Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Countable nouns or count nouns denote things that can be counted. The examples of countable noun are: a cow, a cat, a house, a car, a rocket, an aeroplane, etc. Count nouns have plural forms. The plural forms of the previous examples are: cows, cats, houses, cars, rockets and aeroplanes.

Uncountable nouns or noncount nouns denote things that cannot be counted. The things may be able to be measured but they cannot be counted. The examples of the noncount nouns are: milk, coffee, tea, sugar, rice, flour, etc. Uncountable nouns do not have plural forms.

Now, as an excercise, can you name five other countable nouns and five other uncountable nouns?
