Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are for things we can count using


numbers. They have a singular and a plural form. The
singular form can use the determiner "a" or "an". If
you want to ask about the quantity of a countable
noun, you ask "How many?" combined with the plural
countable noun.

Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot
count with numbers. They may be the names for
abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that
are too small or too amorphous to be counted (liquids,
powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with
a singular verb. They usually do not have a plural form.
We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a
quantity of an uncountable noun, use a word like some,
a lot of, much, a bit of, or else use an exact
measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a
pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about
the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask "How
much?"
