 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.

We use A/AN (articles) with singular countable nouns.

A is used when the next word starts with a consonant sound.

AN is used when the next word starts with a vowel sound.
