Notes for teachers

Use this test after introducing countable and uncountable food and classroom nouns. It targets typical A1 errors such as plural forms of uncountable nouns (breads, homeworks), 'some' in negatives, 'are' with uncountable nouns and 'a/an' with plural nouns. As follow-up, ask students to describe their own fridge or bag using there is/there are with some and any.
