Countable and Uncountable Nouns

 Countable nouns are things that can be
  counted. That means there can be more
  than one of them.
  When a countable noun is singular, the
  article a/an is often use with it.

 Uncountable nouns are things that cannot
  be counted.
  They have only a singular form, when
  they are indefinite, we may use the word
  some instead of an article.
Count Nouns Uncountable Nouns
  An apple        Bread
  A banana       Cheese
   A carrot       Coffee
  A cookie         Juice
   An egg          Meat
  An onion          Milk
 An orange         Rice
   A peach        Sugar
    A pie         Water
How much?/How many?
 In questions we use how much to ask
  about the amount of something.
 We use how many to ask about the
  number of things.


        How many + countable noun + C?



        How much   +   uncountable noun   +   C?
Examples:

 How much orange juice do we have?
  One liter. (We want to know the amount).
 How many oranges do we need?
  Nine. (We want to know the number).
 How much water do you need?
  I need two bottles of water.
 How many tomatoes do we need?
  We need two tomatoes.
