A Countable and uncountable nouns
Study these sentences.研究以下句子。
Countable nouns
We can use a or an in front of countable nouns:在可数名词前可用a或an

Countable nouns have a plural:可数名词有复数形式：

Eggs have gone up again. I like eggs. (=’eggs in general’: no article)
Uncountable nouns
We cannot use a or an in front of uncountable nouns and they don’t have a plural:
在不可数名词前不可使用a或an，不可数名词也没有复数形式：
Please give me some bread.(some=’a quantity of’)
Bread is a basic food. I like bread.(=’bread in genera;’)

Some nouns can be countable or uncountable:有些名词既可作为可数名词也可作为不可数名词：
Please give me a chicken. (=’a whole bird’)
