Uncountable nouns are not counted in English. This usually has to do with the way English speakers think of these nouns. We often picture these nouns as a single concept or one big thing which is hard to divide. Many of these words are countable in other languages, but they ARE NOT countable in English. Generally, we do not use plural forms of these words; however some of these words do end in s, so dont get confused. Examples: Mack drinks a lot of water. Cindy gives great advice. Paul enjoys politics. Ends with s but uncountable Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories: Liquids and Gases water coffee milk air oxygen Solid and Granular Substances wood metal cheese sand rice Energy Words and Forces electricity sunshine radiation heat magnetism Subjects French chemistry economics science math Grouped Concepts fruit money food vocabulary news Information and Abstract Concepts information advice education democracy intelligence
