Uncountable nouns 
Uncountable nouns can be specified or measured. 
You can add a measure word (unit of measurement) --> This specifies the quantity of the noun. 
e.g. 
      coffee = uncountable noun. (koffie) 
      measure word: cup (kopje) 
      --> a cup of coffee = een kopje koffie 

a cup of coffee is countable ! one cup of coffee, two cups of coffee,....

Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb and usually don't have a plural form. 
To make uncountable nouns countable, we use: quantifiers (e.g. some) and container (a corton). 

Slide 10 - Slide

Uncountable nouns
rice = uncountable noun (rijst) 
measure word: grain (korrel)
                                example: a grain of rice = een rijstkorrel 
a = quantity
grain (of) = measure word 
rice = uncountable noun 

a grain of rice is countable! 
one grain of rice (1 rijstkorrel), two grains of rice (twee rijstkorrels)

Slide 11 - Slide

Countable nouns 
Countable nouns can be counted.
e.g. 
      eggs = countable noun. (eieren) 
      --> 1 egg, 2 eggs, 3 eggs 

Countable nouns have:
- a singular form (a pear, a horse...)
- a plural form (two pears, two horses...) 


Slide 12 - Slide

countable and uncountable
Some nouns can be both countable and uncountable. This depends on the context in the sentence. 

Example:  noun: ice cream 
- He has already had an ice cream today       --> countable
- I really love ice cream                                           --> uncountable

Example: noun: light 
- There are several lights in this room.           --> countable 
- The room was filled with light.                        --> uncountable

How to use indefinite articles (onbepaald lidwoord)

We use a before words beginning with a consonant sound.

We use an before words beginning with a vowel sound.
            e.g. an insect, an elephant, an hour
