CAN YOU COUNT ?

Some things you can count, some things you can’t count.

For example:

I can count dogs. + =
But I can’t count water.
I can’t say: The dog is drinking three waters.
I can say: The dog is drinking some water.

I can count tapes or CDs.
I have twelve CDs by Michael Jackson.
But I can’t count music. I can’t have one music, or two musics.

I can have a cup of tea.
But I make the drink with some tea.

Look at these words and decide if you can count them. Make two lists. Put things you can count, or countable nouns, in one list, and things you can’t count, or uncountable nouns, in the other.

dog	soap	water	pop music
tea	banana	ink	student
tree	salt	rice	balloon
bridge	sugar	coffee	oranges
milk	paper	money	key
paint	car	cheese	bus
