COMPUTER LAB CLASS, OCTOBER 10th

Countable Nouns 

Most nouns are countable nouns, or count nouns. They are called countable nouns because they refer to people or things that can be counted.

How to use the articles - a, an, the?

When you are talking about only one person, animal, place, or thing, you can put a or an before the noun.
a dentist an apple
a child an egg
a spider an ice cream
a lady an owl
a park an umbrella
We put an before words beginning with vowels (a, e, i, o, u). But some words do not follow this rule. For example, some words that begins with the letter u, use a (not an). This occurs when the vowel u sounds like you.
a uniform a user
a utensil a union
a university a unit
a unicorn a useful tool

Uncountable Nouns

Some nouns are called uncountable nouns or non-count nouns. They are called uncountable nouns because they are words for things we cannot count.
chocolate tea
cream heat
food milk
wind sand
snow sugar
We can put words like a piece of before uncountable nouns, and use them as countable nouns.
a bar of chocolate a jar of jam
a bottle of cream a pinch of salt
a drop of water a spoonful of sugar
a speck of dust a gust of wind
a blade of grass a shower of rain
We can use numbers and quantities with these words to show the plural form.
three bars of chocolate a few grains of rice
two bottles of cream a few limps of sugar
