"How do you spell T-Online please?" "Capital T dash capital O small n-l-i-n-e."

Other words you can add to make uncountable nouns countable:-

Two barrels of
barrel

a saucepan
rice.
Fifteen tanks of
tank
petrol.
Sixteen tins of
tin
custard.
Seventeen tubs of
tub
margarine.
Eighteen tubes of

toothpaste.
You can measure something to count it, but it

still doesn't take the plural form. The For example:-
measurement takes the plural form:-
1 and a half liters

liter
of milk.
pint Two pints of beer.
Two pounds /
pound / ounce / kilo etc... ounces / kilos of

Three bars of
bar
soap.
Two pinches of
pinch
salt.
Five slices of
slice
cake.
Fourteen
spoon spoonfuls of

When meeting someone formally for the first time, we shake their
hand and say "How do you do?" or "It’s nice to meet you."
"How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means "Hello".

five!" and slap their hands together (high five).
Generally we do not shake hands with people we know well.

Lesson 29
The Simple Present Perfect Positive - "I have done."

The Present Perfect Simple - [HAS / HAVE] + [past participle]
We often use the Present Perfect Simple tense to talk about our life up to now, especially
when we are interested in what happened, and not exactly when it happened. Think of it as
unfinished time - you're not dead - your life isn't finished, so you use the present perfect
tense to talk about it.
Forming the perfect tense
The verb “to have ”is used as an auxiliary verb to help other verbs create the perfect tense.

Lesson 35
The Future Using “Will” or “Shall”

The simple future
Will
'Will' does not change its form.

I, you, he, she, it, we, they will
'Will' is often shortened to ...'ll.
The negative of 'will' is 'will not' - often shortened to won't

I, you, he, she, it, we, they will not / won't
For example

I will go. I'll go. I won't go
You will go. You'll go. You won't go
He will go. He'll go. He won't go
She will go. She'll go. She won't go
It will go. It'll go. It won't go
We will go. We'll go. We won't go
They will go. They'll go. They won't go
Note: 'Will' on its own is not used for things we have arranged or decided to do.
"Will" is usually used in these situations:-
Volunteering to do something: (The phone is ringing). I'll answer it.
Promising to do something: (A friend is leaving) I'll visit you in the summer.
Deciding to do something : (Your car won't start) I'll buy a new car.

'Shall' is also shortened to ...'ll.

I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, we'll, they'll - and even (although it's not good English) it'll
The negative of 'shall' is 'shall not' - often shortened to shan't
I, you, he, she, it, we, they shall not / shan't
In British English 'Shall' is often used instead of will in the first person (I/we).
I / We will = I / We shall
I shall be at work on time. = I will be at work on time.
We shall win the competition. = We will win the competition.
They shall not pass! = They shan't pass!
'Shall' is also often used in the first person (I/we) in questions when asking for permission, making

Lesson 36
'Going to' and The Future Continuous
The future continuous
The future continuous is formed using the present continuous form + a future
time.
We use the future continuous when we intend or plan to do something at a specific

time in the future.
For example:-
 I'm picking him up at the airport this afternoon.
 I'm flying to England tomorrow.
Statements
Positive
He's working next week.
Negative
He isn't working next week.
Questions
Closed questions
Is he working on Sunday?
Open questions
What is he doing on Sunday?
Going to
The future using 'going to' is formed using 'subject + to be + going to + infinitive'.
We use 'going to' when we intend or plan to do something some time in the future.
For example:-
 I'm going to study English literature.
Note - We don't usually say "going to go to a place or event", instead you can drop
the go to and just say "going to + a place or event".
For example:-
 I'm going to England.
 I'm going to the concert.
Statements
Positive
He's going to work next week.

Negative
He isn't going to work next week.

Mr. Abdullah's students.
Asking Questions
"Whose .......?" is used to find out whether something belongs to someone.
The answer to the question "Whose .......?" must always have an 's or use a possessive
adjective.
For example:
Q. "Whose book is this?"
A. "It's Mr. Ali's book." or "It's his book."
Note
Don't confuse the --'s of possession with the contraction of the verb is:
Noun + 's = possessive or is?
's = possessive 's = is
My name's Fatima. = My name is Fatima.

Alia's name. = Her name.
Hilal's nice. = Hilal is nice.
Majid's house. = His house.
