    4 COUNT AND NON-COUNT NOUNS


    Count nouns name things that can be counted. Non-count nouns name things that cannot
    be counted.
    Count nouns can take any article (a, an, or the) and can be either singular or plural. Non-count
    nouns cannot take an indefinite article (a or an) and cannot be plural. Most abstract nouns (and
    many concrete ones) are non-count nouns. See the examples below.
    Count Nouns a chair, a shirt, an ant, books, cars, shoes

    Non-Count Nouns broccoli, clothing, energy, jewelry, milk, sugar, vitamin C
