What Are Nouns?

A noun is a word for a person, animal, place, thing, or idea.

👉 Examples: teacher, cat, park, car, happiness

In English grammar, nouns are divided into two important groups:

• Countable nouns (things we can count, like apples 🍎)
• Uncountable nouns (things we cannot count, like water 💧)

Countable Nouns Explained

Countable nouns are nouns you can count as separate items.

Singular and Plural Nouns

• Singular noun: one thing → a toy
• Plural noun: more than one → toys

Plural rules for kids to remember:

• Add -s: dog → dogs
• -y → -ies: city → cities
• -f → -ves: leaf → leaves
• Irregular: child → children, mouse → mice

Countable Noun Examples for Kids

Max says:

“Countable nouns are easy! One apple, two apples, three apples… 🍎”

Uncountable Nouns Explained

Uncountable nouns are nouns that cannot be counted easily. They are often things like liquids, materials, or abstract ideas.

How to Use Uncountable Nouns

• No plural forms (❌ waters, ❌ informations)
• Use words like some, much, a little, a lot of
• Use units/containers → a glass of water, two pieces of advice
