Countable Nouns with Examples

Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are things that we can count.

Here are some more Countable Nouns:

Dogs, cats, wallets, bags, pencils, pens, bottles, fans, chairs, tables, boxes, cups, notes, animals, men, person, people etc…
 

How to Use Countable Nouns in a Sentence:

Countable nouns can be singular or plural. If you have one chocolate, it'll come in the singular form. If you have a dozen chocolates, it'll come in the plural form. Additionally, these nouns can be preceded by a number or the determiners "a" or "an."
 
For example:

• My cat is drinking milk.

• My cats are hungry.

• A cat is an animal.

 

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/an/the/my/this with it:

• I want an apple. (not I want apple.)

• Where is my bag? (not Where is bag?)

 

When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:

• I like apples.

• Chocolates can eat.

 

We can use some, a few, any and many with countable nouns:

• I've got some chocolates.

• Have you got any chocolates?

• I've got a few chocolates.

• I haven't got many chocolates.
