    Countable Noun

     Countable noun is noun that can be count.


     It can be categorized into singular and plural noun
     For Example :
    book, chair, tomato, car, daughter
    Uncountable Noun

     It can not be counted


     For Example : Wish, Tea, Hair, Sand, Love, Sugar.
    The more we learn about dolphins, the more we
    realize that they are better organized and their society
    is more complex than people previously imagined.
    They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care
    for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the
    community, as we do.
    some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a
    language but it is much more probable that they
    communicate with each other without needing
    “words”. They have an echo-location system which is
    similar to a bat’s system and much more sensitive than
    our hearing, so the most important task of a dolphin’s
    brain is to transmit and receive sound.
    Plural Countable Nouns

     In general, to make plural countable nouns is by adding s on the nouns


     Example : Car – Cars, Step – Steps
     We can also make a plural countable nouns by adding –es to the nouns ending
    with –sh, -ch, -ss, -x.
     When the noun ended with consonant +y, we change “y” into “I” then added
    “-es”.
     When the noun ended –fe or –f, we change into –ves (except beliefs, chiefs,
    roofs, cuffs)
     Plural noun ended with o sometimes change iti –oes or es.
