Today’s topic is “further” versus “farther.” Almost every week someone asks me to explain the difference between “further” and “farther.” I know you are all looking up “further vs farther,” and when I was on the Oprah Winfrey Show, a production assistant grabbed me backstage while my head was still spinning and begged me to

Handy English is made in sets of weeks where each week consists of 5 days and a small revision. Days and weeks are not connected in any way thus can be used separately whenever you feel like it! For teachers who prefer a bit of structure, a small revision at the end of each week is included. The materials were made as PowerPoint presentations but are 100% PDF convertible – although, you’ll be missing out on those fancy animations. Don’t forget PPT files are editable so you can always adjust them to your liking! It all sounds great but what can we possibly use it for? It’s better than you think – you can use it for whatever you want! These little slides come in handy in various situations, such as: - Warm-ups and ice-breakers, - Short breaks from some brain-melting grammar exercises, - Fill-in activities, - Surprise substitutions, - And those “I-thought-that-test-would-take-them-longer” situations we’ve all encountered! One day of each week is and always will be free so you can test the slides in class and see how amazing they are! Handy English of the day is divided into 4 target groups (but more are to come!) Adults -> Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate Teens -> Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate Enjoy! Removing the Handy English logo and re-uploading/selling the file is strictly forbidden.

What a noun is and what it does: A noun tells us what someone or something is called. For example, a noun can be the name of a person (John), a job title (doctor) the name of a thing (radio), the name of a place (London), the name of a quality (courage), or the name of an action (laughter/laughing). Nouns are the names we give to people, things, places, etc in order to identify them. Many nouns are used after a determiner (this) and often combine with other words to form a noun phrase (the man next door). Nouns and noun phrases answer the questions Who? or What? and may be: - the subject of a verb Our agent in Cairo sent a telex this morning - the direct object of a verb Frank sent an urgent telex from Cairo this morning - the indirect object of a verb Frank sent his boss a telex - the object of a preposition read about it in the paper - the complement of be or a related verb like seem Jane Forbes is our guest - used 'in apposition' Laura Myers, a BBC reporter asked for an interview - used when we speak directly to somebody Caroline shut that window will you please? How to identify countable and uncountable nouns: All common nouns fall into one of two sub-classes they may be either countable nouns (sometimes known as unit or count nouns) or uncountable nouns (sometimes known as mass or non-count nouns) The distinction between countable and uncountable nouns is fundamental in English, for only by distinguishing between the two can we understand when to use singular or plural forms and when to use the indefinite, definite and zero articles or the appropriate quantifier a few much many, etc. Unfortunately, we cannot always rely on common sense (using the idea of counting as a guide) to tell us when a noun is countable or uncountable For example, the noun information is uncountable in English, but its equivalent in another language may refer to an item or items of information and will therefore be countable. Experience is uncountable, but we can refer to an experience to mean an event which contributes to experience. For detailed information about individual nouns, we must consult a good dictionary. but until then: COUNTING THE UNCOUNTABLES. We can use several expressions to count uncountable nouns. a tube of a litre of a kilo of one carton/two cartons of a slice of a bottle of a packet of a tin of an item of a piece of a spoonful of a glass of a bowl of a loaf of a can of UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS. Some uncountable nouns in English can be countable in other languages. Here you have a list of the most common uncountable English words: advice bread news luggage baggage furniture spaghetti pasta weather research work money grass scenery health progress NOUNS BOTH COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE. Some nouns are countable with one meaning and uncountable with another meaning: A fish/Some fish A paper (a newspaper)/Some paper An iron/Some iron A wood/Some wood A hair/Some hair A coffee (a cup)/Some coffee A glass/Some glass A time/Some time And let us not forget, this is how we count them:

The Adjective is a hero with an incredible eye for detail, and as a member of The Amazing Eight (A.K.A. parts of speech), this hero puts his keen powers of observation to work for the good of all our sentences. The Adjective is a modifier, and with the help of his super handy modifying tool, he delivers a fist full of descriptive power to nouns. The details supplied by The Adjective serve our sentences by adding richness and interest to the people, places, and objects within them. For instance, “the hero” can become “the fearless hero,” and “the villain” can become “the twisted villain.” Also, adjectives can be very useful additions to our sentences because they add clarity and understanding by answering the questions: which one, how many, and what kind? So, the next time you want to add some distinct and dynamic description to your sentences, remember our detail oriented hero—The Adjective. SUPER POWERS: The Adjective has the ability to modify nouns in a sentence with the addition of descriptive detail. By modifying these words with description, he helps answer these questions: which one, how many, and what kind? SUPER EXAMPLES: 1) The slimy thief got away. slimy: adjective answering the question which one? 2) Three heroes are on patrol. Three: adjective answering the question how many? 3) Circuit Breaker is a powerful villain. powerful: adjective answering the question what kind? THE POWER OF PHRASING: The Adjective has The Power of Phrasing. Sometimes an adjective needs to be more than a single word to properly do its job. This is when The Adjective uses The Power of Phrasing. This power allows the adjective to stretch out into being several words that act as a single unit within a sentence. This group of words is called: a phrase. SUPER EXAMPLES: 1) The man with the enormous brain is controlling us. with the enormous brain: adjective phrase answering the question which one? 2) His more than two arms gave him the advantage. more than two: adjective phrase answering the question how many? 3) He is a hero of tremendous virtue. of tremendous virtue: adjective phrase answering the question what kind?
