COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUN

Countable and Uncountable Noun

~How to distinguish countable and uncountable noun~

● Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens.

● Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself.
