| Corrected Learner Example | Near my home there are some shops. (Portuguese, A1 BREAKTHROUGH, Pass, 2009) My house has got three rooms. (Polish, A1 BREAKTHROUGH, Pass, 2009) I had a lot of friends in this town. (A1 BREAKTHROUGH; 2007; Pashto; Pass) For homework we have to write lots of things. (A1 BREAKTHROUGH; 2007; ; Pass) |
| Uncorrected Learner Example | |
| Comments | Note that 'some', 'a lot of', and 'lots of' can be used with uncountable nouns too, but there is not enough evidence of successful use with uncountables at A1. |
