After all of them fell down, he made his way to get away the place but he had no chance to do that. A dreadful roar came after him. Immediately, he threw his hack and climbed up as fast as he could to the top of the high tree near him. He sat on a branch and looked down. The tiger mother was stepping around baby tigers, roared when she pushed her babies but they didn’t move. Later, she silently moved toward a tree near that place, snatched some leaves chewed then fed her babies. That was a miracle that seconds later, baby tigers revived, waved their tails as if nothing happened before that. Later, tiger mother brought her babies away the place. Cuoi waited for them to disappear in distance, he went down and approached the tree.

Bài 14: Danh từ đếm được số ít và số nhiều và quy tắc thêm chuyển từ danh từ đếm được số ít sang số nhiều.

      Như chúng ta đã biết danh từ thường phân thành nhiều loại nhưng về mặt ngữ pháp bạn chỉ cần biết danh từ gồm hai loại: danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được. Về cơ bản mình sẽ nói qua một chút về danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được vì bài này chủ yếu xoay quanh danh từ đếm được. Về bản chất danh từ đếm được là những từ bạn có thể kiểm soát nó bằng mặt số lượng tức là bạn có thể đếm 1, 2, 3 cái gì đó và nó có sự phân biệt giữa số ít (một) và số nhiều (hơn một) của loại từ này trong ngữ pháp của câu. Ví dụ: I have  bananas và  I have  a banana  có sự khác biệt rõ ràng, bạn có nhận thất mạo từ  “a”  ở trước banana không? Thêm nữa Bananas  are  yellow và a banana  is  yellow bạn có nhận thấy động từ đi kèm có sự khác biệt không; danh từ số nhiều sẽ tương đương vói ư chỉ ngữ they và danh từ số ít sẽ tương đương vói it. Cơ bản là thế. Còn về danh không đếm được thì bạn phải cân, đo, đong như những thứ thuộc chất lỏng, chất rắn, hạt, hay những danh từ mang tính trừu tượn
