Countable/Uncountable Nouns
Grammar Rules
Countable and Uncountable Nouns
C ountable nouns are nouns that we can count. Uncountable nouns are nouns that we cannot count. C ountable nouns have singular and plural forms. Uncountable nouns do not have plural forms. C ountable nouns can take a/an/the, some, or numbers before them. Uncountable nouns can take the or some before them. Do NOT use a/an or numbers before them.
Example
the table, some telephones, a teacher, five forks the cheese, some sugar, a coffee (), two meat ()
Example
Uncountable nouns always use a third person singular verb. There is water in my cup. () a loaf of bread There are water in my cup. () To make uncountable nouns countable, use partitives before them.
