They may be singular or plural. For singular count nouns, use a, an, the, or one. For plural count nouns, use a number, the article the, or no article. You may also use quantity words (a lot, a few, some, many). Never use a or an with a plural count noun. =============================== Non-Count Nouns (Uncountable Nouns) Non-count (or uncountable) nouns are things that we generally do not count. Non-count nouns always take a singular verb. Do not use the articles a, an, or one with non-count nouns. You may use quantity words (a lot, a little, and especially some). You can use the article the if the non-count noun is specific/definite. Certain categories of nouns are usually non-count. ================================
