4
30160
7520
00:39
live as a verb and live as an adjective so let's  begin first let's look at life as a countable  
5
39040
11200
00:50
noun countable means you can count it so here  the definition of life as a countable noun is the  
6
50240
11280
01:01
whole of a person's existence right we often  talk about my life your life and so on we're  
7
61520
8320
01:09
talking about our whole existence so let's  look at this countable noun in two forms  
8
69840
7120
01:18
first let's look at it in the singular form right  one life so we might use it in a sentence like  
9
78080
8560
01:26
my grandmother had a difficult life  or her life was difficult right  
10
86640
6480
01:33
so here we're talking about her existence  her whole existence and adding that adjective  
11
93920
6720
01:40
difficult she had a difficult life  right something we can count one life
12
100640
5680
01:48
next i love my life right so here we're  talking about my whole existence i love my life
13
108880
7440
01:58
second let's look at it in the plural  form so when we're talking about  
14
118720
4000
02:03
lives so let's begin again with using an  adjective here they had interesting lives  
15
123440
9360
02:14
or my friends worked in new york for their entire  lives so here pay attention to the pronunciation  
16
134080
7760
02:22
we can say life right my life your life a  difficult life her life and so on or lives in  
17
142640
10640
02:33
the plural form they had interesting lives they  worked in new york for their entire lives okay  
18
153280
8160
02:43
now let's look at life as an uncountable  noun this will refer to a particular way of  
19
163360
7840
02:51
living or the concept or idea of life in  general so let's take a look at some examples  
20
171200
6560
02:59
you may have heard these terms before  do you prefer city life or country life  
21
179280
6720
03:06

22
186720
6400
03:13
life like in the city maybe it's very busy  um there are more shops and businesses and  
23
193840
8320
03:22
and schools and so on or country life right  maybe life generally is slower and so on  
24
202160
8640
03:30
so here we're looking at a particular way of  living do you prefer city life or country life
25
210800
7200
03:40
next he has experienced much of life so here  we're looking at life as a concept right life  
26
220320
10000
03:50
in general he has experienced much of life  so when we think of life in the as an idea  
27
230880
8880
03:59
and all the many things you can do in life he has  experienced much of life he has done many things  
28

32
272080
10000
04:42
what life would be if it's good she is living the  good life so here we see because it is uncountable
