Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Some foods and drinks are countable, and some are uncountable.
Let’s learn the difference.

Countable Nouns:
Things you can count
apple ◦ banana ◦ carrot ◦ sandwich

Uncountable Nouns:

Rules:

Countable nouns can be plural

some or a lot of
some bread, a lot of cheese.

Exercise:
Classify the following as countable or uncountable:

1. Orange

Talking About Quantities

When talking about quantities, we use different words depending on whether the noun is countable or uncountable.
