Countable & uncountable nouns

Countable nouns They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, or more pens. For example: dog, cat, animal, man, person bottle, box Countable nouns can be singular or plural: My dog is playing. My dogs are hungry. We can use the indefinite article a/an with SINGULAR countable nouns: A dog is an animal. coin, note, dollar cup, plate, fork table, chair, suitcase, bag

We can use some and any with countable nouns.
We use some for affirmative sentences. We use any in negatives and questions. I've got some dollars. Have you got any pens? I don´t have any pens. We can use a few and many with countable nouns: I've got a few dollars. I haven't got many pens.

Uncountable nouns Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot "count" them. We cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "liters of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns: music, art, love, happiness advice, information, news furniture, luggage We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. This news is very important. Your luggage looks heavy. rice, sugar, butter, water electricity, gas, power Money

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". We can use some and any with uncountable nouns: I've got some money. Have you got any rice? We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns: I've got a little money. I haven't got much rice.
