Countable nouns are nouns that we can count. Uncountable nouns are nouns
that we cannot count.
Countable nouns have singular and plural forms. Uncountable nouns do not have
plural forms.
Countable nouns can take a/an/the, some, or numbers before them. Uncountable
nouns can take the or some before them. Do NOT use a/an or numbers before them.

the cheese, some sugar, a coffee (), two meat
()
Uncountable nouns always use a third person singular verb.
