Talk about finding how many things there are or saying numbers in order.
The idea
Use count before the things; use from and to for the first and last numbers. The past is counted.
Examples
- I count the apples in the basket.
- Mina counted twelve chairs after the meeting.
- Can you count from one to ten?
- Our teacher counts the books before class.
- We counted the steps to the door.
- The child is counting the red buses.
