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
