FOOD

In English  there are some nouns that cannot be counted. 

You can call them UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS.

The clue for you to follow is that they are never plural. 

In this picture you have some examples:

"FRUITS" refers to all type of fruit

"BEANS" refers to all type of beans

When you want to count all the nouns that cannot be counted, you use thes MAGIC words:

 

 In every case what you count is the container, not the food.

NOTICE CHEESE

What happens when you don't know the exact number of food items?

well, don't worry! there are some magic words again:

We use SOME and ANY when we don't now the number.

There are SOME cookies in the jar

There is SOME milk in the fridge.

(I'm not saying anyting about countable or uncountable nouns)      

There aren't ANY cookies in the jar, there are M&Ms

There isn't ANY milk in the fride, there's only orange juice

We use SOME or ANY if the sentence is affirmative, negative or interrogative.

The use of SOME or  ANY  has nothing to do with countability.

❔  /  ➖                ANY

➕                    SOME
