FOOD partitives
● To count or quantify an uncountable noun we need to use a unit of measurement. For example, if we want to specify a quantity of milk, we need to use words like “carton", "bottle”, “glass”… The structure “a carton of milk” is called partitive structure. ● The word " partitive " indicates that only "part" of a whole is being referred to. ● This structure can also be used with countable nouns, for example: a packet of biscuits.
