4. Some nouns are countable and some nouns
are uncountable.

5. COUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable nouns are the nouns we can
count.
If there is only one (singular noun) we use a
or an in front of it.
e.g. a lemon, an apple
If there is more than one ( plural noun) we
usually add –s to the noun.
e.g. apples, lemons

6. If we want to ask about the quantity of a countable noun we
use the phrase, how many?
e.g. How many apples do you want?

7. UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
Uncountable nouns are nouns we cannot or do
not count.
They are always in the singular form so we never
use a or an with them.
However, we can use quantity words with them.
e.g. a bag of, a cup of….

8. If we want to talk about quantity we use the
phrase how much
e.g. How much sugar do you want in your tea?

9. NOTE
Some nouns can be countable or
uncountable.
This depends on if we are talking about a
specific item or in general.
e.g. Let’s buy two peppers (countable)
Let’s buy peppers. (uncountable)
