They can be preceded by a/an, one, this/that, each, every.

In the plural form they can be preceded by some, any, many, few, no, these/those.

Uncountable nouns are neither plural nor singular and they are used for items which can not be divided into smaller parts.

They are used with singular verbs and can be preceded by some, any, no, much, this/that.

To refer to particular quantities, use a phrase which includes a countable noun.
