* Countables and uncountables
There are countable and uncountable nouns in English.
Countable nouns:
Most of the nouns are countable, You can combine them with numbers, e.g one, two or three.
Here is an example:
one pencil
two pencils
three pencils
etc.
Uncountable nouns:
These nouns can't be combined with numbers.
Here is an example:
water
If you want to express a quantity, you have to use a special phrase e.g. a glass of water.
NOTE:
Some nouns can be either countable or uncountable. I recommend to use a good dictionary.
Here is an example, too. hair - hairs
You've got some hairs on your T-shirt. ( There might be 5 or 6 of them ).
Your hair looks lovely. ( Here you think of the hairstyle.)
