NOUNS

Count and Non-Count

UPDATED: AUG 2021

The rules below are true for the vast majority of nouns; however, there are exceptions! In some cases, you just have to memorize the correct noun.

Nouns without an "s"
are non-count.

Examples:
water, beer, wine, money, cheese, oil, gas.

Nouns with an "s"
are count.

Examples:
cars, books, dollars, pesos, reais, cups of water, cans of beer

Remember:

How many = count
How many dollars do you have?

How much = non-count
How much money do you have?
