Countable and Uncountable Nouns are essential aspects of English grammar that every learner should master. Countable nouns are individual objects, people, or things that can be counted. They have both singular and plural forms, and can be used with numbers or quantifiers like “a few,” “several,” or “many.” Uncountable nouns, on the other hand, represent substances, concepts, or qualities that cannot be counted. They do not have a plural form and cannot be used with numbers or quantifiers. Instead, they are often used with quantity expressions like “a little,” “some,” or “much.” In the following exercises, you will practice identifying and using countable and uncountable nouns in English grammar.
