Question

6)write ten sentences using countable nouns and ten sentences using uncountable noun
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Countable nouns

A countable noun is a separate object. It is a separate unit. We can clearly count the number of units of a countable noun. An example is “apple”.

A countable noun has a singular form (when there is one unit).

Example:

➡I have one apple.

It also has a plural form (where there is more than 1 unit) For regular nouns, we usually form the plural by adding “s” –

Example:

➡ I have two apples.

We can count countable nouns because it is clear to see they are separate units.

In the singular form, we can use the indefinite article (“a” / “an”).

Example:

➡ I am eating an apple.

Examples of countable nouns:

cat, lemon, desk, bus, bowl, sandwich, radio and many more.

Uncountable nouns

An uncountable noun is not a separate object or unit. We cannot count uncountable nouns. It is a large solid mass or liquid without clear boundaries. An example is “water” We cannot count water. We do NOT say “I have 3 waters” – It does not make sense. Water is a liquid and is just one big amount all together.

Uncountable nouns only have a singular form.

Example:

➡I have some water. correct

There is no plural form for uncountable nouns.

We cannot use the indefinite article (“a” / “an”)

Example:

➡ I have a water. wrong

Uncountable nouns are therefore names of materials, gases, liquids, concepts, collections, mass objects without boundaries.

Examples:

sugar, butter, oxygen, rice, pasta, salt, bread, milk, water

Example sentences:

The pasta is very nice. correct

(Notice that “pasta” is in the singular form. The verb “is” (third person singular of the verb “be”) is also the singular form to agree with the subject.

The pastas are very nice. wrong

(This is wrong because pasta does not have a plural form!)

Can I have some pasta? correct

He served me some pasta. correct

(pasta is singular)

More examples of uncountable nouns:

advice, air, alcohol, blood, butter, cheese, coffee, education, flour, food, furniture, grass, ice, information, luggage, meat, milk, money, music, news, oxygen, paper, pepper, rain, rice, salt, sand, snow, sugar, toothpaste, wine, wood and many more.
