Countable and uncountable nouns.
00:00:01
As the name says, countable nouns will be those that can be counted.
00:00:04
That you can say two, three, four, you can put before, no?
00:00:10
Or you can say a, whatever.
00:00:14
And the uncountable nouns are the ones that cannot be counted.
00:00:17
Okay?
00:00:22
So, some characteristics about countable nouns is that they have a singular and plural form.
00:00:23
Example, tree, trees.
00:00:29
and that they can use a singular or plural verb.
00:00:31
Example, the book is old.
00:00:35
The books are old.
00:00:37
Okay, is, are, is is for singular and are is for plural.
00:00:40
Whereas uncountable nouns have only one form.
00:00:48
They have no plural.
00:00:53
Example, batter.
00:00:54
You cannot say batters.
00:00:56
okay and they always use a singular verb
00:00:57
sugar is sweet you don't say sugar are sweet
00:01:01
sugar is sweet. Some more characteristics is that they cannot
00:01:05
use a, an or a number before the noun
00:01:11
so you cannot say for example a butter
00:01:15
two butters, three butters
00:01:18
no example that you have you cannot say a rice
00:01:22
or three rice. Bread, you cannot say a bread or two bread. You can say two pieces of bread,
00:01:25
two slices of bread, but you need another word to be able to count what you are having.
00:01:34
But as such, they are uncountable nouns. Okay, uncountable nouns are often abstract ideas

00:02:05
need something in between. Liquids and gases, water, milk, rain. Of course you cannot say
00:02:13
a water or two water. You can of course say a bottle of water or three bottles of water.
00:02:20
But to be able to be counted they need somewhere to put it in. Materials such as wood, glass,
00:02:28
