When do I Use "A" and "The"? Understanding Count vs. Non-Count Nouns
Hello Fellow Esteemed ESL Teachers!
Today we are talking about the elusive "a" and "the". When do you use them? When do you leave them out? What the heck is a count and a noncount noun anyway?
Ah, your questions are about to be answered...finally!
Count vs. Noncount Nouns
Count nouns are countable, which means that you can use numbers with them.
EXAMPLE: 3 cats, 5 tables, 10 coins
Noncount nouns cannot be counted
air (not 1 air), information (not 3 informations), furniture (not 5 furnitures)
Noncount nouns can be counted if you use measure words
2 tanks of air, 3 books of information, 5 pieces of furniture
When to use "A"
Use a when you have a single count noun.
EXAMPLE: A dog is a great pet.
Do not use "A" with non-count nouns
EXAMPLE: Money is important (not "a" money)
When to put an "s" after nouns?
Plural Count Nouns need "s"
EXAMPLE: There are 3 dogs.
Non-Count nouns do not need an "s" and are grammatically singular
EXAMPLE: There is money. (use "is" instead of "are")
Put an "s" after count nouns when making generalizations
EXAMPLE: Dogs are great pets.
Some and A Lot
Count and Non-count nouns both use "some"
EXAMPLE: Some pens (count nouns need "s")....some furniture....some mail
Count and Non-count nouns both use "some"
EXAMPLE: A lot of birds (count noun...so has "s") are flying to see a lot of people (non-count).
Many and A Few
Many and A Few are used with Count Nouns
EXAMPLE: I have many books.
EXAMPLE 2: I have a few pencils.
Much and A Little
Much and A Little are used with Non-Count Nouns
EXAMPLE: I don't have much coffee.
EXAMPLE 2: I have a little money.
When to use "the"
Use "the" when you and the audience knows what you are talking about, you both know the context
EXAMPLE: The party is going to be on Tuesday (The speaker and listener already know there is going to be a party and what exact party it is)
REMEMBER - IF YOU FIND THIS CHALLENGING, THEN READ THE GRAMMAR LESSON BEFORE YOUR STUDENTS
I took the info in this post from Basic English Grammar, Third Edition (Full Student Book with Audio CD and Answer Key)

Health and Fitness Resources
Hello fellow ESL Teachers, Tutors and Friends,
Welcome to ESL Teacher! Thank you for your visit. This post and the links on it could change your life.
This post is a centered on Health and Fitness, and was inspired by my recent experience at a Peak Potentials Seminar called Extreme Health...which I highly recommend you attend. My wonderful friend Yoshiko wanted me to tell her what happened at the event, so this will be a summary of what I saw. Please feel free to share these resources! Below is a quick video explaining this post and also on how to have sound sleep:
I have always felt that it is important to take care of all aspects of our lives, and pay particular attention not only to teaching and to my career, but also to my health. If you have been a student or a teacher long enough, you will come to find that many students don't do well in class because of lack of sleep, poor diet or lack of exercise. When we are healthy we learn faster, retain more and enjoy our studies, wouldn't you agree?
As ESL teachers, we are better able to teach with energy and become role models for our ESL students. After all, if our students like us and look up to us in terms of our character and our health, they will naturally learn more from us.
Please select from the links below to learn more and get a summary of the information that I tried to absorb during that packed 4 day all day seminar. Thank you T Harv Eker!

Run to a Corner Game for Kindergarten Students
Hello Fellow ESL Teachers!
Welcome and thank you for visiting ESL Teacher today! We really appreciate it =)
Today I want to introduce a game to help kindergarten students learn English and exercise.
Method
1) Put words that you want the students to learn in the corners of the room. One word in each corner.
2) Tell the students to run to the corner with the correct word.
3) Say a word and watch them run and have fun.
4) Say another word, and so on.
NOTE: this game is noisy and you have to clear the space so that the kids have enough room to run around safely.
ENJOY THE GAME!

Simple Present Tense
Hello ESL Teachers, Tutors and fellow Educators!
Welcome to ESL Teacher! Today, I'm giving you a quick lesson on the SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE. If you think it's used to talk about now, think again!
This is the first lesson in a series to teach English verb tenses. After watching the video, you will understand and be able to explain the simple present tense to your ESL students.
Summary of the Simple Present Tense for ESL teachers:
1) The Simple Present Tense is used when describing facts or truths, habits, recurring events or states of being (it was true yesterday and true today and likely will be true tomorrow).
EX: I am a teacher. (fact or truth)
Dogs are animals. (fact or truth)
She smokes. (habits)
I clean the house on Saturdays. (recurring event)
My shirt is blue. (state of being)
2) The Simple Present Tense is used during sports events, said at the same time (roughly) that the event happens.
EX: He shoots! He scores!
3) The Simple Present Tense is used to talk about a specified date in the future!
EX: I go to the doctor at 3.

Dictation Race Game for the ESL Classroom
Hello fellow ESL Teachers, ESL Tutors and Happy Followers!
Thank you so much for visiting ESL Teacher. You are loved and appreciated!!!
Today, let's talk about a fun classroom activity for almost any level of students!
Method:
1) Pick out a conversation, preferably on a CD or other audio recording. Interchange is a good ESL textbook with a lot of conversations.
2) Write the names of the people talking in the dialogue on the board for each line of the dialogue. Write the names twice, one on each side of the board, so that two teams can write at the same time.
EXAMPLE:
John:
Sally:
John:
Sally:
John:
3) Divide the class into two teams, line them up with the first person holding a whiteboard marker and ready to write.
4) Play the CD once, tell the students to write what they hear.
5) The next student comes up, gets the marker, play the CD again.
6) Keep rotating students until every student has gotten a try.
7) Compare the teams' work. Who is more accurate? Correct any mistakes you find for both teams.
8) Congratulate the winners!

How to Effectively Use the Board
Hello ESL Teachers, ESL Students and Supporters!
Thanks for visiting ESL Teacher, a truly AWESOME resource for ESL teachers and ESL learners!
Today, let's discuss how to use the board in the ESL classroom.
Tips:
1) Write only new information on the board, do not copy the book onto the board.
2) Use the board to help with pronunciation if needed: write a word and then break it into parts, underline the parts or separate them with lines.
3) If you say a word or a sentence the students don't all understand, write it on the board and explain it to the students.
4) Use the board to keep you focused. Be sure that if you say something that is not in the book, then write it on the board. If you are writing words that are off topic or too complicated, or just too many new words on the board, you know that you need to be more careful with the words you are using.
5) Be sure you write clearly! Check your legibility.
6) Be sure to spell the words correctly. Check your writing!

Speaking Slowly in the Beginning ESL Classroom
Welcome ESL Teachers, ESL Tutors, and Supporters!
Thank you for visiting ESL Teacher, the most happening ESL place on the internet!
Today, let's talk about speaking slowly in the beginning ESL Classroom.
I usually speak slower when teaching ESL beginners, as it is difficult for them to understand what I am saying.
Tips:
1) For the elementary ESL learner, speak slowly. Focus on individual words and use pictures, pointing or gestures to convey the meaning until the students understand.
2) For the elementary ESL learner, pause between words. This gives them time to understand one word at a time.
3) For the intermediate ESL learner, speak normally first. Then slow your words down until you have everyone understanding.
4) For the advanced ESL learner, speak normal speed. You can slow down if they have difficulty pronouncing a word.
Just imagine if you were learning a foreign language...would you want the ESL teacher to speak slowly?
Hope this was helpful! Please leave your comments!
