100 Countable and Uncountable Nouns Examples

Countable and Uncountable Nouns

In English, nouns are divided into countable and uncountable. Countable nouns are those that we can count concretely, such as pear, apple, and book. Uncountable nouns are those that we cannot count one by one, such as rice, water, honey. In fact, rice, which is one of the names we give as uncountable, is an object that we can count if we try. But when we go to the market in our daily life, we say to the seller, “I want to buy one thousand four hundred and thirty-three grains of rice.” we do not say. Instead, we say the weight of the rice we want to buy, for example, one kilogram. This is the case for many uncountable objects. Another example of this is money. Although we think that we can count money, it is in the category of those that cannot be counted because we do not count money, but the value of money.

Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are objects that we can count with numbers. It can appear in singular or plural forms.

Examples

• He has two fountain pens.
• He has a fountain pen.
• He doesn’t have two fountain pens.
• He doesn’t have a fountain pen.
• He doesn’t have any fountain pens.

If we want to know the number of objects, “How many?” We use the question. We use “any” in interrogative sentences to indicate a quantity, as in negative sentences.

• How many pencils does he have?
• Does he have any pens?
• I want to give John some of the peaches I picked from my garden.
• Mary has a menstrual dress she bought to wear at Christmas time.
• My brother has two dogs.
• I don’t have any paper with me.
• How many classes do you have this semester?
• My family no longer has a home.
