In this course you’ll practise what you learned in this lesson about uncountable nouns with quizzes and worksheets. PLUS, there are 9 more grammar lessons and quizzes to help you practise!
So many of YOUR English mistakes are related to the way that you use nouns! In this free video lesson, we are going to improve your use of English nouns!
There are two types of nouns - countable and uncountable. Knowing the difference between them and how you can use these types of nouns is really important. It affects how you use:
- articles (a/an/the)
- much/many
- some/any
- a little/a few
- so/such
Learning and understanding how countable and uncountable nouns are used differently in English will DRAMATICALLY improve your grammar!
I've made a worksheet that you can download so you can practice what you learn in this lesson.
This video, we’ll focus on uncountable nouns. You can check out my lesson on countable nouns right here: • Countable English Noun...
What you need to know about uncountable nouns:
Uncountable nouns are difficult to count! All of these nouns are uncountable:
- Liquids (water, milk, wine)
- Powders (flour, coffee, sugar)
- gases (air)
- electricity, money, music...
- abstract nouns (like happiness, motivation and luck)
Uncountable nouns have only one form - they cannot be plural.
You can’t use 'a' or 'an' with uncountable nouns because they are used with singular nouns (one) - and uncountable nouns can’t be counted!
You can’t use numbers with uncountable nouns!
You can use ‘some’ with uncountable nouns - because we use it to say there is an amount, but not a specific amount.
But you can also use uncountable nouns WITHOUT ‘some’: Can you get rice from the supermarket? When it’s not important to say how much!
Watch the video lesson to learn how you can quantify uncountable nouns.

Hello Emma , Jacky from France here . What I found amazing when practicing with your method is to realise the amount of air you blow after letters p ,d, t , b , c etc ... When I try to reproduce it , it sounds quite awkward to me , but it sounds like the real thing when you do it.
I am living in Australia and am non-native. I found this channel very helpful. Oh, I remember when I first heard two sugars. Thanks for the explanation.
Great! I'm glad I could help and thanks for watching Rebwar 😀

Fantastic! What will you be doing in Melbourne? Travel? Work?
Just stay a little close to my daughter! Nara, my older daughter, is a dentist and works there in Melbourne with other Brazilian dentists. And at the moment, I'm retired. I worked for 35 years in the Brazilian Air Force and now I have all the free time to travel around the world. This year, during the three months that I will be staying in Melbourne, I also intend to go to New Zealand and also to know some other cities of the Australian Coast. A big hug for you Emma and thank you so much for your attention.

Hi mmm English.Hi i love your videos. My question is why an idea is countable and advice is uncountable
Emma thanks of you i love english and you
Interesting. In Portuguese, which is my native language, we can use the word "information" either as a countable or uncountable noun. I was wondering which word I could use to replace it to say something equivalent to the Portuguese countable case...
Very useful information 👍thanks

You're welcome Roula!
Hi there!, thanks fot sharing your knowledge and that valuable information but the documents you shared are not working well. :(
Hi, Emma.. Is this sentence proper in English?
She cooks a delicious fried rice.
When an uncountable noun is combined with an adjective, can we put the article "a"?
Kindly need your help. Thank you :)
In this example, the noun is 'the dish': "She cooks a delicious friend rice dish".
This exception is a similar example to the "I'll take a coffee with two sugars" example I gave in the lesson. 😉
Teacher Emma! Is instruction countable or uncountable noun?
Thanks Emma, where I can find the work sheets?
