Countable and uncountable nouns


NOUNS ARE DIVIDED IN;
- countable and uncountable

Countable 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.

We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:

- A dog is an animal.

Uncountable nouns.

Uncountable nouns are things you see as a whole, things you can't count. This ones has only one form.

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

Examples: The Water is a uncountable noun, because you can count the water. Another Examples are the jelly, the oil, the sugar..

Accident Spanair

This summer I travel to Ibiza's airoport because I went to Formentera. I wasn´t afraid, but the turn had a few turbulences. One month after, on August 20, 2008 Spanair Flight JK 5022, from Barajas airport in Madrid to Gran Canaria airport, crashed just afer take off from runway of Barajas airoport at 14:45.

It is the world´s worst aviation accident in 2008 an Spanair´s worst in 25 years because 154 people died.

Sources initially reported as few as 2 to 45 deaths; however as the incident unfolded, the emergency rescue only 18 survivors.

Spanish newspapers have reported that the left engine was discovered in the wreckage with its reverse thurst, used to slow down the plane during landing, activated.

They said the pilot may had put the engine in reverse in an effort to abort the take off because he noticed the plane lacked the power to get off the ground.

Several of the suvivors said the plane appeared to lack the necessary power on the runway.

Days later my friend Elisa traveled from trip to Sicily in an airplane Spanair´s Company, I was scared a little but soon I thought that it´s not necesary to be scared to fly in airplane because by probability it´s less dangerous. I like to travel and to know new sites, so I will travel in airplane the next time.

MUSIC



This summer has been funny because I have played music all the time , in my ipod or in my PC.
A new friend showed me a video in Youtube and I liked so much. It was a band MGMT, and this
is that I know about musical group:



MGMT, is an American musical group based in Brooklyn ( New York ) in 2002 and its members are Andrew Van Wyngarden and Ben Goldwasser.



Their album " Oracular Spectacular " is a second album edited in 2007, I like it very much.
This band experimented with noise rock and electronica. Its members graduated in 2005.

The band supported " Radiohead " on Manchester date of their world tour and have announced a head line tour of the U.K. during November 2008.



The song that I like is " Time to Pretend ". In this song opens a box of surprises with psicodelia of 60´s, mixture of sintetizers of 80´s, sunny California and surf, the hippie, the harmony of folk-rock groups, mixed with the dark New York of the Velvet Underground and the first Pink Floyd. It´s a mixture of imaginative, space music deluded eternal and prestigious magazines of music define as a the hope rock.



" Oracular Spectacular " is filled with more traditional rock instruments: electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, syntetizers all played live.

Their songs filled with all those college feelings, naviety, idealism, happiness, sadness and this album distills the essence of the past, promises and portends the future, and offers an absorbing transformative experience between the present.



I think that when I play MGMT´s music i open my mind to the multi-dimensional vibratin technicolor.
