Countable nouns

Countable Nouns

We can count them by using a number or some when we don't know the exact number:
 
  • a book - two books
  • an apple - three apples
  • a person - some people

We can use a verb in the singular or in the plural form:


There is an apple in the bowl


Apples are good for you

2

plural nouns

Some nouns are always in the plural form:


Groups of people: police, family, clothes, stairs


The police are coming


Objects that have two parts: trousers, shorts, jeans, shoes, gloves, socks, scissors, glasses


These jeans are great


We can make these nouns singular by using the phrase a pair of:


Where are my socks?


There is a pair of socks under the bed.
