Countable
and uncountable nounsThe countable nouns can be counted ( one car , two bees )
and countless need a modifier to express quantity (a glass of water ) .What are
uncountable nouns ?The words like sugar and money are countless in Spanish ,
since we can not say " two sugars " , "three funds " .In
English also exist and have the following characteristics :No articles can be
used with a / an - is incorrect to say "a money" can not pluralized .
- It is wrong to say " three electricities " They take singular verb
. The sugar is. - It is wrong to say " The sugar are ..."Another aid
would be lead to think that the countless quantifiers like much and little ,
while lead countable quantifiers like many and few.countlessaccountingHow much?
