Uncountable nouns and plural nouns


Uncountable nouns (e.g. information) :
Don’t have a plural form (information)
Are used with a singular verb (the information is)
Cannot be used with the indefinite article ‘a/an’. ( I want some information)

Countable nouns are for things we can count.
Example : dog, horse, man, shop, idea.
Uncountable nouns are for the  things that we cannot count.
Example : tea, sugar, water, air, rice.

Plural nouns (e.g trousers)
Only have a plural form and cannot be used with ‘a/an’ trousers
Usually have a plural verb (the trousers are)
Some plural nouns can be made singular using a pair of, e.g. a pair of trousers/sunglass
Other words which are usually plural include :
I bought a pair of  jeans yesterday.
There shorts are too long.
