NOUNS
A noun refers to the name of a person, place, thing, animal or idea.
Kinds of Nouns
You have learned previously that the two basic kinds of nouns are proper nouns and common
nouns. In this lesson, you will know the other kinds of nouns.
A. Count Nouns
Count nouns are nouns that can be counted. They can be singular or plural.
Examples: woman—women chair—chairs
elephant—elephants flower—flowers
baby—babies’ book—books
child—children country—countries
B. Mass Nouns
Mass nouns are nouns that cannot be counted. They cannot be
separated into countable units. They can only be quantified by
terms that signify amount.
Examples: water ice sugar oil
chocolate alcohol coffee cologne
air soil
Mass nouns are always common nouns. The following
expressions are used before mass nouns.

How do we use mass nouns and count nouns in
our daily lives?
Countable nouns often use numbers to show how
many there are, such as “two trucks” or “10,000
trees.” Mass nouns, however, do not use
numbers; if you want to specify an exact amount,
usually you can add a new word like “pieces” or
“types.”
