Answer 1

Answer:

Noun/ [C]

A word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality; can be either countable or uncountable.

Countable nouns have singular and plural forms while uncountable nouns can be used only in the singular form.

In English grammar, words that refer to people, places or things are called nouns. There are several ways to classify nouns. One way is whether they are countable (also known as count) or uncountable (also known as non-count) nouns. Countable nouns, as the term suggests, refer to things that can be counted.

They have singular and plural forms.

E.g.

table, tables; month, months; pen, pens.

A countable noun becomes plural by adding s at the end of the word.Of course, there are exceptions –

E.g.

man, men; child, children; goose, geese.

In contrast, uncountable nouns cannot be counted. They have a singular form and do not have a plural form – you can’t add an s to it. E.g., dirt, rice, information and hair. Some uncountable nouns are abstract nouns such as advice and knowledge.

E.g.

Her jewellery is designed by a well-known celebrity.

I needed some advice, so I went to see the counsellor.

Some nouns can be countable or uncountable depending on the context or situation.

E.g.

We’ll have two coffees (countable).

I don’t like coffee (uncountable).
