We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular : We
use a singular verb. For example:
• This news is very important.
• Your luggage looks heavy.
You can count uncountable nouns if you use:
• A piece of… cheese
• A bowl of… soup
• A cup of… tea
• A bottle of…wine
• A carton of…milk MILK
• A bar of… chocolate

We don’t use indefinite articles (a/an) with uncountable nouns.
We use QUANTIFIERS. Look at the examples:
a sack of rice a loaf of bread a jar of honey
a box of cereal a slice of pizza a cup of coffee

a piece of cake a bar of chocolate a can of soda
a bag of chips a mug of beer a spoon of salt
a package of cookies a carton of milk a tub of ice-cream
