collective noun that represents a sum or amount of currency, rather than individual units. Therefore, it is not used with plural forms or specific quantities.

Submit
30. Nowadays, most "piñatas" are made _____ carton

Explanation

Explanation

The word "many" is the correct answer because it is used to ask about the number of people invited. "Much" is used for uncountable nouns, while "many" is used for countable nouns. Since "people" is a countable noun, "many" is the appropriate word to use in this question.

Submit

Submit
33. She has very ___________ patience.

Explanation

The word "little" is the correct answer because it is used to describe a small amount of something. In this context, "little patience" means that she does not have much patience. The word "few" is not appropriate in this sentence because it is used to describe a small number of countable objects, not a non-countable quality like patience.

Submit
34. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE or BOTH. Food

Explanation

The word "food" is considered uncountable because it refers to a general category or concept rather than specific, individual items. It cannot be easily quantified or counted. However, it can also be used in a countable sense when referring to specific types or instances of food, such as "three different foods" or "five foods on the menu." Therefore, "food" can be classified as both uncountable and countable.

Submit
35. How ___ mistakes did you make on the test?

Explanation

The word "many" is the correct answer because it is used to describe countable nouns, such as "mistakes." In this question, we are asking about the number of mistakes made on the test, which can be quantified. Therefore, "many" is the appropriate word to indicate a large number of mistakes.

Submit
36. Paper

Explanation

The word "paper" is classified as uncountable because it refers to a substance or material that cannot be easily counted or measured. It is typically used as a mass noun to describe sheets or pieces of paper, rather than individual units.

In this case, "paper" is considered uncountable because it represents a general concept or material rather than a specific quantity or number of papers.

Submit
37. Biscuit

The word "biscuit" is countable because it refers to a specific item that can be counted individually. Each biscuit can be counted as one unit, and multiple biscuits can be counted as a specific number. Therefore, "countable" is the correct answer.

Submit

Submit
39. Puebla is famous ____  its delicious "Mole"

Explanation

The correct answer is "for". This is because the sentence is expressing that Puebla is famous for its delicious "Mole". The preposition "for" is commonly used to indicate the reason or cause of something, in this case, the reason for Puebla's fame is its delicious "Mole".

Submit
40. How ___ do you weigh?

Explanation

The word "weigh" refers to measuring the mass of an object. In this context, "much" is the correct word to use because it is used to quantify mass or weight. "Many" is used to quantify countable nouns, not weight. Therefore, "much" is the appropriate word to complete the question.

Submit
41. How ___ was your computer?

Explanation

The correct answer is "much" because the question is asking about the degree or extent of something, in this case, the level of how "your computer" was. "Much" is used to describe non-countable nouns, such as the overall performance or condition of a computer. "Many" is used for countable nouns, which would not be appropriate in this context.

Submit

Submit

Explanation

The word "fish" can be both countable and uncountable. When referring to individual fish or different species of fish, it is countable (e.g., "I caught three fish" or "There are many fish in the ocean"). However, when referring to fish as a general food or substance, it is uncountable (e.g., "I like to eat fish" or "Fish is a good source of protein"). Therefore, "fish" can be classified as both countable and uncountable.

Submit
45. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE or BOTH.Bread

Submit
46. I tried to do it a _________ times before.

Explanation

The word "few" is the correct answer because it indicates a small number of attempts. The phrase "a few times" suggests that the person made only a small number of attempts to do something. On the other hand, the word "little" would not make sense in this context as it refers to a small amount or quantity, rather than a number of attempts.

Submit
47. I traveled abroad ____________ weeks ago.

Explanation

The correct answer is "a few" because the phrase "a few" is used to indicate a small number of something. In this context, it suggests that the person traveled abroad a small number of weeks ago, implying that it hasn't been too long since they traveled.

Submit
48. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE, or BOTH. Vegetables

Explanation

The correct answer is "Countable" because vegetables can be counted individually. Each vegetable can be counted as a separate item, such as one carrot, two potatoes, etc.

Submit
49. Complete the list fill in the columns if the  NOUN is COUNTABLE, UNCOUNTABLE or BOTH. Fruit

Explanation

The correct answer is "Uncountable" because "fruit" is generally used as an uncountable noun. It refers to a category or a collective term for various types of fruits, and it is not typically used in a plural form. For example, we say "I bought some fruit" rather than "I bought some fruits." However, in certain contexts, "fruit" can also be used as a countable noun when referring to individual pieces or types of fruit. For example, "I ate three fruits today" or "Apples and oranges are different fruits." Therefore, the answer "Uncountable" is appropriate as it represents the most common usage of the noun "fruit."
