Lesson goals

By the end you will…

  • Use UNCOUNTABLE nouns (traffic, advice, information, luggage, news, research) with singular verbs and no article 'a'.
  • Handle nouns that behave differently in English than in your language (accommodation, furniture, homework).
  • Use PLURAL-ONLY nouns (police, people, clothes, jeans, scissors) with plural verbs.
  • Build new words with common PREFIXES (over-, under-, mis-, re-, dis-, un-) and SUFFIXES (-able, -ness, -ity, -ise/ize, -less, -ful).
  • Predict where the stress falls when a prefix or suffix is added.
  • Describe a megacity using precise B2 vocabulary of urbanisation and quality of life.
