(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Uncountable nouns do not usually take numbers, milk and rice and furniture use words like some or a little.

In KS3 English, you’ll review the basics of nouns and learn to match them with the right determiners. Countable nouns work with numbers (two chairs), while uncountable nouns take words like some, much, or a little. To be precise, you can use units: a bowl of rice, a piece of furniture, three litres of milk.

Key Terms

Noun: A word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.
Countable noun: A noun you can count with numbers (e.g., two books, five apples).
Uncountable noun: A mass or whole that isn’t usually counted (e.g., rice, milk, furniture).

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between countable and uncountable nouns?

Countable nouns can take numbers and plurals (three pens). Uncountable nouns are treated as singular masses and don’t usually take a plural (milk, rice, furniture).

Which determiners go with uncountable nouns?

Use determiners like some, much, a little, and less for uncountable nouns, rather than numbers or many/fewer.

How do I show exact amounts of an uncountable noun?

Use measure words or containers: a glass of milk, two kilos of rice, a piece of furniture, three bottles of water.
