5.7. Grammar. Countable and uncountable nouns.
In English some nouns can be counted individually (an apple, two apples…).
They are called COUNTABLE nouns. They have a singular and a plural form
(apple-apples).
Some COUNTABLE NOUNS are: banana-bananas, apple-apples, pear-pears,
lemon-lemons, orange-oranges, strawberry-strawberries, peach-peaches,
pineapple-pineapples, cherry-cherries, potato-potatoes, tomato-tomatoes,
onion-onions, mushroom-mushrooms, carrot-carrots, cucumber-cucumbers,
egg-eggs, biscuit-biscuits…
Nouns that cannot be counted are called UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS. They don’t
have a plural form and are always used with a singular verb.
Some UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS are: meat, fish, pasta, rice, sugar, bread,
butter, cheese, milk, water, coffee, tea, wine, beer…
We use SOME with both countable and uncountable nouns:
COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE
There are some apples. There is some wine.
22
We use ANY with both countable and uncountable nouns in negative sentences
and questions:
COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE
There aren´t any apples.
Are there any apples?
There isn´t any wine.
Is there any wine?
Remember that we always use a singular verb with uncountable nouns:
There is some wine.
There isn’t any wine.
Is there any wine?
Many / Much
For a larger number or amount we use a lot of for both countable and
uncountable nouns.
We use many for countable nouns, and much for uncountable nouns usually in
negative sentences and questions.
COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE
There are a lot of apples. There is a lot of wine.
There aren’t many apples. There isn’t much wine.
How many apples are there? How much wine is there?
