Notes for teachers

Start by sorting real classroom or food objects into countable and uncountable groups before doing Exercise 1. Typical mistakes are adding -s to uncountable nouns (breads), using a with uncountable nouns (a bread) and using some in negatives. Point out that we use some in requests and offers (Can I have some tea?). As a follow-up, ask pairs to describe what is and isn't in their fridge at home using some and any.
