A lot of girls have this ideal age for when they want to get married, but
a lot don’t verbalize it.
Many young people wait longer to marry. The reason?
Careers, fears, money and many others...
Many researchers, sociologists and family experts are taking a closer
look at this modern trend.
Some researchers say: “It’s better not to get married so early in life.”
People are more concerned with their own self-development than they
used to be. Many young people
postpone marriage until they feel they have their lives organized.
Organized means having one’s education completed and one’s career
path stabilized. They’re postponing marriage until they think they’re
ready for it.

Practice possessive pronouns. ICT

Get ready to… consolidate and practice language learned.

Grammar peek Irregular Plurals

The majority of English nouns are regular. Add –s to the end of the singular form or –es to the nouns
that end in 's', 'z', 'c', 'ch', 'x'.
Examples: spice – spices, inch – inches, bridge - bridges
However, if the singular noun ends with –y and the –y is not preceded by a vowel or is not a proper
name, the 'y' changes to –i and the plural is then –es.
Examples: copy – copies, cherry – cherries
Irregular plurals
1. Some nouns that end in –f or –fe are changed to –ves in plural.
Examples: half – halves, leaf – leaves, loaf – loaves, knife – knives
2. Some plural nouns are irregular.
Examples: foot – feet, man – men, woman – women, tooth – teeth, goose – geese, child – children
3. Some nouns ending in –o take –s while others take –es in plural.
Examples: tomato – tomatoes, potato – potatoes, photo – photos, auto – autos, kilo – kilos
4. Some nouns do not change.
Examples: fish – fish, sheep – sheep, deer – deer

Write plural nouns under the pictures.

   

A possessive pronoun is used instead of a noun: Marta's book is red. Mine is black.
A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun and it comes before it, like other
adjectives: This is my classroom. That is her classroom.

Check it out!
There are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns and adjectives.
The cat needs its food. "It's" means "it is": It's not my cat.

Read on The Present Tenses in Narration

When we are telling a story or describing things that have happened to us, we often use Present Tenses
(even though the events are in the past) in order to sound more interesting. They are also used to tell jokes.

Get ready to… write and say what you have on a shopping/supermarket list using quantifiers (some, any,
a few, a little) and 'there is/there are'.

Time to start
What food do you have in your fridge? There is… There are…

   
Word for word
Match the pictures with the phrases.
1. a jar of jelly 4. a box of cereal 7. a bottle of ketchup
2. a wedge of cheese 5. a stick of butter 8. a can of tuna
3. a carton of milk 6. a bag of chips

   

   

Grammar peek Quantifiers: some, any, a few, a little

We use a little with uncountable nouns.
Example: a little milk, a little time, a little marmalade
We use a few with countable nouns.
Example: a few bottles of soda, a few cartons of milk
We use some in positive sentences with uncountable and plural nouns.
Example: Would you like some juice?
We use any in negative sentences or when asking for something that we don't know exists.
Example: Are there any tomatoes in the fridge? I don't have any bread at home.
The words much and many mean a lot of. In everyday English, we normally use much/many only in
questions and negative clauses. To express that something is more than necessary, use too much or
too many.
Example: How much money do you have? She does not have many friends. You drink too much coffee.

Complete with the correct quantifiers.

1. Anny doesn't have vegetables.
2. Would you like sugar in your coffee?
3. He'd like to buy cans of tuna.
4. Jenny adds yoghurt to her cereal.
5. You'll spoil your appetite! You're eating cookies!
