🔍 What Are Countable and Uncountable Nouns?
There are two types of nouns in English:
✅ Countable Nouns
- You can count them (1, 2, 3, etc.).
- They have singular and plural forms.
- You can use “a” or “an” with them.
✔ Examples:
- “A banana” → “Two bananas”
- “An apple” → “Three apples”
- “One chair” → “Many chairs”
✅ Uncountable Nouns
- You cannot count them (no plural form).
- They do not use a/an.
- You need “some,” “a lot of,” or “a little.”
✔ Examples:
- “Milk” → “Some milk” (Not “a milk”)
- “Water” → “A little water” (Not “two waters”)
- “Rice” → “A lot of rice”
📌 How to Use Countable and Uncountable Nouns in Sentences
| Type | Example Sentences |
|---|---|
| ✅ Countable | “I have a book.” / “She ate two apples.” |
| ✅ Uncountable | “Can I have some water?” / “There is a little sugar in my coffee.” |
| ❌ Incorrect | ❌ “I have an information.” (❌ “Information” is uncountable!) Instead, we say: ✅ “I have some information.” ✅ “I have a piece of information.” |
🛑 Common Mistake: Never use “a/an” with uncountable nouns. Instead, use “some,” “a little,” or “a lot of.”
✔ Correct: “I need apples.”
❌ Wrong: “I need an apples.”
