Seven is what I was taught, but I like @Ponderable's answer.

By conventional standards there are seven continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia/Oceania, and Antarctica. Some scientists add an eighth, Zealandia, most of which is under water in the South Pacific. Zealandia's area is nearly 2 million square miles (5 million square kilometers) — about half the size of Australia.
Most sources say 7 continents. I believe that question was once on Jeopardy when the host was Alex Trebek, I watched that show a lot!

That is ok...I am not that good at English either according to majority on the site.

I am ok with that though, long as I get my point across is what matters.
