Countable and uncountable nouns


Countable nouns are nouns that we can count. They have both singular and plural forms. When the
subject of a sentence is in the plural, then the verb must also be in the plural.
Sam's ball is blue.
The balls are green.
Uncountable nouns are nouns that we cannot count. They don't have plural forms. When the subject of
a sentence is an uncountable noun, then the verb must be in the singular.
John's got lots of work.
Ice cream is delicious.
We can use expressions such as: a piece of, a slice of, a cup of, Remember!
a glass of, a carton of, a loaf of, etc. to show how much
we have of something. We don't use a or an with
