countable and uncountable nouns

COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

English nouns are often described as "countable" or "uncountable".

- COUNTABLE NOUNS :

Countable nouns are easy to recognize.

They are things that we can count.

For example: dog. We can count dogs, we can have one, two, three or more dogs.

Some more countable nouns:
pen, cat, animal, man, person, bottle, box, litre, coin, note, dollar , cup, plate, fork , table, chair, suitcase, bag

Can be singular or plural :

My dog is playing.
My dogs are hungry.

We can use the indefinite article a/an :

A dog is an animal.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like: a/the/my/this.

Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)

We can use some and any too with countable nouns, and a few and many.

- UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS :

Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we can't divide into separate elements.

We can't "count" them. For example: milk. We can't count milk, we only can count bottles of milk, litres, but not milk itself.

Some more uncountable nouns:

music, art, love, happiness, advice, information, news , furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water , electricity, gas, power, money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb.

For example:

- This news is very important.

We don't usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a something of:

- a piece of news

We can use some and any.

- I've got some money.

- Have you got any rice?

And we can use too a little and much.

MUSIC

MUSIC

The music is the art to combine the sound with the time.

Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.

The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "of the Muses".

The development of music among humans must have taken place against the backdrop of natural sounds such as birdsong and the sounds other animals use to communicate.

Prehistoric music is the name which is given to all music produced in preliterate cultures.

Greek philosophers and ancient Indians defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies.

ecology

ECOLOGY

Ecology is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of life and the interactions between organisms and their environment.

The word "ecology" is often used more loosely in such terms as social ecology and deep ecology and in common parlance as a synonym for the natural environment or environmentalism.

Likewise "ecologic" or "ecological" is often taken in the sense of environmentally friendly.

The term ecology or oekologie was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1866, when he defined it as "the comprehensive science of the relationship of the organism to the environment.

"Fallas & "holy week"

In this time, to be on vacation, the only that I have done is to go out with my friends, for a stroll or walk, to see fallas and throwing "petardos". I passed it very well, because my friends are very funnies and always we're with a smile in the face.

Later, at night, we were in the street and in the "falla" of a friend that they gave us beverage.

We were in the park, in the fallas, in the house of one, in the street, with all the people of paterna, with many people... And one day I was in the gulliver and in the city of the arts and the sciences because came a cousin of a friend, that she was of Madrid.

The only that I can say is that I passed it very well and the next fallas will be better. And in holy week I have done the same thing, go out with my friends but without the fallas, because fallas was finished.

INDIA

INDIAN ECONOMY - India's economic history can be broadly divided into three eras, beginning with the pre-colonial period lasting up to the 17th century. The advent of British colonisation started the colonial period in the 17th century, which ended with independence in 1947. India's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, handicrafts, textile, manufacturing, and a multitude of services.



INDIAN SOCIETY - Indian society is an extent perhaps unknown in any other of the world's great civilizations.



HISTORY OF INDIA - The history of India begins with the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished in the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent from 3300 to 1700. Islam arrived on the subcontinent early in the 8th century CE with the conquest of Baluchistan and Sindh by Muhammad bin Qasim. During the first half of the 20th century, a nationwide struggle for independence was launched by the Indian National Congress, and later joined by the Muslim League. The subcontinent gained independence from Great Britain in 1947.
