Study Guide

Here are some key points to remember about countable nouns:

1. Countable nouns have singular and plural forms.
2. They can be preceded by numbers or the words "a" or "an" in singular form, and "some" or specific numbers in plural form.
3. Countable nouns can be used with "many" and "few" to indicate a large or small quantity.
4. They can also be used with "this/these" for singular and "that/those" for plural to indicate proximity or distance.

It's important to remember that not all nouns are countable. Some nouns, called uncountable nouns, cannot be counted and do not have plural forms. Examples of uncountable nouns include water, air, and sugar.

Understanding countable nouns is essential for building proper sentence structure and using the correct articles and quantifiers in English.
