UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

1. Nouns that can not be represented by a number, are called UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

   • WE CANNOT DIVIDE THE UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS INTO SEPARATE ELEMENTS
     • IF ..WE CANNOT "COUNT THEM" ....FOR EXAMPLE: We CAN count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", BUT we CANNOT count "milk" itself.
       • We can use some and any with uncountable nouns: I've got some money. Have you got any rice?
         • SOME = a little, a few or a small number or amount
           • "THE DOG NEEDS SOME WATER"
           • USUALLY WE USE "SOME" IN POSITIVE SENTENCES
         • ANY = one, some or all
           • Has she got any friends? I haven’t got any rice
           • USUALLY WE USE "ANY" IN NEGATIVE SENTENCES, AND QUESTIONS
       • We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns: I've got a little money. I haven't got much rice.
