8. Why do you say âShe is a one-eyed teacherâ and not âSheâs an one eyed teacherâ? (Focus on a phonetic explanation) The article an is used before vowel sounds, not vowel letters. The word one is pronounced wun. The w is not a vowel sound even though the o in o-n-e is a vowel. So a must be used before one.

9. Miss Justine Fair listened to the two Chilean students read their passages. One of them had a strong accent. The second student had no accent at all. Who got the best mark? Why? (Focus on a Phonetic explanation) Accent is a form of mispronunciation, of giving vowels and consonants different values from their standards. Mastery of a language requires control over the sounds of the language.

10. One of the teachers said âMy children need much exercise to improve their performance.â The other one said: âMy children need many exercises to improve their performance.â What kind of courses are they in charge of? Teacher One teaches a course with non-countable exercise, that is, exercise that cannot be identified as separate pieces and counted. This is probably physical exertion, as the earlier post suggested. Teacher Two teaches a course with countable exercise. This work can be counted. Perhaps these are separately numbered problems in an exercise book. Maybe this is a teacher of mathematics.

13. What is the difference between these two sentences?

Sheâs worked as a teacher for five yearsâ ...for the past five years up to now

âShe worked as a teacher for five yearsâ ...for five years, sometime in the past (maybe the past five years--we don't know)

14. Can the auxiliary âdoâ and the verb âbeâ ever be combined in a sentence? Don't be surprised.

15. Is it ever possible to say âfruitsâ or âfoodsâ? Yes, if you are talking about different varieties. At the party they served fruits and foods from all over the world. Or: Two foods I really like are pizza and chocolate chip cookies.
