Countable and uncountable nouns

It's important to distinguish between countable and uncountable nouns in


English because their usage is different in regards to both determiners and
verbs.

Countable nouns

Countable nouns are for 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 horse two horses


Singular Plural

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?

Tricky spots
Some nouns are countable in other languages but uncountable in English. They must follow
the rules for uncountable nouns. The most common ones are:
accommodation, advice, baggage, behavior, bread, furniture, information, luggage, news,
progress, traffic, travel, trouble, weather, work

Examples

 I would like to give you some advice.


 How much bread should I bring?
 I didn't make much progress today.
 This looks like a lot of trouble to me.
 We did an hour of work yesterday.

Be careful with the noun hair which is normally uncountable in English, so it is not used in


the plural. It can be countable only when referring to individual hairs.
Examples

 She has long blond hair.


 The child's hair was curly.
 I washed my hair yesterday.
 My father is getting a few grey hairs now. (refers to individual hairs)
 I found a hair in my soup! (refers to a single strand of hair)
Passive voice

Functions of the passive voice

The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that
experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action.
In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the
sentence.

Examples

 The passive voice is used frequently. (= we are interested in the passive


voice, not in who uses it.)
 The house was built in 1654. (= we are interested in the house, not in who
built it.)
 The road is being repaired. (= we are interested in the road, not in the people
who are doing the repairs.)

Sometimes we use the passive voice because we don't know or do not want to
express who performed the action.
Examples

 I noticed that a window had been left open.


 Every year thousands of people are killed on our roads.
 All the cookies have been eaten.
 My car has been stolen!

The passive voice is often used in formal texts. Switching to the active voice
will make your writing clearer and easier to read.

Passive Active

A great deal of meaning is A few well-chosen words convey a


conveyed by a few well-chosen words. great deal of meaning.

Our planet is wrapped in a mass of A mass of gases wrap around our


gases. planet.
Passive Active

Waste materials are disposed of in a The city disposes of waste materials


variety of ways. in a variety of ways.

If we want to say who or what performs the action while using the passive
voice, we use the preposition by. When we know who performed the action and
are interested in him, it is always better to switch to the active voice instead.

Passive Active

"A Hard Day's Night" was written The Beatles wrote "A Hard Day's


by the Beatles. Night".

The movie ET was directed Spielberg directed the movie ET.


by Spielberg.

This house was built by my father. My father built this house.

Using "to be born"


"To be born" is a passive form and is most commonly used in the past tense.
However, in some cases, the present or future tense is appropriate.

Examples

verb to be. A separate page deals with these alternative ways to form the
passive voice.
