Uncountable NounsUncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count

"milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:music, art, love, happiness advice, information, news

furniture, luggage rice, sugar, butter, water

electricity, gas, power money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:This news is very important .Your luggage looks heavy .

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a

music". But we can say a something of:a piece of news

a bottle of water a grain of rice

Nouns that can be Countable and UncountableSometimes, the same noun can be countable and uncountable, often with a change of meaning.
