There are two types of nouns in English.

Some nouns are countable: they have a

singular and a plural form (benda yang bisa dihitung = apel, pulpen, laptop)
We see countable nouns as separate items. The singular form of countable nouns
needs an article: a/an.

Sebuah = a / an
A + huruf mati (konsonan)
An + huruf hidup (vokal/vowel)

A/an one thousand.

One - WAN

• We have ... a potato. (plural form: potatoes)

• There are three onions here. (singular form: an onion)

Some nouns are uncountable: they only have a singular form. (Benda yang tidak
bisa dihitung, = rambut, pasir, gula, garam)
We do not see uncountable nouns as separate items. We cannot use a plural
form with uncountable nouns, and we cannot use the article a/an.
• I think we need bread.
• I like honey.
• I think we also need sparkling water.

Food = uncountable = we have much food.

I have much hair.
 - Yes, we have some onions. / I want some honey.
- No, we don’t have any apples. / We don’t have any bread.
- Do we have any onions? / Do we need any sparkling water?

No, I don’t have any money. V

Sejumlah = some / any
Some = kalimat positif
Any = kalimat negatif dan pertanyaan

We can also use lots of or a lot of to describe a large amount (banyak).

• We have a lot of eggs. (We have lots of eggs.)

• If we get lots of lettuce, then I can make a salad... (If we get a lot of lettuce...)

Banyak, tapi

Many + countable noun (bisa dihitung)

- I have many books

Much + uncountable noun (tidak bisa dihitung)

- I have much money

Saya punya banyak roti di rumah tapi kakak saya tidak punya banyak buah di
rumah.
I have much bread in my house but my sister doesn’t have many fruits in her
house.
Can – bisa / kaleng
