now nouns name a person place thing or idea there are countable nouns and uncountable nouns in this video I will go through the difference between countable and uncountable nouns so let's start with countable nouns these are nouns we can count these nouns have a singular and a plural form let's have a look at the example of an apple here we have this singular form of the noun we can make the plural form by adding s apples another example is mango this is the singular form of the noun and we can create the plural form by adding es mangoes okay so the next thing we need to know is that we can use a number a or an before the noun this is for singular countable nouns for example we can say there is an apple so we know that there is only one Apple another example is there is a banana again we know that there is only one banana as we can see from the sentence the singular verb is has been used this is another rule of countable nouns singular verbs are used with singular countable nouns on the other hand when we're describing plural countable nouns we don't use a or an before the noun instead we can stay the number for example there are three apples in this sentence we have used the plural verb are this is another rule of countable nouns that plural verbs are used with plural countable nouns there are other ways we can describe the quantity of plural countable nouns we can use words like few many some a lot of know for example we can say there are some apples in the basket so we don't always have to state exactly how many there are we can just say there are some another example is there are no apples in the basket okay here is the summary of countable nouns so you need to remember that countable nouns are nouns we can count they have a singular and plural form we can use a number a or an before the noun singular verbs are used with singular countable nouns and plural verbs are used with plural countable nouns now let's have a look at a few examples in a sentence I would like an apple please those houses look beautiful there is a school near my house there are some eggs in the fridge now let's go through uncountable nouns these are nouns we can't count and these nouns are always singular so we can't add S or ES to make the plural form they are always singular another rule is that we don't use a number a or an before the noun so let's have a look at an example cheese this is an uncountable now we can't say if there is a cheese this is wrong we can't say there is an cheese this is also wrong lastly we can't say there is one cheese this is wrong because is uncountable we can't count how much there is instead we can say there is some cheese as you can see from the sentence we're using a singular verb is so another rule of uncountable nouns is that we always use singular verbs for uncountable nouns let's try to use a plural verb and see if it makes sense there are some cheese this is grammatically incorrect there are other ways we can quantify uncountable nouns we can say some much little a lot of no or not much so here is a summary of uncountable nouns remember uncountable nouns are nouns we can't count they are always singular we don't use a number a or an before the noun and we always use a singular verb for uncountable nouns now let's go through a few examples of uncountable nouns in a sentence I would like some milk can you give me some bread there is not much information about the hotel I have a lot of money it is important to note that there are many exceptions we can use a number a or an with uncountable nouns when we use another countable noun with it this may sound confusing but it will make sense when we go through a few examples in this example we're using the noun juice so we know that juice is an uncountable noun because we can't count it so we can say that there is some juice as you can see we're also using the singular verb is however we can quantify this now using a number if we use another countable noun such as a glass we can say that there are two glasses of juice here we're using the plural verb are because we are counting the number of glasses which is accountable now other example is bread bread is an uncountable noun so we can say that there is a lot of bread again we're using is singular verb however we can quantify it by saying that there are 11 slices of bread we can count the number of slices so the last thing you need to know about are nouns that are countable and uncountable this is where it can become a little more confusing but it will make sense when we look at some examples some nouns can be both countable and uncountable the meaning changes depending on the context so let's have a look at an example chicken we can say that there are five chickens on the farm here we're referring to the type of animal on the farm and we can count the number of chickens so it's countable however when we use this in a different context for example I ate chicken for dinner in this example we're referring to the food which is uncountable so the noun means different things in each example glass I would like a glass of water please in this example we're referring to the container that we drink from we can count the number of glasses therefore its countable the door is made of glass in this example we're referring to the material glass rather than the glass we drink from you
