What is a "non-count noun"?
A non-count noun is a noun that refers to substances, concepts, or things that cannot be counted as individual units. These nouns do not have plural forms and are typically used with words like "some" or "much" instead of numbers. For example, "water" is a non-count noun because you cannot say "one water" or "two waters." Other examples include "information," "furniture," and "advice." Understanding non-count nouns is important for using the correct quantifiers and verb agreement in sentences, ensuring clear and grammatically correct communication.
