Contable - Uncontable (Contables e Incontables)

A noun renames a person, place or thing. If a noun is viewed as countable if:
• A or an can be used in front of it : a table, an egg
• It has a plural form : there are two tables
• It can be used in a question with how many: How many rooms are there?
• A number can be used before it: four computers

If a noun is viewed as uncountable:
• a/an cannot be used in front of it: Cereal is healthy
• it does not have a plural form: I like butter (NOT BUTTERS)
• it can be in a question with how much: How much sugar would you like?
• a number isn’t used in front of it: It has little caffeine.
• it always takes a “singular” verb: Milk is good for you.


We can't count the liquds and meat.

arre borriquito

Tengo puesto un nacimiento
en un rincón de mi casa
con pastores y pastores
y un palacio en la montaña
allí vive el rey Herodes
allí viven sus soldados
todos están esperando
que lleguen los Reyes Magos

Arre borriquito, arre burro, arre
anda más de prisa que llegamos tarde
arre borriquito vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta y al otro también

En el cielo hay una estrella
que a los Reyes Magos guía
hacia Belén para ver a Dios hijo de Maria
cuando pasan los monarcas
salen la gente al camino
alegre se van con ellos
para ver al tierno Niño

Arre borriquito, arre burro, arre
anda más de prisa que llegamos tarde
arre borriquito vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta y al otro también

Arre borriquito, arre

Hacia el portal de Belén
se dirige un pastorcito
cantando de esta manera
para alegrar el camino
ha nacido el niño Dios
en un portal miserable
para enseñar a los hombres
la humildad de su linaje

CHRISTMAS (NAVIDAD)

                         


Christmas (Latin: Nativitas, "birth")? is one of the most important Christian festivals, along with Easter and Pentecost, which celebrates the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. This feast is celebrated on December 25 by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, some other Protestant churches and the Romanian Orthodox Church, and on January 7 in other Orthodox Churches, and who did not accept the reforms made to the Julian calendar, to pass to our current calendar, called the Gregorian, the name of reformer, Pope Gregory XIII.Anglophones use the term Christmas, which means' mass (mass) of Christ. " In some Germanic languages such as German, the party called Weihnachten, meaning 'Night of Blessing'. The Christmas festivities are proposed, as its name suggests, celebrate the nativity (ie birth) of Jesus of Nazareth.Although some historians historic celebration of Christmas should be in spring (April-May), and others, following the story of Luke 2:8, indicating that night of the birth of Jesus, the shepherds tending flocks to outdoors and the sky was full of stars, it is unlikely that this event had happened in the winter (northern hemisphere). The Christian Church held on 25 December at the conventional, as in the spring or fall, the Church celebrates Easter.
