Countable nouns are things you can count. They have a singular form (one) and a plural form (more than one). For example, "apple" (one apple) and "apples" (two apples). You can use numbers with countable nouns, like "three books" or "ten chairs."
Uncountable nouns are things you cannot count individually. They do not have a plural form. For example, "water," "rice," and "information." You cannot say "two waters" or "three rices." Instead, you use expressions like "a glass of water" or "a bowl of rice."
Some examples of countable nouns:
- apples
- chairs
- cars
- books
- friends
Some examples of uncountable nouns:
- sugar
- milk
- furniture
- money
- music
When using countable nouns, you can say "many" for questions and negatives. For uncountable nouns, use "much" for questions and negatives.
Examples:
- Countable: "How many apples do you have?" / "I don't have many apples."
- Uncountable: "How much water do you need?" / "I don't need much water."
