¿Qué hay en tu lista de la compra?

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo hacer una lista de la compra eficaz y clara? Esta herramienta es esencial para lograr una experiencia de compra eficiente y para evitar que se olviden artículos importantes durante tu visita al supermercado. En esta guía, descubriremos cómo crear una lista organizada utilizando sustantivos contables e incontables, además de comprender el uso de cuantificadores para aquellos productos que no podemos contar de manera convencional.

¿Cómo expresar deseos en tu lista de la compra?

Los deseos o necesidades juegan un papel importante al hacer una lista de la compra. Para expresar lo que deseas incluir, utilizamos el verbo "querer". Por ejemplo, podrías decir:

  • Quiero comprar queso y pan.
  • También quiero productos frescos como frutas y verduras.

Aquí es esencial tener clara la diferencia entre lo que quieres y lo que realmente necesitas, para mantener una compra eficiente.

¿Qué son los sustantivos contables e incontables?

Sustantivos contables

Los sustantivos contables son aquellos que se pueden contar individualmente. Ejemplos comunes incluyen:

  • Huevos: Pueden ser tres, cuatro, o siete. En tu lista podrías poner "12 huevos".
  • Galletas: Similarmente, puedes tener una o muchas.
  • Manzanas: Un ejemplo es escribir "4 manzanas".

Sustantivos incontables y cuantificadores

En cambio, los sustantivos incontables no pueden ser cuantificados directamente sin el uso de un cuantificador apropiado. Algunas estrategias incluyen:

  • Leche: No decimos "una leche", sino "una caja de leche".
  • Pan: En lugar de "un pan", usamos "dos piezas de pan" o describiendo como rebanadas de pan.
  • Queso y carne: Usamos cuantificadores como "trozo" para el queso y medidas de peso como "500 gramos de carne".

¿Cómo elaborar tu lista de la compra?

Crear una lista de la compra bien estructurada te ayudará a optimizar tu tiempo en el supermercado. Aquí tienes un ejemplo de cómo podrías formularlo:

  1. Caja de cereales
  2. Una caja de leche para los cereales
  3. 100 gramos de queso para diferentes usos
  4. Dos piezas de pan para el desayuno
  5. 4 manzanas para el día a día
  6. 12 huevos para varias recetas

A medida que prepares tu lista de la compra, recuerda priorizar los productos que realmente necesitas y considera las cantidades adecuadas para minimizar el desperdicio de alimentos.

¿Cómo continuar aprendiendo sobre compras efectivas?

Practicar y revisar lo aprendido es clave para perfeccionar nuestras habilidades al crear listas de la compra. No olvides descargar la ficha de trabajo con actividades prácticas para reforzar estos conceptos. Y no te pierdas la próxima clase donde profundizaremos en el uso de preguntas como "¿Cuánto?" y "¿Cuántos?" para manejar cantidades de productos en tu lista. ¡Nos vemos en la próxima clase y recuerda, cada compra bien planeada es un paso hacia una gestión eficiente de tu hogar!

SUMMARY:
The shopping list is a list with all the items you plan on buying in your next visit to the grocery store or the supermarket.
For example: I want to buy cheese and bread. I want to get fresh produce (fruits and vegetables).
Aside from mentioning the things we want to buy, we also have to consider COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS.

  • COUNTABLE NOUNS are the things that you can count. It means that we know that it has a plural form. For instance: I have a couple of eggs.

  • UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS and QUANTIFIERS are the things that aren’t countable nouns. We use a quantifier to express the amount of the uncountable nouns.
    For example: milk is an uncountable noun. We can’t say one milk or four milk, but we can use the container that contains the milk: one carton of milk. Carton allows us to quantify the milk.
    Another example is bread. The quantifiers of bread are the slices. We can cut bread into slices. We can have several slices of bread.
    In the same way we use the quantifier piece for cheese and we use quantifier grams for meat.

What is on your shopping list?
.
2 Pounds of chicken.
1.5 L of oil.
1 Pound of salt.
5 pounds of pears
30 eggs
2 Pounds of potatoes.
3 Pound of tomatoes.

  1. Cheese: Uncountable
  2. Water: Uncountable
  3. Orange: Countable
  4. Hat: Countable
  5. Bred: Uncountable
  6. Egg: Countable

Key Differences:
.
Plurals: Countable nouns have both singular and plural forms, while uncountable nouns typically have only a singular form. For example, you can say “two cats” but not “two happinesses.”
.
Articles: Countable nouns are usually preceded by articles like “a,” “an,” or “the,” and can be used with numbers or quantifiers like “few,” “many,” or “several.” Uncountable nouns may be preceded by “the” or “some,” but they do not typically use “a” or “an.”
.
Quantifiers: Countable nouns can be modified by specific numbers and quantifiers, such as “three cats” or “many friends.” Uncountable nouns are often modified by general quantifiers like “some,” “a lot of,” or “a little.”
.
Measuring Units: Countable nouns can be measured in specific units (e.g., inches, pounds) and are used with phrases like “two meters of fabric” or “five kilograms of sugar.” Uncountable nouns do not have specific units for measurement and are used as a whole, like “a glass of water” or “a bowl of rice.”
