Inglés principiantes. Comida

Cuarta lección de nuestro curso de inglés en su nivel para principiantes. Hoy vamos a aprender a expresarnos sobre las comidas que nos gustan o nos disgustan. Esta situación nos ayudará a comprender y a utilizar las expresiones de cantidad y los sustantivos contables e incontables.

Beginner - food

Study points

In this lesson you will learn how to talk about food you like and dislike. We will also learn how to express quantities.

Before we watch a short movie, I´ll teach you some vocabulary describing food:

- TO BAKE. Do you like to bake? We bake bread, cookies and potatoes in a hot oven.

- BAKERY. A bakery is a store that bakes bread and other products like it.

- WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR.  Flour is the powder we use to make bread. Whole wheat bread is brown and is healthier than white bread.

- ORGANIC. Organic food has no chemicals in it.

Watch

We are now going to watch a shot movie. Two friends are sharing food and talking. Listen for their likes and dislikes.

Learn

Now let´s talk about the grammar in the movie. Look at these sentences:

"Would you like a hamburger?" "Would you like an orange?" "Would you like some vegetables?" For countable nouns, we use "a" or "an" and "numbers". If the number is not important, we use "some". We add "s" to show there is more than one. "An orange. Two oranges. Three oranges. Some oranges."

"Would you like some cheese? Would you like a piece of cheese?" Some nouns are uncountable. "Some cheese. Some water. Some rice. Some ham." We don´t use "a" or "an" and we don´t use "numbers". We also don´t use "s" because it can´t be plural. It is uncountable. We can only count parts of uncountable nouns.  "A piece of cheese; two pieces of cheese; some pieces of cheese."

Try

Let´s go on. It is now your turn to practice speaking. I will show you part of the movie. Watch the people, then listen to me and repeat what I say.

"Would you like some cheese".

"Just take some from the bread".

"Do you like baking?"

"I like to grow my own vegetables".

Review points

You have now practice talking about food you like and dislike. You´ve also learn to express quantities, for countable nouns, such as a hamburger. We can say: "Would you like a hamburger?" For uncountable nouns such as cheese, we can say "Would you like some cheese".
