Unit 2

Grammar Focus
1- Expressions Of quantity :

We use the expressions of quantity with count and non count nouns to show or say
how many things.
With count Nouns:

We use too many+fewer+more+enough with count nouns

Subject+ Plural Verbs+ too many or fewer or more or enough+ Count nouns
Foe example:
1-There are too many rooms in this house.
2- We need more streetlights

With non-count nouns:

We Use too much+ Less+ More+ enough with non-count nouns

Subject+ Singular Or plural verbs+ too much or less or more or enough

For example:
1- There is too much pollution in our city.
2- We need less light in this room.

2-Indirect questions from wh- questions:

We Use indirect wh- question instead of direct to make the questions more polite

We use the indirect wh- Question with expressions like :

1- Could you tell me .....

2- Do you know....

3- Can you tell me ....

4- Would you mind telling me.....

The form:
The expression + Wh- questions+ Subject + Verb
For example:
1-Can you tell me where the class is?
2- Do you know what time the class starts?
Notice that the verb comes at the end after the subject not before the subject.

Direct question: Where is the class?

Indirect Question: Can you tell me where the class is?
Direct Question: What time does the class start?
Indirect Question: Do you know what time the class starts?
