Countable noun is a noun that you can count individually.
It has both singular and plural forms.

SOME have irregular plural forms.

Box -> Boxes (add-es) Child -> Children

Institute for Development of Economy ៣. Countable Noun
3B. Count Noun
The singular form can use the determiner “a” or “an”. If you want to ask about the
quantity of a countable noun, you ask “How many…?” combined with the plural countable
noun.
Example of Count Noun
She has three dogs.
I own a house.
I would like two books please.
How many friends do you have?
• Use a/an with singular nouns.
• Use an with a noun beginning with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u).
• Use a with nouns beginning. e.g. university.

Institute for Development of Economy ៤. Uncountable Noun
4A. Uncountable Noun
Uncountable noun is a noun that cannot count individually. Uncountable nouns do not
have a distinction between singular and plural and cannot be counted because they cannot
be easily divided.
Example of Non-Count Noun
Water (You can’t say “two waters” unless you’re
referring to bottles of water)
• Information (Not ”Informations”)
• Advice • Salt • Cheese
• Hair • Sugar
• Rice • Porridge

Example
• She give some advice before the interview.
• I need some sugar.

a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of, If you want to ask about the quantity of an
uncountable noun, you ask “How much?”

He did not have much sugar left.
