Count and Non-count Nouns What are they?

Count and Non-count Nouns In English, all nouns are either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns are things which can easily be counted, and have a singular and plural form, like chairs, students, or pencils. Uncountable nouns are things which cannot be counted, and do not have a plural form, like air, water, or money.

Count and Non-count Nouns It is easy to understand when nouns are countable. 1 apple 2 apples But, knowing when nouns are not countable is a little more challenging.

Non-count Nouns There are four types of uncountable nouns: 1- Things which are too small to count. 2- Things which are liquid or gas. 3- Things which are ideas. 4- Things which are group nouns.

Non-count Noun Examples Too small: rice, sand, lettuce, corn Liquid or gas: air, water, oil, tea Ideas: happiness, education, information Group: meat, bread, clothing, mail, and money The first three types of non-count nouns should be pretty clear. Let’s look at the last type a little closer:

Group Nouns Group nouns represent collections of similar individual parts, which are usually count nouns. Here are some examples: Meat includes hamburgers, lamb chops, and chicken wings. Bread includes buns, doughnuts, and croissants. Clothing includes shirts, pants, and dresses. Mail includes letters, postcards, and parcels. Money includes dollars, dirhams, and coins.

In summary Nouns which can easily be counted, and have a singular and plural form are countable. Nouns that can not be easily counted because they are too small, liquids or gases, ideas, or group nouns are uncountable.
