Assumptions Students have worked with pieces of vocabulary and singular and plural nouns and
uncountable nouns in the previous grades. So, they already have a little bit of
vocabulary to be able to understand the definitions and usages of them.

Potential - Some students didn't pay attention to the previous grades and have nothing
problems on the subject.
- Students may not come up with any ideas about singular and plural nouns
and uncountable nouns.

Possible - I will warm up the lesson with a few pieces of singular and plural nouns
solutions and uncountable nouns by Vietnamese so that students can get some ideas
to connect with what will be used in the new lesson.
- I will suggest to students by describing objects in order that they can guess
and find out a theory web about singular and plural nouns and uncountable
nouns.
