Grammar Focus 핵심 정리
1. Countable vs uncountable 셀 수 있는 명사 vs 셀 수 없는 명사
Some nouns are countable (an apple, two apples). Others are uncountable (water, money, time, advice, information). Uncountable nouns don't take a or -s.
an apple, two apples처럼 셀 수 있는 명사가 있고, water, money, time, advice, information처럼 셀 수 없는 명사가 있습니다. 셀 수 없는 명사에는 a도 -s도 붙이지 않습니다. advice와 information은 한국어 느낌으로는 셀 수 있을 것 같아서 자주 틀려요.
2. some = a number or amount (positive) some = 약간, 몇몇 (긍정문)
I have some friends in Canada. / I need some water. Use it with both kinds.
I have some friends in Canada. / I need some water. some은 셀 수 있는 명사와 셀 수 없는 명사 모두에 씁니다.
3. any = even a little (negatives and questions) any = 조금이라도 (부정문·의문문)
I don't have any plans. / Do you have any questions? When offering or asking for something, use some: Would you like some tea?
I don't have any plans. / Do you have any questions? 다만 무언가를 권하거나 부탁할 때는 의문문이어도 some을 씁니다. Would you like some tea?
| Countable | Uncountable |
|---|---|
| a book / two books | money (not moneys) |
| a job | work |
| a suggestion | advice (not an advice) |
| a bag | luggage |
| a fact | information |

- Can you give me advice?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is b) some 정답은 b) some입니다."Advice" is uncountable, so we can't use "a" or "an". We use "some".advice는 셀 수 없는 명사라서 a나 an을 쓸 수 없습니다. 그래서 some이 맞습니다.
