Question

Give 5 examples of countable and uncountable roans?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Countable nouns are singular persons, animals, places, things, or ideas that can be counted. Anything that can be counted, whether in the singular like a dog, a house, a friend, etc. or plural like some books, many oranges etc. is a countable noun. The singular verbs are used with singular countable nouns, while plural verbs are used with plural countable nouns.

• Examples -

1. There are at least twenty Chinese restaurants in Bangalore.
2. Suman took a lot of photographs when she went to the Taj Mahal.
3. Your book is on the dining table.
4. How many candies are on that birthday cake?
5. There’s a big black dog running around the neighborhood.

• Uncountable nouns are not individual objects, that cannot be counted. Anything that cannot be counted is an uncountable noun. Although uncountable nouns are not single objects, singular and singular verbs should always be used with uncountable nouns.

• Examples -

1. There is no more water in the lake.
2. Please help yourself to some butter.
3. You seem to have a high level of intelligence quotient.
4. Please take good care of your instrument.
5. Let’s get rid of the old furniture.
