Q1.
C. Read the recipe below. Underline the countable nouns and circle the uncoutable nouns.
Recipe: Yummy banana milkshake
Step 1: Peel two bananas and put them in a blender.
Answer

Underline (countable): bananas, blender. There is nothing to circle in this step.

Step 1: Peel two bananas and put them in a blender.
Why both are countable: The word two is right in front of bananas — a number before a noun always shows it can be counted. And we can have one blender or two blenders.
Tip: Them is not a naming word. It stands in place of bananas, so do not mark it.
Q2.
C. Read the recipe below. Underline the countable nouns and circle the uncoutable nouns.
Recipe: Yummy banana milkshake
Step 2: Pour one glass of milk into the blender.
Answer

Underline (countable): glass, blender. Circle (uncountable): milk.

Step 2: Pour one glass of (milk) into the blender.
Why milk is uncountable but glass is countable: Milk is a liquid, so we cannot say “two milks”. But the glass that holds it can be counted — one glass, two glasses. That is exactly what the Note to the Teacher on page 32 explains: milk is uncountable, but bottles of milk are countable.
Q3.
C. Read the recipe below. Underline the countable nouns and circle the uncoutable nouns.
Recipe: Yummy banana milkshake
Step 3: Add sugar and a little honey for sweetness.
Answer

Circle (uncountable): sugar, honey, sweetness. There is nothing to underline in this step.

Step 3: Add (sugar) and a little (honey) for (sweetness).
Why all three are uncountable: Sugar is a powder and honey is a thick liquid — we take an amount of each, not a number. Sweetness is an idea, a taste. The book’s own rule says a noun names a person, place, thing or an idea, and ideas like this cannot be counted.
Tip: The words a little are a clue. We use a little with uncountable nouns and a few with countable ones — a little honey, a few bananas.
Q4.
C. Read the recipe below. Underline the countable nouns and circle the uncoutable nouns.
Recipe: Yummy banana milkshake
Step 4: Blend everything until smooth.
Answer

There is nothing to underline and nothing to circle in this step.

Step 4: Blend everything until smooth.
Why this step has no noun: Blend is an action word. Everything is not a naming word — it stands in the place of the bananas, the milk, the sugar and the honey. Smooth is a describing word. So this step names no person, place, thing or idea at all.
Tip: A step with no noun is worth noticing. It shows that not every sentence has a naming word to mark.
Q5.
C. Read the recipe below. Underline the countable nouns and circle the uncoutable nouns.
Recipe: Yummy banana milkshake
Step 5: Add some ice cubes and enjoy your banana milkshake!
Answer

Underline (countable): ice cubes. Circle (uncountable): milkshake.

Step 5: Add some ice cubes and enjoy your banana (milkshake)!
Why ice cubes are countable: Ice by itself is uncountable — we cannot say “three ices”. But once it is made into cubes we can count them: one cube, two cubes, three cubes.
Why milkshake is circled: A milkshake is a drink, like the lemonade in part A on page 32. The book marked lemonade as uncountable, so a milkshake goes the same way. We say a glass of milkshake. If you wrote it as countable because we also say “one milkshake, please”, tell your teacher your reason — in everyday speech both are used.

Note about the book: The instruction on page 33 is printed as “circle the uncoutable nouns”. The word is spelt wrongly there; it should be uncountable, the way it is spelt in part B just above it.
