The document discusses countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns refer to objects that can be counted individually, like apples or chairs. They have both singular and plural forms. Uncountable nouns refer to substances or abstract concepts that cannot be counted, like pasta, sugar or news. They only have a singular form. However, uncountable nouns can sometimes be used in a countable way when referring to a specific quantity or container of the substance.

4. Separate objects, people or concepts
We can count countable nouns. They are separate objects
Examples:
Dog, apple, chair, house, plate, sandwich, television and many
more..
-countable nouns have a singular and plural form:
-The apple is very nice - The apples are very nice.
-We can use the article “a/an” in the singular
-I have an apple -He served me a sandwich
-We use “some ” only in the plural
-Can I have some chairs? –Can I have some chair? X
a

5. - The names of materials, liquids, concepts, collections, mass objects
without boundaries.
- We cannot count uncountable nouns. They are not separate
objects.

-Uncountable nouns only have a singular form. We use a singular
verb:
The pasta is very nice The pasta are very nice X

8. Sometimes we use uncountable nous like a
countable noun
Example “water ”
Water is an uncountable noun because it is a liquid. We
cannot count water.
We say: “ Do you want some water? ”
We do not say: “ Do you want a water? ”
But....
If we are talking bout a glass of water , then we can say:
Do you want a glass of water?
It is because glass is a countable noun. (Water is still
uncountable )
Other examples: bowl of rice
slice of bread
piece of cheese
