Count & Non-Count Nouns

Nouns in almost all languages fall into two categories: count and non-count noun--some grammar books call them countable and uncountable noun.

Countable nouns are individual nouns (objects) which can be counted like computer, campus, country, house, etc. They can be both singular (a computer, a campus, a country, a house, etc.) or plural (a few computers, some campuses, many countries, two houses, etc.).

Uncountable nouns are are not individual objects and cannot be counted like information, water, rice, sand, etc. They are always singular (NOT lots of informations, two waters, a lot of rices, some sands, etc.).

Some countable nouns in your language(s) are uncountable in English. They include: accommodation, advice, baggage, bread, equipment, furniture, garbage, information, knowledge, luggage, money, news, pasta, progress, research, travel, work.

Actually, you can express the plurality of certain uncountable nouns by adding some measurements, for example:

water - a glass of water
equipment - a piece of equipment
bread - a slice (loaf) of bread
accommodation - a place to stay
advice - a piece of advice
baggage - a piece of baggage
furniture - a piece of furniture
garbage - a piece of garbage
information - a piece of information
luggage - a piece of luggage,
pasta - a plate of pasta, a serving of pasta
water - a glass, a bottle, a jug of water
meat - a piece, a slice, a pound of meat
butter - a bar of butter
ketchup - a bottle of, a tube of ketchup, etc.

1. blog

5. intelligence
6. chatroom
7. letter
