Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Grammar review

Countable nouns

​

Things that you can count (1, 2, 3…) are countable. Countable nouns have a singular and plural form. Use "a" or "an" before singular countable nouns. "A" and "an" refer to one person, animal, or thing.

​

Examples:

​

I eat an apple every morning. (one apple)

I like bananas.

She drinks a cup of coffee at ten o’clock. (one cup of coffee)

Some countable nouns (food):

a sandwich-sandwiches, an egg-eggs, a sausage-sausages, a tomato-tomatoes, a salad-salads, a banana-bananas, an apple-apples, an orange-oranges, a cookie-cookies

​

Uncountable nouns

​

Simon doesn’t eat bread. (NOT: a bread / breads)

I’m allergic to milk. (NOT: a milk / milks)
