Key to Exercises Alternatives are given in brackets; alternatives in square brackets not recommended. 1.1 All nouns into plural without article, except the uncountables: wood, milk, tea, meat, flour, ink. 1.2 All nouns into singular with indefinite article: a(n). 1.3 (x=absence of article) I a/x/x 2 x/a 3 x/x/x 4 a/x 5 a/a 6x/an 7 a/x 8 a/a 9 a/x 10 a/x/x 11 x/a 12 a/x 13 a/x 14 a/x 15 a/x 16 x/a 17 x/x/x/x i8an/a 19 a/x 20 x/a 21 a/x 22 a/x 23 a/x/x 24 x/a/x 25 a/x/a 1.4 (x=absence of article; s-somé).

Spinach is uncountable because we see only a large heap of leaves to chop up; but we talk of a cabbage because we buy the plánt whole and so feel it to be a reasonable unit. 1.6 (x=absence of article) I a 2 x 3a 4X 5a 6x 7a 8x 9a iox iix 12a 13a 14X 15a 1.7 (x-absence of article; s-some; <=the) 1 x(s)/x 2 a/t 3 a/t 4 a/t 5 a/a 6 t/s 7 t/a/t 8 a/a 9a(t)/x I o a(t)/x 11 s/a 12 t(a)/a 13 x/t 14 x/x 15 t/t 16 x(s)/t 17 a/x 18 a(t)/t/t/a(t) 19 a/a 20 a/t 1.8 (x-absence of article; s=some; t=the) 1 a/t 2 t/x/t/x/x 3 x/t 4 t/an/x 5 t/x/x/a/t/x 6 a/x/a 7 x/t 8 t/t/x 9 x/a/t/t/s 10 x/x II s/t 12 x/x 13 x/t/x(t) 14 x/a/x 15 a/a/x 16 a/t I7x/a(t)/x i8s/x 19 an/t 201 21 t/a/x 22 a/x/x(s) 23 a/x/s/a/x 24 t/t 25 a/s 2.1 1 can't/can he 2 hasn't/has she 3 mustn't/must I 4 isn't/is he 5 haven't/have they 6 can't/can you 71'm not/am I 8 can't/can we 9 mustn't/must he 10 aren't/are they 11 mustn't/must you 12 can't/can he 13 haven't/have you 14 can't/can she 15 mustn't/must I 161'm not/am I 17 can't/can they 18 mustn't/must you 19 hasn't/has he 20 can't/can I 2.2 1 doesn't like/does John like? etc., throughout. 3.2 I ad lib. 2 his/hers 3 your/ mine/my 4 mine/yours 5 their/theirs 6 his/yours 7 ad lib. 8 mine/yours (or vice versa) 9 his/mine 10 our/hers 3.3 1 yours (or others) 2 yours 3 his 4 theirs 5 mine 6 theirs 7 yours/mine (or vice versa) 8 yours (or others) 9 hers 10 ours 4.11 yours/mine/myself 2 herself 3 her/herself 4 myself 5 theirs/ themselves 6 ourselves 7 herself
