A. Countable and uncountable nouns
Nouns can be countable, uncountable, or both countable and uncountable.
Countable nouns
Countable nouns are nouns that you can count. This means you can have a singular and plural form.
For example, one apple or two apples
Remember: with singular, countable nouns there is always an article. (a, an, the)
an apple, my apple, the apple, this apple, etc (not just “apple”.) a pen
An - Pengucapan Huruf pertama (A, I, U, E, O)
A - Pronunciation Huruf pertama dr kata benda
Uncountable nouns harus konsonan
Uncountable nouns are nouns that you cannot count. This means that there is no plural form.
Uncountable nouns are usually:
University A university // An University
Hour
A Hour // An Hour
– concepts (life, love, happiness, peace, advice, information. time, money)
– materials and substances (wood, paper, iron, bread)
– liquids (water, coffee)
Both countable and uncountable nouns
uncountable countable
Coffee is a popular drink. I’d like a coffee and two teas, please.
We produce paper in our factory. The Guardian is a paper from the UK.

Notice the difference in their meanings.
Some nouns have irregular plural endings.
One man = Two men
One woman = Two women a pen // 5 pens
One child = Two children a book // 2 books
One person = Two people
One ox = Two oxen
One mouse = Two mice
One tooth = Two teeth
One foot = Two feet
Some nouns have the same singular and plural endings.
One sheep = Two sheep
One series = Two series
B. There is & There are, Some, Any

We use “There is” or “There are” to talk about things we can see and things that exist.
We use “There is” for singular and uncountable nouns, and we use “There are” for plural countable
nouns.
“There are five people in the office.” (plural countable noun)
“There’s a television in the living room.” (singular countable noun)
or “There’s some milk in the fridge.” (uncountable noun)
With plural countable nouns we can either give the quantity (“five people”) or use “some” if we don’t
know the exact quantity.
“There are five people in the office.” (We can see five people exactly)
“There are some people in the office.” (We don’t know exactly how many people)
With uncountable nouns we also use “some”.
“There’s some milk in the fridge,” (I don’t know the exact quantity.)
“There’s some money in my wallet.” (I don’t know exactly how much money.)
Remember: with singular countable nouns we use a/an, the, or another determiner or pronoun – not
“some”.
“There’s a woman in the shop.”
“There’s the woman who works in the hospital.”

“There’s my sister in the photo.”
1. Add “not” or “n’t “ to the end of the verb to form negatives.
“There isn’t a freezer in the kitchen.” (singular, countable noun)
“There isn’t any money in my wallet.” (uncountable noun)
“There aren’t any students” in the classroom. (plural noun)
For uncountable nouns, use “any” after the negative “isn’t”, and for plural countable nouns use “any”
after “aren’t”.
Remember: Do not use “any” with singular countable nouns.
“There isn’t a single biscuit left in the packet.” (Not “There isn’t any single biscuit left in the packet.”)
2. Use “no” after “there is” or “there are”.
“There is no freezer in the kitchen.” (singular countable noun)
“There are no students in the classroom.” (plural noun)
“There’s no coffee left.” (uncountable noun)
However, it’s more common to use “isn’t + a” for singular countable nouns, “isnt + any” for uncountable
nouns and “aren’t + any” for plural nouns.
