🔍 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

🛑 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.”
