    LESSON No.

    1: COUNTABLE AND
    UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
    COUNTABLE NOUNS

    Countable nouns are things we can count using numbers. They have a singular
    and a plural form. The singular form can use the determiner "a" or "an". If you want
    to ask about the quantity of a countable noun, you ask "How many?" combined
    with the plural countable noun.

    Singular Plural

    one dog two dogs

    one horsetwo horses

    one man two men

    one idea two ideas

    one shop two shops

    Examples

     She has three dogs.


     I own a house.
     I would like two books please.
     How many friends do you have?

    Uncountable nouns
    Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They
    may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too
    small or too amorphous to be counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable
    nouns are used with a singular verb. They usually do not have a plural form.
    Examples

     tea
     sugar
     water
     air
     rice
     knowledge
     beauty
     anger
     fear
     love
     money
     research
     safety
     evidence

    We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable


    noun, use a word or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of ,
    or else use an exact measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful
    of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about the quantity of an
    uncountable noun, you ask "How much?"
     
    Examples

     There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.


     He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.
     Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?
     He did not have much sugar left.
     Measure 1 cup of water, 300g of flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
     How much rice do you want?
