UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
- Nouns that can not be represented by a
number, are called UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
- WE CANNOT DIVIDE THE
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS INTO
SEPARATE ELEMENTS
- IF ..WE CANNOT "COUNT THEM" ....FOR EXAMPLE:
We CAN count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", BUT
we CANNOT count "milk" itself.
- We can use some and any
with uncountable nouns:
I've got some money. Have
you got any rice?
- SOME = a little, a few or a small
number or amount
- "THE DOG NEEDS SOME WATER"
- USUALLY WE USE "SOME" IN POSITIVE SENTENCES
- ANY = one, some or all
- Has she got any friends?
I haven’t got any rice
- USUALLY WE USE "ANY" IN
NEGATIVE SENTENCES, AND
QUESTIONS
- We can use a little and much
with uncountable nouns: I've
got a little money. I haven't
got much rice.
