Grammar
Countable nouns are individual objects, people, places, etc. which can be counted: books, Italians,
pictures, stations, men, students, pencils, etc.
A countable noun can be both singular: a friend, a house, etc. and plural: a few apples, lots of trees, etc.
Use the singular form of the verb with a singular countable noun:
There is a notebook on the desk.
That student is excellent!
Use the plural form of the verb with a countable noun in the plural:
There are some students in the classroom.
Those houses are very expensive.
Uncountable nouns are materials, concepts, information, etc. which are not individual objects and
cannot be counted: information, water, understanding, wood, cheese, chocolate, etc.
Uncountable nouns are always singular. Use the singular form of the verb with uncountable nouns:
There is some water in that pitcher.
That is the equipment we use for the project.
Grammar Tip
Some uncountable nouns in English are countable in other languages.
This can be confusing! Here is a list of some of the most common, easy to confuse uncountable nouns:
Obviously, uncountable nouns (especially different types of food) have forms that express plural concepts.
These measurements or containers are countable:
water - a glass of water
equipment - a piece of equipment
cheese - a slice of cheese
