Nouns can be countable, uncountable, or both countable and uncountable.
Countable nouns Countable nouns are nouns that you can count. This means you can have a singular and plural form. For example, one apple or two apples. Remember: with singular, countable nouns there is always an article. An apple, my apple, the apple, this apple, etc (not just "apple".) Uncountable nouns Uncountable nouns are nouns that you cannot count. This means that there is no plural form. Uncountable nouns are usually: concepts (life, love, happiness, peace, advice, information. time, money) materials and substances (wood, paper, iron, bread) liquids (water, coffee) Both countable and uncountable nouns Some nouns can be both: coffee (uncountable) "Coffee is a popular drink." a coffee / two coffees (countable) "I'd like a coffee and two teas, please." paper (uncountable) "We produce paper in our factory." a paper (countable) "The Guardian is a paper from the UK." wood (substance) "The desk is made from wood." a wood (lots of trees) "I live near a wood."
