You can also visit this website to learn English. This website is made to share English reference to all students around the world.
Well, in this occasion, I will give explanation about Countable and Uncountable Nouns.
Do you ever hear about this material before? If you are not, please pay attention my explanation about this material and read this material carefully. Oke, check this out.
Countable and uncountable nouns
You will learn about countable and uncountable nouns. but before you continue the lesson, look at the following chart and study the nouns.
Countable | Uncountable |
books | money |
friends | meat |
teachers | juice |
tables | milk |
Countable nouns (count nouns):
Countable nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural, these nouns can be used with a number- they can be counted. (That’s why they are called “countable nouns”).
Example:
1 friend, 2 friends, 3 friends…
1 book, 2 books, 3 books…
Countable nouns take many.
Example:
100 friends – many friends
Uncountable nouns (uncount / non-count nouns):
Uncountable nouns can only be used in singular. These nouns cannot be used with a number- they can’t be counted. (That’s why they are called “uncountable nouns”).
Examples:
I have a lot of money. (Not 1000 money)
You say I drink a lot of milk. (Not 5 milk)
Uncountable nouns take much.
Example:
100 money – much money
Note: Of course you can count money, milk, meat; but then you would use the currency, liter, kilo, glass,…and say that you have got:
- 5 euros or dollars… (but not 5money).
- 2 liters, pints, glasses… of milk (but not 2 milk)
- 3 kilos… of meat (but not 3 meat)
- 10 bottles of mineral water… (but not 10 mineral water)
