Countable and Uncountable Noun

Nouns are divided into the categories of countable and uncountable nouns. Linguapress (2009) says that when writing or talking English, it is essential to know whether the noun you are going to use functioning as a count noun or uncountable noun, or functioning as one. If the noun you want to use can be either a countable noun or a uncountable noun, you must decide which value you wish to give it in a given context, since this may determine how you express your sentence. Moreover, Tourneau (1999) says that certain nouns in English belong to both classes: they have both a non-count and a count meaning. Normally, the noncount meaning is abstract and general, and the count meaning is concrete and specific.<br>
