SUSTANTIVOS EN INGLÉS

SUSTANTIVOS O NOMBRES EN INGLÉS

En inglés los sustantivos se dividen en sustantivos contables y sustantivos incontables.

Una forma sencilla de saber si un sustantivo es contable, es contarlo mentalmente. Si  es posible se trata de un sustantivo contable; si no lo es, se trata de un sustantivo incontable.

Ejemplo:

Una camisa           A shirt
Dos camisas         Two shirts
Tres camisas         Three shirts

Queda claro que el sustantivo "camisa" es contable.

Pero, si intento contar el sustantivo "agua" me doy cuenta que no se puede contar.

Un agua  (es incorrecto)          A water (es incorrecto)

Lo correcto es:

Agua                                        Water

Entonces el sustantivo "agua" es incontable.

Los sustantivos contables pueden tener singular y plural.

They have got a red umbrella.
They have got two red umbrellas

Los sustantivos incontables no tienen plural

El agua está fría
Water is cold

HARVEST FESTIVAL

Every year in UK it is celebrated a Harvest Festival in schools and churches. Do you know why?

Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land.

They celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as 'Harvest Festival', usually during the month of September.

Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (about September 23). In two years
