Вивчення іменників у англійській мові включає засвоєння важливого розподілу на іменники, що підлягають лічбі (countable nouns) та іменники, які не підлягають лічбі (uncountable nouns). Розрізняти ці дві групи іменників важливо для правильного вживання статей, кількісних виразів та інших граматичних структур.
Countable nouns (полічені іменники) – це предмети або поняття, які можна порахувати: одна книжка, два яблука, п’ять монет тощо. У той час як uncountable nouns (неполічені іменники) використовуються для позначення матерії, рідин, природних явищ, які не можна порахувати: вода, пісок, тепло. Ці вправи допоможуть вам покращити знання в цій темі.
