Countable Nouns
Countable Nouns
Countable nouns refer to things that we can count. Such nouns can take either singular or plural form.
Concrete nouns may be countable. - There are a dozen flowers in the vase. - He ate an apple for a snack.
The main difference between countable and uncountable nouns is whether you can count the things they refer to or not. Example sentences:
I stepped in a puddle. (How many puddles did you step in? Just one.)
Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns refer to things that we cannot count. Such nouns take only singular form.
Abstract nouns are uncountable. Examples: The price of freedom is constant vigilance. Her writing shows maturity and intelligence.
Some concrete nouns are uncountable (when understood in their undivided sense). The price of oil has stabilized recently.
Certain nouns in English belong to both classes: they have both a noncount and a count meaning. Normally the noncount meaning is abstract and general and the count meaning concrete and specific. Compare: Count I've had some difficulties finding a job. (refers to a number of specific problems) Noncount She succeeded in school with little difficulty. (refers to the general idea of school being difficult)
Count
The talks will take place in the Krannert building. (refers to a number of specific lectures) The city was filled with bright lights and harsh sounds. (refers to a number of specific lights and noises)
Noncount I dislike idle talk. (refers to talking in general) Light travels faster than sound. (refers to the way light and sound behave in general)
Uncountable Sense
Art is often called an imitation of life.
Life is precious. He likes to eat pizza. Religion has been a powerful force in history.
Countable Sense
I read a book about the folk arts of Sweden. A cat has nine lives. How many pizzas should we order? Many religions are practiced in the United States .

Possessive Nouns
In the possessive case, a noun or pronoun changes its form to show that it owns or is closely related to something else. Usually, nouns become possessive by adding a combination of an apostrophe and the letter "s."
Examples
You can form the possessive case of a singular noun that does not end in "s" by adding an apostrophe and "s," as in the following sentences:
The red suitcase is Cassandra's. The only luggage that was lost was the prime minister's. The miner's face was covered in coal dust.
You can form the possessive case of a singular noun that ends in "s" by adding an apostrophe alone or by adding an apostrophe and "s," as in the following examples:
The bus's seats are very uncomfortable. The bus' seats are very uncomfortable. Felicia Hemans's poetry was once more popular than Lord Byron's. Felicia Hemans' poetry was once more popular than Lord Byron's.
You can form the possessive case of a plural noun that does not end in "s" by adding an apostrophe and a "s," as in the following examples: The children's mittens were scattered on the floor of the porch. The sheep's pen was mucked out every day.
You can form the possessive case of a plural noun that does end in "s" by adding an apostrophe: The concert was interrupted by the dogs' barking, the ducks' quacking, and the babies' squalling. The janitors' room is downstairs and to the left. My uncle spent many hours trying to locate the squirrels' nest.
