Difference between Countable and Uncountable Nouns

In English, nouns are divided into two main categories: countable nouns and uncountable nouns.


Countable Nouns (गिनने योग्य संज्ञाएँ)

Countable nouns are things we can count. They have a singular and plural form. For example, "apple" is a countable noun. You can say "one apple" or "two apples."

Example: "I have three books."

Translation: "मेरे पास तीन किताबें हैं।"


Uncountable Nouns (गिनने योग्य नहीं संज्ञाएँ)

Uncountable nouns are things we cannot count individually. They do not have a plural form. For example, "water" is an uncountable noun. You cannot say "two waters."

Example: "I need some milk."

Translation: "मुझे कुछ दूध चाहिए।"


Key Mistakes (मुख्य गलतियाँ)

1. Using a number with uncountable nouns: "two milks" is incorrect; it should be "some milk."

2. Forgetting to use "a" or "an" with singular countable nouns: "I saw cat" should be "I saw a cat."


Understanding the difference between countable and uncountable nouns will help you speak and write English more accurately!
