Countable and Uncountable Nouns
Nouns
Grammar explanation.
Nouns can be countable or uncountable. Countable nouns can be counted,
e.g. an apple, two apples, three apples, etc. Uncountable nouns cannot be
counted, e.g. air, rice, water, etc. When you learn a new noun, you should
check if it is countable or uncountable and note how it is used in a sentence.
COUNTABLE NOUNS.
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS.
Son aquellos que tienen una única forma y solo admiten el
verbo en singular.
Is there any bread left?
No podemos usar ‘a’ o ‘an’.
La forma no varía, siempre es bread.
No podemos contarlos sin ayudarnos de otras palabras.
Sería incorrecto decir one bread, two breads. Necesitamos
añadir otras palabras que nos permitan cuantificarlos: a
piece of bread, grain of sugar, a useful bit of advice, etc.
