Examples:
* Singular: apple, book, cat, chair, person
* Plural: apples, books, cats, chairs, people
Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted individually. They usually do not have plural forms and are often referred to as "mass nouns."
Examples:
* Water, air, rice, furniture, information, advice, music, happiness
Key Differences:
* Countability: Countable nouns can be counted, while uncountable nouns cannot.
* Plural forms: Countable nouns have plural forms (e.g., apples), while uncountable nouns do not.
* Use with quantifiers: Countable nouns can be used with quantifiers like "many," "few," "several," "a few," etc. Uncountable nouns are used with quantifiers like "much," "little," "a lot of," "some," etc.
Examples of usage:
* Countable: "There are three apples on the table."
* Uncountable: "I need some information about the project."
Note: Some nouns can be both countable and uncountable depending on the context. For example:
* Countable: "I have two coffees." (Referring to individual cups)
* Uncountable: "I drink coffee every morning." (Referring to the beverage itself)
