UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
based on whether or not they can be counted, nouns are grouped into 2, namely
1. Countable Noun
2. Uncountable Noun
COUNTABLE NOUN
• Countable Nouns are nouns that can be counted, the characteristics of these nouns are:
- Can be followed by a count of 1,2,3,4,5, and so on
- Can be followed by articles a and an in the singular
- Can add the suffix s and es in the plural
Example :
House = a house, one house, three houses
Dictionary = a dictionary, one dictionary, four dictionaries
Notes :
In connection with this type, nouns in the form are called “singular nouns” (a, an, one …), and nouns that are plural are called “plural nouns” (…
-s and -es).
In addition, it should be noted that there are nouns that have irregular forms when they are plural. They do not add s or es, but have their own
form. These nouns are then included in the list of irregular plural nouns.

Man : a man, two men, three men, many men
Child : a child, two children, several children
UNCOUNTABLE NOUN
nouns that cannot be counted. The characteristics are the opposite of a countable noun, namely:
- Cannot be followed by numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and so on
- Cannot be followed by articles a and an (no singular form
- Cannot add s and es (no plural form)

Milk : a milk, one milk. Three milk
Chesee : a chesee, one chesee, two chesee
Notes :
Uncountable nouns actually make it possible to count, but what counts is not the substance or substance, but the amount or
container. Therefore this noun is also called "mass noun".

Cheese : a block of cheese, two blocks of cheese, …
