Contable nouns
• A noun that is considered by the speakers of a language
  as a separate entity, and possible to count
Examples:
dog, cat, animal, man, person
coin, note, dollar
table, chair, suitcase, bag
   We can count pens. We can have one, two,
              three or more pens.
Countable nouns
A book          three books

A car           cars



An idea         some ideas
• Can be used in the singular or plural.



My dog is playing.




My dogs are hungry.
• We can use the indefinite article a/an with
  countable nouns:



A dog is an animal.
• When a countable noun is singular, we must
   use a word like a/the/my/this with it:
I want an orange. (not I want orange.)




Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)
• When a countable noun is plural, we can use it
  alone:

I like oranges.



Bottles can break.
• We can use some and any with countable
   nouns:
I've got some dollars.




Have you got any pens?
• We can use a few and many with countable
  nouns:

I've got a few dollars.



I haven't got many pens.
Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc
 that we cannot divide into separate elements.
 We cannot "count" them.

Example:
we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles
  of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot
  count "milk" itself.
Uncountable nouns
Sugar             water



Work              oil



flour
• In this case we habe more examples to
  understend the uncountable nouns:

•   music, art, love, happiness
•   advice, information, news
•   furniture, luggage
•   rice, sugar, butter, water
•   electricity, gas, power
•   money, currency
• We usually treat uncountable nouns as
  singular. We use a singular verb. For example:



This news is very important.



Your luggage looks heavy.
• We do not usually use the indefinite article
  a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say
  "an information" or "a music". But we can say
  a something of:
• a bottle of water



• a grain of rice
• We can use some and any with uncountable
  nouns:

I've got some money.



Have you got any rice?
• We can use a little and much with
  uncountable nouns:

I've got a little money.




I haven't got much rice.
