  1. Uncountable Nouns Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more 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. Forexample: 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 piece of news a bottle of water a grain of rice

  6. Introduction Examples Countable nouns are individual objects, people, places, etc. which can be counted. A countable noun can be both singular - a friend, a house, etc. - or plural - a few apples, lots of trees, etc. dog, cat, animal, man, person bottle, box, liter coin, note, dollar cup, plate, fork table, chair, suitcase, bag

  7. Examples • We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns: • When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it: A dog is an animal. I want an orange. (not I want orange.) Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)

  8. Examples • When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone: • We can use some and any with countable nouns: • We can use a few and many with countable nouns: I like oranges. Bottles can break. I've got some dollars. Have you got any pens? I've got a few dollars. I haven't got many pens.
