Describe what is in a lunch bag

Use have got with I, you, we and they; has got with he, she and it. Make negatives with haven't got or hasn't got. Move have or has to the front for a question: Have you got a sandwich? Yes, I have. Has he got milk? No, he hasn't.

Bread, rice, milk and water are normally uncountable in these food meanings. Say some water or a bottle of water. Use a or an for one countable item: a sandwich, an apple. Number words include twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety and one hundred. Write twenty-one with a hyphen.

Read and explain this example

My lunch bag is green. I've got an egg sandwich, an apple and a bottle of water. My friend has got some rice. She hasn't got a drink. Our class has twenty-four lunch bags.

Count food items and containers accurately

A bottle is countable, but water is not normally counted as individual waters in this beginner meaning. You can say two bottles of water, not two water. An apple is one countable item, so two apples takes a plural s. This distinction makes a lunch description clearer: I've got two apples and a bottle of water. When reading a number, notice the ending: forty and fourteen are different words.

Two girls in a classroom illustrate Have you got an apple and Has she got water, with the answers Yes, I have and No, she has not.
Write forty, eighty and twenty-one carefully.

Have got and have are two patterns. Ask Have you got milk? or Do you have milk? Avoid Do you have got milk? Write forty, without a u.
