    Countable nouns have both a singular and plural form and refer to things that can be counted, like apples, people, or pencils. Uncountable nouns do not have a plural form and refer to things that generally cannot be counted, like advice, fun, bread, or water. To indicate quantity for uncountable nouns, measurement words are used, such as a cup of coffee, a slice of bread, or a sheet of paper.
