define Countable and Uncountable noun with examples.
Answers
A countable noun, also called a count noun, is “a noun that typically refers to a countable thing and that in English can be used in both the singular and the plural and can be preceded by the indefinite article a or an or by a number.” Basically, if it is possible to count something, that something is referred to by a countable noun.
Well, an uncountable noun refers to something that can’t be counted with numbers. For that reason, uncountable nouns normally don’t use the articles a or an and don’t have plural forms.
Nouns can be countable or uncountable. Countable nouns can be counted, e.g. an apple, two apples, three apples, etc. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, e.g. air, rice, water, etc. When you learn a new noun, you should check if it is countable or uncountable and note how it is used in a sentence.
