Countable and uncountable nouns | English grammar lesson

Learn the difference between countable and uncountable nouns with this English grammar lesson.
Countable nouns are separate objects that we can count. They have a singular and a plural form and we can use the indefinite article with them ("a" or "an")
Uncountable nouns are things like liquids, materials or a mass of substance with no boundaries. They only have a singular form and we cannot use "a" or "an" before them. We can use the word "some", for example "There is some rice."
Some nouns can be both countable and uncountable depending on the context or situation.
It is very important to learn if a noun is countable or not because the English grammar rules for both types of nouns are different.
There are subtitles (closed captions) during the video and the accent is a British English accent.

[@ZindagiekKashti]

Hey Andrew,
He gave me some good advice (correct)
I have a doubt in "some". As the rules "some" is use with plural but Advice is singular noun so how it correct with "advice"?

[@sdd1563]

"Advice" cannot be categorised under singular or plural. It is categorised as "countable" or "uncountable."

[@sdd1563]

Therefore, the word "some" can be used for an uncountable noun like "advice" because "some" is a way of measuring. But you still mustn't say "some advices." You're allowed to say "some advice."

Hallo, Andrew
You have explained well , but I have confusion about the nouns hair/ hairs and star/ stars pl explain if possible about the above . Thanks.

[@joellieu259]

could you help me out the question that twinkle,glitter gleam and other similar words are countable or not? and how to use them correctly.

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

joel lieu Hello. Well twinkle and gleam are verbs so they are neither countable or uncountable. Glitter is uncountable. Example: "The girl put some glitter on her face."

[@joellieu259]

I'm glad you respond. Thank you. I see.

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

joel lieu
It's a pleasure. The big difference between countable and countable is how we use them. Here are 2 other videos which explain the differences:
When to use "some" and "any" | English grammar lesson
and
When to use "much" and "many" | English grammar lesson
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
