Uncountable nouns can be made countable if

we put the quantity information before the Noun.

• A glass of water. • Cup of tea.

Uncountable nouns are considered neither

singular nor plural but require a singular verb

form. In uncountable nouns, there is no addition

of the unit 'a', which indicates that an object is a

singular object, or the addition of “-s/es” to

indicate an object is called plural (because there

is no singular or plural form).

• Your bread is rotten.

Uncountable nouns can be added with the

words little (a little), much (a lot), and a

large/small amount of (very much/little).

• I need a little bread.

You can express an uncountable noun with

units (one or more quantities) through an

uncountable expression.
