A noun can be countable and Uncountable.

Countable

• I eat an apple every day.
• I like apples.

Apple is a countable noun because we can count the number of apples.

A countable noun can be singular (apple) or plural (apples).

Hence, countable nouns are things we can count. So, we can say ‘one apple’, ‘two apples’.

Examples of Nouns usually countable:

• Sita is writing a letter.
• There’s a park near here.
• Have you got a ten-dollar note?
• There are no books in the cupboard.
• We have got sufficient chairs.

Uncountable Nouns

• I eat meat every day.
• I like meat.

Meat is an uncountable noun. A countable noun cannot be counted, and it has only one form (meat).

We cannot say ‘one meat’, ‘two meat’, etc.

Examples of nouns are usually uncountable.

• There’s water in my bag.
• It was his bad luck that he met with an accident.
• There’s sand in that bucket.
• John is listening to music.

How to Identify Countable and Uncountable Nouns?

Can I add a number to a noun?

• One pencil → two pencils → Countable
• One orange → two oranges → Countable
• One key → two keys → Countable

However:

• One music ❌
• One water ❌
• Four rice ❌

So, music, water, and rice are uncountable.
