TEMA: SUSTANTIVOS CONTABLES Y NO CONTABLES

En inglés, hay algunos sustantivos que no forman el plural o que no se pluralizan,

a estos sustantivos se les llama sustantivos no contables (uncountable nouns).

Estos sustantivos se utilizan sólo de forma singular.

Por lo tanto, en inglés tenemos dos tipos de sustantivos, los sustantivos

contables, los cuales tienen su forma plural, y los sustantivos no contables:

Sustantivos

contables

(countable nouns)

Sustantivos no

contables

(uncountable nouns)

8

Car

Man

Key

House

Water

Air

Music

Salt

Cuando se usan los sustantivos no contables, no puedes usar las

palabras uno, dos, tres, etc., por ejemplo, no se puede decir:

one water, two musics (esto es incorrecto).

Tampoco se pueden emplear los artículos a/an con los sustantivos no

contables, no se dice:

a money, a music, an air (esto es incorrecto).

Cuando se utilizan los sustantivos no contables, se pueden usar las

siguientes palabras:

Money: the money, my money, some money, much money, etc.

A continuación, tenemos una lista de algunos sustantivos no contables,

recuerda que a estos sustantivos no les agregamos –s, y tampoco los usamos con

los artículos a/an porque en inglés no se pueden contar:

Lista de algunos sustantivos no contables en inglés

Judy and Steve Morales have three children: Josh, 12; Ben, 9; and

Emily, 6. Steve is a computer programmer. This year, Judy is working

again as a hospital administrator. The family needs the money, and Judy

likes her job. Everything is going well, but there are also some problems.

Now that Judy is working, Steve has to help her more with the

housework. He doesn´t enjoy it.

Judy loves her work, but she feels too tired and busy. She also

worries about the children. Judy has to work on Saturdays, so

Steve and Judy don‟t have a lot of free time together.

Emily is having a great time in her after-school program. When

Judy comes to pick her up, she doesn‟t want to leave.

Unfortunately, Ben‟s school doesn‟t have an after-school

program. Right now, he‟s spending most afternoons in front of the

TV.

Josh is enjoying his new freedom after school. He‟s playing his

music louder and spending more time on the phone. He‟s also

doing a few household chores.

II. Talk about your last Christmas. Was it good? Why/ Why not?

The Christmas Man

Last Christmas was a very difficult time for me. My family and all of my close friends were back home in Florida, and I was all alone in a rather cold California. I was working too many hours and became very sick.

I was working a double shift at the Southwest Airlines ticket counter, it was about 9:00 P.M. on Christmas Eve, and I was feeling really miserable inside. There were a few of us working and very few customers were waiting to be helped. When it was time for me to call the next person to the counter, I looked out to see the sweetest-looking old man standing with a cane. He walked very slowly over to the counter and in the faintest voice told me that he had to go to New Orleans. I tried to explain to him that there were no more flights that night and that he would have to go in the morning. He looked so confused and very worried. I tried to find out more information by asking if he had a reservation or if he remembered when he was supposed to travel, but he seemed to become more confused with each question. He just kept saying, “she said I have to go to New Orleans. “

After much time, I was able to at least find out that this old man was ropped off at the curb on Christmas Eve by his sister-in-law and told to go to New Orleans, where he had family. She had given him some cash and told him just to go inside

56

and buy a ticket. When I asked if he could come back tomorrow, he said that she was gone and that he had no place to stay. He then said he would wait at the airport until tomorrow. Naturally, I felt a little ashamed. Here I was feeling very sorry for myself about being alone on Christmas, when this angel named Clarence MacDonald was sent to me to remind me of what being alone really meant. It broke my heart.

Immediately, I told him we would get it all straightened out, and our Customer Service agent helped to book him a seat for the earliest flight the next morning. We gave him the senior citizens fare, which gave him some extra money for travelling. About this time he started to look very tired, and when I stepped around the counter to ask him if he was all right, I saw that his leg was wrapped in a bandage. He had been standing on it that whole time, holding a plastic bag full of clothes.

I called for a wheelchair. When the wheelchair came, we all stepped around to help him in, and I noticed a small amount of blood on his bandage. I asked how he hurt his leg, and he said that he had just had bypass surgery and an artery was taken from his leg. Can you imagine? This man had had heart surgery, and then shortly afterward, was dropped off at the curb to buy a ticket with no reservation to fly to New Orleans alone!

I never really had a situation like this, and I wasn‟t sure what I could do. I went back to ask my supervisors if we could find a place for him to stay. They both said yes, and they obtained a hotel voucher for Mr. MacDonald for one night and a meal ticket for dinner and breakfast. When I came back out, we got his

plastic bag of clothes and cane together and gave the porter a tip to take him downstairs to wait for the airport shuttle. I bent down to explain the hotel, food and itinerary again to Mr. MacDonald, and then patted him on the arm and told him everything would be just fine.

As he left, he said, thank you, bent his head and started to cry. I cried too. When I went back to thank my supervisor, she just smiled and said, AI love stories like that. He is your Christmas Man.

READING

I. Read the text below. Circle a, b or c

Food can be dangerous for your health!

________________________________

When you go to a restaurant you often think that the food you are ordering is good for you, but many restaurants serve healthy food, like fish or salad, with a sauce or dressing that uses a lot of oil, fat, or sugar. The British Food Standards Agency wants all restaurants to say in their menus exactly what is in each dish, how many calories, how much fat, and what additives. They think that restaurants don´t give their customers enough information, and that this new plan could help people to have a healthier diet. But chefs are not happy with the Agency´s plan. One top chef said, "People are not stupid. They know that many sauces have butter and cream in them. But if we put on a menu that a dish has 1,000 calories, nobody is going to order it". However, many doctors agree with the plan. Bruce Ward, Professor of Medicine, said, "People know that cigarettes are bad for them, because it tells you on the packet. But when they go to a restaurant they often have no idea if the food is healthy or not. Food products that have a lot of calories, fat, and sugar need a health warning, exactly like cigarettes".

Composition

I think it‟s a sad Christmas story. I love to read Christmas stories because they

have love, toys, color, Christmas trees, presents, carols, piñatas, candies and lots

of fun. When I read this story I wanted to cry, too. I can´t imagine and old man

suffering alone. Thanks God, there was a nice person to help him.

Last Christmas I spent it with my family in my grandmother‟s house. We were very

happy singing, dancing and opening our presents. At dinner time we all sat at the

table to eat. My grandmother prepared Romeritos and. My mother prepared a

shrimp soup, it as delicious. My aunt Rita brought a corn Cake. After dinner my

grandfather played the guitar and we sang Christmas songs. It was one of the most

incredible days for me.
