Containers and Partitives Mixed Practice - Easy

Containers and partitives help you count food, drinks, and everyday items that are normally not counted directly. Instead of saying "tea" as one item, say a cup of tea. Instead of "bread" as one item, say a loaf of bread for the whole bread or a slice of bread for one flat piece. This exercise practises common A2 choices such as a glass of water, a bar of chocolate, a bowl of soup, a jar of honey, and a bottle of oil.

The pattern is simple: use a / an or a number + container or partitive + of + noun. The meaning changes with the container or portion word, so choose the word that fits the shape, use, or usual packaging. Hot drinks often use cup or mug, cold drinks often use glass or bottle, and solid food may use slice, bar, block, loaf, or piece. In standard learner English, do not add plural -s to the uncountable noun after the partitive.
