Countable (or count) nouns are words which can be counted. They have
a singular form and a plural form. They usually refer to things. Most
countable nouns become plural by adding an ‘s’ at the end of the word.
For example:
Singular Plural
Chair chairs
Bottle bottles
Student students
Coin coins
Uncountable (or non-count) nouns are words which cannot be counted.
Therefore, they only have a singular form. They have no plural forms. These
words are thought of as wholes rather than as parts. They usually refer to
abstractions (such as confidence or advice) or collectives (such as
equipment or luggage).
For example:
Singular
Money
Furniture
Information
Bread
Cheese.
