 Hello everyone,

The AEPD (Spanish Data Protection Authority) has launched a new campaign "Lo paras o lo pasas" in order to promote the use of "Canal Prioritario" to report sexually explicit and violent media material.

We are concerned about the effect which pornographic and violent material is having on the behaviour of children and teenagers.

 Hello everybody,

We have learnt that nouns can be countable or uncountable.

Uncountable nouns can't be counted, e.g. salt, chocolate, water, rice, etc.

Look at this table and learn how to use Uncountable nouns in a sentence.

The words some and any are quantifiers. We use them with a noun when we don't know the amount.

We can use them with countable nouns and with uncountable nouns.

Look at these examples:

There's some water in the bottle.

There isn't any cheese in the fridge.

Is there any salt in the bowl? Yes, there is.
