Countable Uncountable

[Leviwosc]

water, is uncountable. Though people tend to say: 'some water'. For example: "I need some water and soap to clean the toilet" or "Bring me some water please, my dog is thirsty". Why can I use 'some' here although 'water' is an uncountable noun.

@Leviwosc I think you should watch he video again. Particularly around 01:15.

@Linguaspectrum : Ah yes now I understand it. You didn't say that 'some' can only be used in combination with countable nouns. It was my erroneous interpretation which made me think that.

Thank You Mr Richard, your lessons are great! I'd be pleased if you made a lesson connected with tricky grammar e.g. using will in the past sentences. All the best in 2011 year!
