Countable and Uncountable nouns are often easy mistakes that language learners can fix. Let’s learn how to quickly know the difference between the two.

Definition

Nouns name different things, for example: cats; dogs; water; or milk. It’s easy when we have one noun, but what if we have more than one? We need to count the nouns. Only, there is one problem . . .

Some nouns can be counted but some cannot be counted. I can count one apple, two apples, one hundred apples. These nouns are countable.

EXAMPLES:

I have one apple.

There are five people.

These are eight butterflies.

What about nouns you can’t count?

I cannot count water and I don’t want to count grains of rice because there’s just so many. They are uncountable, so you just say the noun.

EXAMPLES:

I have water.

I ate rice.

I will pour orange juice.

If you want to count an uncountable noun, you need to add a countable noun to the sentence.

I have two glasses of water.

I ate three bowls of rice.

I bought three jugs of orange juice.

In these examples, glasses, bowls, and jugs are countable nouns used to describe how much of an uncountable noun there is.

QUANTIFIERS

What if you don’t want to count the exact amount of objects? You can use a quantifier, which talks about the general amount of objects.

There are different quantifiers for countable and uncountable nouns.

And… There are so many quantifier from which to choose. Look at some of them:
