Countable nouns are nouns that can be
counted as individual items. They have
both singular and plural forms.
You can use numbers and articles like
“a” or “an” with them.

UNCOUNTABLE
Uncountable nouns, also known as mass
nouns, refer to things that cannot be
counted as individual items. They do not
have a plural form and are often
substances, concepts, or collective
categories.

QUANTIFIERS
We use much and many when we want to express the
idea of a great quantity, a lot. The difference between
using one or the other lies in whether the noun they
accompany is countable or uncountable.
Many: used with plural countable nouns. Much: used
with uncountable nouns.
Example: There isn’t much sugar left in the jar.
There are many books on the shelf.
MUCH-MANY
We use "some" and "any" when we want to express a
indeterminate quantity when we refer to a noun. Both "some"
and "any" are used with plural count nouns and with non-count
nouns.
Some: used in affirmative and interrogative sentences.
Any: used in interrogative and negative sentences
Examples: I haven’t received any emails from my boss.
Would you like some coffee?
SOME - ANY
As a rule we can say that a lot of and lots of are used to talk
about a great quantity in affirmative sentences and
accompanying countable and uncountable nouns, although
there are some exceptions in the use of these quantifiers. The
difference between using a lots of or lots of depends on the
context in which they are used.
Example: I have made a lot of mistakes in my life.
Lots of people came to the house to see the new baby.
A LOT OF- LOTS OF
Like little and a little are used to express little
quantity, but in this case, they are used only with
countable nouns. Similarly, using few or a few
depends on the connotation.
Examples: Few cities in the world can compete with
Paris.
I just need a few hours to finish my book.
FEW - A FEW
Both are used to express the idea of little quantity and are
only used with uncountable nouns. Using little or a little
depends on the connotation you want to give it, whether it is
positive or negative.
Little: we use it to express that it is little and not enough.
A little: we use it to say that although it is a small amount, it
is enough.
Examples:I have little money, I can’t buy a new car.
She saves a little money every month.
LITTLE-A LITTLE
