Countable and uncountable nouns

I have countable and uncoutable noun. Only one condition must be to define noun as countable: I can count it.

I use articles a or an before countable nouns. Else other words before uncountable nouns. Countable nouns have singular and plural forms.

At sometimes uncountable nouns may be countable in context or in different means.

 

Mutations

Rock noun as the matherial is uncoutable, but a rock is piece of rock is countable noun.

Water is liquid, it's uncountable noun, but a glass of water is countable noun.

Any thing may be modified to make this countable.

 

Exceptions

These nouns is uncountable in English: advice, accommodation, fruit, furniture, homework, information, knowledge, luggage, money, music, news, pasta, traffic, transport.

 

Examples for practice

  • I got advice from my friend.
  • I don't have so many money.
  • I'm reading news.
  • I like pasta!
  • Traffic on the road is so terrible.
  • City transport can be helpful for the tourists.
  • I like different music!


How to

I can use noun as countable only if I can count it now without additional actions. Else other is uncountable for me.

Also, If I listen that anybody use noun as countable I know that he or she can cout this.
