Grammar
Are those...? When reffering to pieces.
What would be the correct grammar pattern for reffering to pieces of something (in a bowl/plate etc)?
e.g.: (referring to pieces of apples)
Are those apples? Sounds wrong to me.
Is that apple? This one sounds correct, as it refers to the class "apple," but this is for young learners EFL use, and the abstract notion of "class" may be too confusing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
