Names common hobbies and free-time activities and groups them into sport, music, art and outdoor categories.
Uses countable and uncountable nouns correctly with much, many, a few and a little.
Expresses preferences with like, love, enjoy and don't mind followed by the -ing form.
Distinguishes do, go and the -ing form when talking about activities.
Makes an invitation, accepts it and refuses it politely with a clear reason.
Reads a short text about weekend plans and identifies what each person does in their free time.

Countable nouns have a plural form, while uncountable nouns such as water, money, advice and information have no plural.
Many is used with countable plurals and much is used with uncountable nouns.
A few means some and gives a positive idea, but few means almost none and sounds negative.
After like, love, enjoy, prefer, mind and finish we use the -ing form of the verb, not the bare infinitive.
The word news is singular in English even though it ends in the letter s, so the singular verb is required after it.
Activities of the fixed go group never take the verb do, and tasks of the do group never take the verb go.
An invitation is answered politely with the phrase I would love to, or refused with No, thanks and a reason.
Hobby nouns are mostly countable, so an article and a plural form are both possible: a hobby and many different hobbies.

Countable nouns take a, an, many, a few, few, these and those: a guitar, two guitars, many hobbies.
Uncountable nouns take much, a little, little, some and this: some water, a little time, much advice.
Unit expressions make an uncountable noun countable: a piece of advice, a piece of furniture, a glass of water.
go + activity for fixed combinations: go swimming, go shopping, go fishing, go hiking, go camping.
like, love, enjoy, prefer and don't mind + verb-ing: I enjoy drawing; she doesn't mind waiting.
would like + infinitive: I'd like to play basketball this weekend.
Invitation: Would you like to join us? — Yes, I'd love to. / No, thanks. I'm afraid I'm busy.
How do you spend your free time? — I spend most of my free time reading.

Using many with an uncountable noun: the combination with water is not English, because water cannot be counted; the correct quantifier for it is much or a little.
Adding a plural ending to an uncountable noun: the plural forms of advice, information and furniture do not exist in English, so a unit expression is used when the noun must be counted.
Adding do to an activity that takes go: the combination with do and shopping or with do and fishing is incorrect, because these two are fixed items with the other verb.
Using the base form after a verb of preference: when the sentence is about an activity, the -ing form is required, so the correct sentence contains that form after the verb.
Confusing a few with few: the version with the article a means some hobbies and is positive, while the version without it means almost no hobbies and sounds negative.
Answering an invitation with a bare negative word: in polite English the reply is a full phrase with a reason, because a single negative word sounds cold and gives no information.

Decide whether the noun is countable before you choose between many and much in the exam.
After a verb such as enjoy always add the -ing form; the base form after to is only used with another verb in front of it.
When a text describes weekend plans, underline the frequency words first and then decide if the plan is a routine.
For invitation questions remember that the short answer is not a plain yes; it is a polite phrase and often needs a reason.
Use every, once, twice and three times with countable activities such as playing a match or going to the gym.
Learn the go and do groups as complete items, because the two verbs cannot be changed for each other.
