Primary Grammar: Countable, Uncountable

Countable nouns are nouns that we can count using numbers. They have
both a singular and plural form. You can ask “how many…” when
combined with the plural noun.
One dog One boy One house One ball
Two dogs Two boys Two houses Two balls
Three dogs Three boys Three houses Three balls

Uncountable nouns are for things we cannot count with numbers.


Uncountable verbs do not have a plural form. You can ask “how much…”
when combined with an uncountable noun.
water air rice
ice cream time homework

When using uncountable nouns, we need to say the exact measurement


or use a word/expression like ‘some’, ‘a lot of’, ‘much’.

• I like to drink a lot of water.

• I need two scoops of ice cream.

• I have too much homework.

• I will have one bowl of rice.
