1. Countable Nouns: Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted as one or more. An "s" is usually added to make the word plural. Uncountable nouns are nouns that cannot be counted. They usually express a group or a type.

Countable nouns work with expressions such as (a few, few, many, some, every, each, these, and the number of):

  • A few computers
  • Many bottles

  • Every desk
  • Each cup
  • Many shoes
  • The number of chairs

2. Uncountable Nouns: Uncountable nouns usually express a group or a type such as liquids. Uncountable nouns are also used for things that are too numerous to count such as sand and rice:

  • Water
  • Wood
  • Ice
  • Air
  • Oxygen
  • Traffic
  • Furniture
  • Milk

  • The sunshine is beautiful.
  • I drink milk.
  • He eats rice.
  • We need oxygen.
  • The wood is burning.

Uncountable nouns work with expressions such as (some, any, enough, this, that, and much):

  • We ate some rice and milk.
  • I hope to see some sunshine today.
  • This meat is good.
  • He does not have much furniture.
  • Do you see any traffic on the road?
  • That wine is very old.
