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.
