Food Words: Fruits and Vegetables
Sometimes, we learn words for fruits and vegetables together because they are all important foods. In English, some foods are called 'fruits' and some are called 'vegetables'.
Here are some other food words you might learn:
- A carrot is a long, orange vegetable. I eat carrots.
- A pea is a small, green, round vegetable. Peas are small.
- A potato is a round vegetable that grows in the ground. I like potatoes.
It's okay to learn them all as 'food words' for now!
Using 'a' or 'an' with Fruit Names
In English, we use a или an before singular nouns. This is important for Pre-A1 learners.
- Использование a before words that start with a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, g, etc.). For example: a banana, a pear, a kiwi.
- Использование an before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). For example: an apple.
Remember, we do not use a или an with plural words like grapes.
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| an apple | apples |
| a banana | bananas |
| a carrot | carrots |
| a coconut | coconuts |
| a grape | grapes |
| a kiwi | kiwis |
