Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural (more than one) form. The singular form can use "a" or "an" (remember yesterday's post about articles? Of course you do!). Asking questions about countable nouns are usually with "How many?"
Singular - one desk. Plural - two desks.
Singular - one man. Plural - two men.
Singular - one idea. Plural - two ideas.
Uncountable nouns are for things that we cannot count with numbers. They are often the names for abstract ideas or qualities, or physical objects that are very small (rice, liquids, gases). They usually do not have a plural form.
Examples are: tea, sugar, water, knowledge, love, money, research, information.
And yes, this is the part of the post where I give you some links to exercises that you can do at your leisure. It wouldn't be a post without the chance to practice the topic of the day, would it? :)
Enjoy your weekend! :)
Thanks so much
