Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted, such as apples, and use words like "a", "an", "a few" to indicate quantity. Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted, like milk, and use words like "much", "a little", "a bit" to indicate quantity. Some quantity words like "a lot of", "some", and "any" can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns.
