Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) How many books do you have?

  • A) How much books do you have?how much is used with uncountable nouns, and books is a countable noun.
  • B) How much are the books?That structure with are goes with uncountable nouns such as money or water.
  • C) How many books do you have?how many is used with countable nouns, and books can be counted, so the question is correct.
  • D) How many is there money?The question mixes how many with an uncountable noun and its verb is the wrong choice.

💡 Explicación

La eleccion entre how much y how many depende de una sola pregunta: se puede contar el sustantivo con numeros. Los libros se cuentan, la moneda no, y esa comprobacion resuelve practicamente todos los casos de la unidad.

Choose the correct question: "___ sugar do you need?"

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) How much

  • A) How manyhow many cannot go before sugar because the units of sugar are not counted.
  • B) How longhow long asks for a length of time, not for a quantity.
  • C) How oldhow old asks for an age and has nothing to do with a quantity.
  • D) How muchhow much goes before uncountable nouns such as sugar, water or milk.

💡 Explicación

Los sustantivos incontables en inglesExpressan la cantidad con una unidad de medida en lugar de con un numeral. Por eso se dice how much sugar pero two kilos of sugar, y mezclar ambas estructuras es el error habitual.

Pregunta 3

Bloom: Understand

Lectura de un aviso sobre la donacion de alimentos a un banco de alimentos.

Read: "We need some rice, some milk and two cans of tuna." What can be counted?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) The cans of tuna

  • A) The riceRice goes with some and with a unit of weight, and not with a direct numeral.
  • B) The milkMilk is uncountable and therefore does not accept a numeral such as two.
  • C) The food in generalThe text allows you to separate what is counted from what is not, and that generality does not answer the question.
  • D) The cans of tunaCans of tuna takes the numeral two, which shows that the cans are counted.

💡 Explicación

Identificar en el texto que elementos aparecen con numeral y cuales con some o some mucho permite deducir la regla sin necesidad de explicarla de antemano. Esa observacion inductiva es la que consolida el criterio de contable e incontable.

Ejercicio de descripcion de una habitacion en el examen de grado sexto.

Which sentence uses the right quantifier for a plural countable subject?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) There aren't many chairs in the room.

  • A) There aren't many chairs in the room.Chairs is countable, so the negative quantifier is many and the sentence becomes aren't many chairs.
  • B) There aren't much chairs in the room.chairs is countable, so the plural quantifier many is required and much cannot go before it.
  • C) There aren't many chair in the room.The noun chair is in the singular and does not agree with the plural are.
  • D) There isn't much chairs in the room.That option combines the singular verb isn't with a plural noun, and it also uses much with a countable noun.

💡 Explicación

En la negacion many y much anteponen el verbo al sustantivo, y por eso el orden de la oracion cambia respecto a la afirmativa. Revisar a la vez la concordancia del verbo y el criterio contable resuelve las tres errores en una sola comprobacion.

Pregunta 5

Bloom: Understand

Ejercicio de lectura de precios en un menu de cafeteria escolar.

Read: "A sandwich costs three dollars and a juice costs two dollars." How much does a sandwich cost?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) Three dollars

  • A) Three dollarsThe text says literally that the sandwich costs three dollars.
  • B) Two dollarsTwo dollars is the price of the juice and not of the sandwich.
  • C) Five dollarsFive dollars would be the sum of the two prices, and the question asks for one only.
  • D) One dollarOne dollar does not appear in the text as the price of any item.

💡 Explicación

Cuando un texto presenta dos precios y la pregunta pide solo uno, el riesgo mayor es sumar. Localizar la palabra clave sandwich en la pregunta y buscarla en el texto evita esa confusion de manera inmediata.

Which sentence uses little correctly?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) There isn't much water in the bottle.

  • A) There is little water in the bottle.That sentence would be correct in Spanish, but in English little is used in the negative.
  • B) There isn't much water in the bottle.much is the quantifier that goes with uncountable nouns in the negative.
  • C) There aren't little students in the class.little does not go before countable nouns such as students.
  • D) There is a little book in the desk.a little does go before a countable singular noun, but the question asks for the form little.

💡 Explicación

En ingles a little admite un sustantivo singular contable, pero little a secas solo aparece en frases negativas. El enunciado pide justamente la forma little, y por eso la unica respuesta que la contiene de manera correcta es la opcion B.

Pregunta 8

Ejercicio de traduccion de un aviso escolar del espanol al ingles.

Translate to English: "Hay mucha gente en el parque."

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) There are a lot of people at the park.

  • A) There are many people at the park.People is countable because it accepts the numerals one person and two people, so it needs many.
  • B) There are a lot of people at the park.a lot of accepts both countable and uncountable nouns, so it works with people.
  • C) There is many people at the park.The verb is does not agree with the plural subject people.
  • D) There are much people at the park.much is used with uncountables and people is a countable noun.

💡 Explicación

People es un sustantivo peculiar porque es plural en forma pero se puede contar con one person. Esa caracteristica hace que many sea la opcion natural, y a lot of es la alternativa equally valida cuando no se quiere insistir en la cantidad exacta.

Pregunta 9

Bloom: Understand

Ejercicio de lectura de un articulo sobre el consumo responsable de agua.

Read: "You should drink two litres of water every day." How much water is recommended?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) Two litres of water

  • A) Two bottlesThe text speaks of litres and not of bottles, so that unit does not appear in the original.
  • B) Two litres of waterThe text indicates two litres of water, which is exactly the amount recommended.
  • C) Two litres of milkThe substance is water and the text does not mention milk.
  • D) One litre of waterOne litre would be half the amount the article recommends.

💡 Explicación

Los incontables se expresan con la unidad delante del sustantivo, como two litres of water, y no con el sustantivo en plural. Reconocer que el agua no tiene forma plural es lo que permite descartar la opcion de la leche y entender la estructura completa.

Prueba corta de la unidad para cerrar el trimestre.

Which question asks for the price correctly?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) How much is the bag?

  • A) How many is the bag?how many is used with countable nouns, and the question is looking for a price, not a quantity.
  • B) How much are the bag?The verb are does not agree with the singular subject the bag.
  • C) How much is the bag?To ask for the price of an object you use how much with the verb to be.
  • D) How old is the bag?how old asks for an age and not for the purchase price.

💡 Explicación

Cuando how much acompana al verbo to be, la pregunta pide un precio y el sustantivo puede ser contable o incontables. Esa combinacion es la que se usa en las tiendas y es diferente de how much are para sustantivos incontables en plural.
