Classification of Nouns in English
1. Common nouns are divided into countable, example: university, book and uncountable, example: snow, beauty. Countable nouns include the names of objects and persons that can be counted, therefore they are used in both singular and plural: a room – two rooms, an engineer– many engineers. Countable nouns are used in the singular with the indefinite article “a/an”; combined with numerals or with words denoting quantity: many, some, several, a few, few. Example: many cities, some journals, several enterprises, a few hotels, few friends.
