1. Countable nouns are things we can count.
hotels, rooms, guests, dollars
2. Uncountable nouns are things we can't count.
tourism, weather, water
3. We use a/an with single countable nouns, e.g, a beach. We cannot
usually use a/an with uncountable nouns.
a send = some sand
4. We use some and any with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Some is used in positive sentences and any is used in negative
sentences and questions.
There are some beautiful beaches near here.
There is some sand on my towel.
There aren't any towels in the room.
Is there any room service after 10 pm?
5. We use many and a lot (of) with plural countable nouns.
many students, a lot of students
73
6. We use much and a lot (of) with uncountable nouns.
much food, a lot of food
7. Many and much are more common in questions and negatives. We
usually use a lot (of) in positive sentences.
Did you take many photographs?
She didn't drink much juice.
There were a lot of people on the beach.
8. Many nouns can be used as countable and uncountable nouns, usually with a difference in meaning.
She ordered chicken. (A portion or dish.)
She ordered a chicken. (A whole chicken.)
9. Drinks are usually uncountable. But they can be countable if it's a
cup or a glass.
We'd like two teas and a coffee.
An apple juice and a tonic water, please.
Typical mistakes
• Some nouns which are uncountable in English may be countable in
other languages.
I’d like an advice = I’d like some advice.
He had a good travel = He had a good journey/trip.
I need an information = I need some information.
• Other examples
furniture, news, money, weather, work
