COUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted as individual
units. They have both singular and plural forms. For example,
you can say "one book" (singular) or "two books" (plural).
You can use numbers directly with countable nouns, and they
often take articles like "a" or "an" in the singular form, for
example “My father has a red car.
EXAMPLES

cannot be counted or measured individually. Below is a detailed
explanation on this topic:
*Characteristics of non-countable nouns*
1. They are not plural.
2. They cannot be counted individually.

little, enough).
