Countable Nouns
- They can be counted (1, 2, 3, etc.).
- When you have 1, you can use “a” or “an”.
- When you have more than 1, you make it
plural by adding “s”. (However, there are
many exceptions. For example, children is
the plural of child.)

you cannot have 1, 2, 3, etc.

Useful trick! “A lot of”

When you can’t remember if you should use


“much” or “many”, just use “a lot of”.

“A lot of” works for both countable and


uncountable nouns 😁

Examples:
- I have a lot of friends.
- I don’t have a lot of knowledge about that
topic.
