NOTES

COUNTABLE NOUN:

 Countable nouns can be counted by using numbers.

 They have both singular and plural form.
 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.

 We use few and many with countable nouns.
 Example: Book- books, pen- pens

UNCOUNTABLE NOUN:

 Uncountable nouns cannot be counted with numbers.

 They usually do not have a plural form.
