What is the difference between Countable Noun and Uncountable Noun

Countable Noun

The things which we can count are said to be countable nouns. This means that they can be one or more than one of them. Also when a countable noun is singular we often add the articles ' a / an ' with it.

For example

1) I gave two books to my sister.

2) I would like to have an omelette for breakfast.

3) She gave a rose to her mother.

To summarise we can also say that countable nouns give answer to the question of "How many things" are available or required.

Uncountable Nouns

The things which cannot be counted,such as rice or water, are known as uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns have a singular form, but when they are indefinite , we either use the word " some " or nothing at all instead of an article.

1) Shall I get some water for you?

2) I will have some curd rice in the afternoon.

Uncountable nouns give answer to the question of " How much quantity " something is available or required.
