(CESGRANRIO - 1997)
LAUGHTER is an uncountable noun. Mark the sentence below that shows the correct usage of countable and uncountable nouns:
I’ll have just a bread for dinner.
John has fewer money than Paul.
Can you give me an advice?
I need some informations.
My mother is in very good health.
Gabarito:
My mother is in very good health.
[E]
a) I’ll have just a bread for dinner. >> Incorreta: "bread" é uncountable, logo não pode receber o artigo "a";
b) John has fewer money than Paul. >> Incorreta: "Money" é uncountable, logo deve ser utilizado o quantificador comparativo "less" e não "fewer".
c) Can you give me an advice? >> Incorreta: "Advice" é uncountable, logo não deve ser definido por artigo.
d) I need some informations. >> Incorreta: "Information" é uncountable, logo não deve ser pluralizado.
e) My mother is in very good health.>> Correta: não há nenhum desvio com relação ao uncountable noun "health"
