Question

Pick out the countable noun from the following- a) Ink b) water c) sea d) jam

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.

apple

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.

apples

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.
