Last night the people of Egypt were protesting. Why did they feel they needed to do that.
Thanks to Eufrasia. We have a have a copy of these lists to play with online. Did they feel good or bad and why?
On these two lists we find 3 kinds of nouns:
- plurals with no article
- uncountable nouns
- gerunds
Why because we are describing something in a general way
~ Something that makes me feel good:
- Financial security
- Success in my career
- Being happy in my choices
- Being physically fit
- Sleeping well
- Plenty of variety and excitement in my life
- Spending time with your family
- Being in a good relationship
- Keeping busy
- Having time to relax
- Good friendships
- Going out a lot
- Being Creative
- Intellectual stimulation
- Spending money
- Feeling in control of my life and not losing control of my emotions.
~ Something that makes me feel bad:
- Financial worries
- Feeling under too much pressure
- Not sleeping
- Criticism from your colleagues, family, boss, partner, English teacher
- Anxieties about work or college
- Lack of confidence in what you are doing
- Feeling stress
- Eating badly
- Loneliness
- Feeling unfit
- Feeling unfulfilled with my work
- Being controlled or feeling manipulated ( People try to control what I'm doing..... )

How many are uncountable nouns?
How many are gerunds?
