Some nouns can be counted. For example, five oranges, ten fingers, six buns, two spoons.

Some nouns cannot be counted. For example, milk, cereal, tea, cheese, bread.

Nouns that can be counted are called countable nouns and nouns that cannot be
counted are called uncountable nouns.

Let’s Play
Get into two groups, say Group A and Group B. One member of Group A will

write an uncountable noun on the board.
Then, one member of Group B will come up to the board and draw the image

of the partitive noun that can go with that uncountable noun. The group gets a
point if they draw correctly. The group that gets the most points wins.
