    Countable vs. Uncountable Nouns.

    Countable Nouns
    Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted. Most nouns in English are countable.

    Examples:

     I have two dogs.


     Sandra has three cars.

    Uncountable Nouns
    Uncountable nouns are not counted in English. This usually has to do with the way English
    speakers think of these nouns. We often picture these nouns as a single concept or one big thing
    which is hard to divide.

    Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories:

    Liquids and Gases

    Water, coffee, milk, tea, juice, air, oxygen

    Solid and Granular Substances

    Wood, metal, cheese, sand, rice, sugar, bread

    Energy Words and Forces

    Electricity, heat, magnetism

    Subjects

    French, chemistry

    Grouped Concepts

    Fruit, money, food, vocabulary, news

    Information and Abstract Concepts

    Information, advice, education, democracy, intelligence
