CONTABLE AND UNCOUNTABE NOUNS

CONTABLE NOUNS.
Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:
-dog, cat, animal, man, person
-bottle, box, litre
-table, chair, suitcase, bag

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:
-My cat is playing.
-My cats are playing.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:
-I want an orange.
-Where is my bottle?

When a countable noun is plural, we just can use it alone:
-I like oranges.
-Bottles can break.

We can use some, any, few, many with countable nouns:
-I've got some dollars.
-Have you got any pens?
-I've got a few dollars.
-I haven't got many pens

UNCOUNTABE NOUNS.
Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk".Here are some more uncountable nouns:
-music, art, love, happiness
-electricity, gas, power
-rice, sugar, butter, water

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:
-This news is very important.
-Your luggage looks heavy.

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a something of:

-a piece of news

-a bottle of water

We can use some, any, a little, much with uncountable nouns:

-I've got a little money.

-I haven't got much rice.

-I've got some money.

-Have you got any rice?
