    Countable (or just count) nouns can be made plural: a tree two trees; a man plural: tree trees; man men; pony ponies. men; a pony ponies. In the singular, they may have the determiner a or an: a sausage; an an: sausage; asterisk. asterisk. We ask: How many words/pages/chairs? ask: We say: A few minutes/friends/chips? say:

     Uncountable (or non-count) nouns cannot be made plural. We cannot say: two funs, three advices or five furnitures.  We never use a or an with them.  We ask: How much money/time/milk? (Not How many?)  We say: A little help/effort. (Not A few.)

    Remember that both countable and uncountable nouns can be divided into concrete and abstract nouns.

    The distinction between concrete and abstract nouns is the most important one of all when you are analysing linguistic data. A lot of abstract nouns in a text will have a big impact on its register.

    Concrete nouns are the words that most people think of as nouns. They are mostly the names of objects and animals (countable) and substances or materials. Examples : Cake,, iron, boy, dog, pen, glass, cat , cow , earthworm and door are all concrete nouns.

    name people, places, and things. One class of nouns is concrete. You can experience this group of nouns with your five senses: you see them, hear them, smell them, taste them, and feel.

    Check out the following example: Reliable, Diane's beagle, licked strawberry ice cream off her chin. Ice cream, for example, is a concrete noun. You can see the pink. You can taste the berry flavor. You can feel your tongue growing numb from the cold. Any noun that you can experience with at least one of your five senses is a concrete noun.

    Abstract nouns name ideas, feelings and qualities. Most, though not all, are uncountable. Many are derived from adjectives and verbs and have characteristic endings such as ity, -ness, -ence, and -tion. They are harder to recognise as nouns than the concrete variety.
