Question

What is a countable/uncountable noun? I know that you use less for uncountable nouns and fewer for countable nouns, but what are some examples of each?

Answer 1

See answer below:

Explanation:

This is the difference between countable and uncountable nouns:

• Countable nouns are, as their name implies, nouns that are able to be counted. They usually have a plural form.
  `rarr`Examples: cat/cats, suitcase/suitcases, pencil/pencils...

• Uncountable nouns are nouns that not able to be counted. They usually do not have a plural form, and may be abstract (meaning that they are not tangible - they cannot be felt).
  `rarr`Examples: rain, earth, wine, peace

Let's try a couple nouns and see if you can identify whether they are countable or uncountable.

1. Guitar: countable or uncountable?
2. Computer: countable or uncountable?
3. Freedom: countable or uncountable?
4. Shirt: countable or uncountable?
5. Weather: countable or uncountable?
6. Water: countable or uncountable?

`1`, `2`, and `4` are countable nouns
`3`, `5`, and `6` are uncountable nouns.
