0:08 | Hi. I'm Anne, and I speak American English. |
0:11 | I'm a student, and I like to read and learn about languages. |
0:16 | Today, we will learn about the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. |
0:25 | Try to notice the difference between the countable and uncountable nouns in this story. |
0:31 | Some of the countable and uncountable nouns are highlighted. |
0:35 | The countable nouns are in red, |
0:37 | and the uncountable nouns are in purple. |
0:44 | In winter, it's very cold where I live. |
0:48 | There's snow and ice. |
0:54 | Sometimes, I dream that I'm visiting an island that has sand and palm trees. |
1:04 | My friends and I sit in the sunshine |
1:07 | and we listen to the music that plays on our radio. |
1:15 | After that, we swim in the water. |
1:22 | But when I wake up from my dream it's cold |
1:25 | so I put on a coat and gloves and I walk to school. |
1:35 | So, what's the difference between countable and uncountable nouns? |
1:40 | Let's begin with countable nouns. |
1:43 | Countable nouns are nouns that we can count. |
1:46 | Therefore, these nouns can be plural. |
1:49 | They can have the plural ending "s" or "es". |
1:52 | And the can take plural forms of verbs. |
1:55 | For example, I saw three cats run. |
2:04 | If there is only one countable noun, we use the indefinite article "a" or "an." |
2:11 | For example, there is a tree in the park. |
2:19 | Uncountable nouns are nouns that we cannot count. |
2:24 | Therefore, these nouns do not have plural forms. |
2:28 | They never have the plural ending "s" or "es." |
2:31 | And they never take plural forms of verbs. |
2:35 | For example, snow is cold. |
2:43 | Uncountable nouns also never take the indefinite articles "a" or "an." |
2:50 | For example, I listen to music. |
2:57 | Now it's your turn. Click pause, and choose the uncountable nouns. |
3:21 | Task of the week: try to write a sentence with an uncountable noun. |
3:37 | Next time, we will learn about quantifiers. |
3:41 | This is American English. Thank you for watching. |
