Countable vs Uncountable nouns

 We will:

1) Differentiate between countable and uncountable nouns

2) Use a, an and some correctly.

What are nouns? Nouns are names. It can be a proper noun (Fitri, Ferrari) or a common noun (boy, car, school). 

Nouns can be singular (only one name) or plural (more than one). If there's more than one person or object, we add -s at the end of the word. For example:

a carrot
two carrots

However, some nouns cannot be counted. Can you count:

sugar?
salt?

The nouns that can't be counted are called the uncountable nouns. Since we cannot count them, we have a different rule to  describe them:

three carrots (countable)

some salt (uncountable)

*I did not put s after the word salt because I can't count it.

Okay, now we use these phrases to describe the food. It will look like this:

1. There is a carrot. (a is for one)

   *If the letter starts with a, e, i, o, u, we use an instead. 

   For example: There is an orange.

2. There are 3 carrots. (I can count them)

3. There is some sugar. (I use some instead of number)

 Let's try this exercise:
