Countable & uncountable nouns
The next slides will inform you  about countable and uncountable nouns. In Dutch these are called: "telbare- en ontelbare zelfstandige naamwoorden".

Countable nouns
You can say a number before these nouns. There is a plural form: one banana, two bananas, one orange, three oranges. You can use a/an: a banana, an orange.

Uncountable nouns
You can’t say a number or a/an before these nouns.
There is no plural form: five pastas, three breads.

Slide 11 - Slide

a or an?
Het lidwoord “een” is in het Engels “a’ of “an”. Je gebruikt “a” als het woord erna begint met een medeklinker/consonant (b, c, d, etc.)
en “an” als het woord erna begint met een klinker/vowel (a, e, i, etc.).

Maar let op!! Het gaat erom hoe je het woord dat volgt op “a” of “an” uitspreekt en niet hoe je het schrijft!

Slide 12 - Slide

a or an?
Het kan dus zijn dat je een woord schrijft met een medeklinker (consonant), maar uitspreekt als een klinker (vowel).
Bijvoorbeeld: “an honest man” ipv “a honest man”, want je spreekt de “h” niet uit. Je zegt: [onest]. Andersom komt het ook voor. Je zegt “a one-armed man” en niet “an one-armed man, omdat je “one” uitspreekt als [wan].
