Countable nouns

Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They
have a singular and a plural form. The singular form can use the
determiner "a" or "an". If you want to ask about the quantity of a
countable noun, you ask "How many?" combined with the plural
countable noun.

Singular Plural
one dog two dogs
one horse two horses
one man two men
one idea two ideas
one shop two shops

Examples
•She has three dogs.
•I own a house.
•I would like two books please.
•How many friends do you have?
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.

Examples
•tea
•sugar
•water
•air
•rice
•knowledge
•beauty
•anger
•fear
•love
•money
•research
•safety
•evidence
We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an
uncountable noun, use a word or expression like some, a lot of,
much, a bit of, a great deal of , or else use an exact measurement
like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an
hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about the quantity of an
uncountable noun, you ask "How much?"

Examples

•There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.

•He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.

•Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?

•He did not have much sugar left.

•Measure 1 cup of water, 300g of flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

•How much rice do you want?


Tricky spots

Some nouns are countable in other languages but uncountable in

English. They must follow the rules for uncountable nouns. The

most common ones are:

accommodation, advice, baggage, behavior, bread, furniture,

information, luggage, news, progress, traffic, travel, trouble,

weather, work

Examples
•I would like to give you some advice.
•How much bread should I bring?
•I didn't make much progress today.
•This looks like a lot of trouble to me.
•We did an hour of work yesterday.
Be careful with the noun hair which is normally uncountable in

English, so it is not used in the plural. It can be countable only

when referring to individual hairs.

Examples

•She has long blond hair.

•The child's hair was curly.

•I washed my hair yesterday.

•My father is getting a few grey hairs now. (refers to individual

hairs)

•I found a hair in my soup! (refers to a single strand of hair)
