An uncountable noun (also known as a non-count noun or mass noun) refers to something that cannot be counted as separate units or individual items. These nouns generally describe substances, ideas, or concepts that are considered as a whole.
Examples of uncountable nouns:
- Water (We cannot count water as separate units; it is measured in liters or gallons.)
- Happiness (We cannot count happiness as individual items; it is a concept described as a whole.)
- Information (We cannot count information as separate units; it is an abstract concept.)
A countable noun (also known as a count noun) refers to something that can be counted as separate units or individual items. These nouns can be singular or plural, and they often have both a singular and plural form.
Examples of countable nouns:
- Apple (We can count apples as individual items; one apple, two apples, etc.)
- Book (We can count books as separate units; one book, two books, etc.)
- Dog (We can count dogs as individual animals; one dog, two dogs, etc.)
To identify whether a noun is countable or uncountable, consider if it can be quantified with numbers or measured in a unit. If it can, it is likely a countable noun; if not, it is probably an uncountable noun.
