A brief introduction to count and non-count nouns. ESL learners must master this before they can properly use articles and modifiers with nouns. The video is an explanation only but I'll eventually post some follow up exercises/

  • @edwardlinnnorris Thanks for your comments, and thanks for taking the time to write them. I can only say that it all depends on two things: the dictionary, and the ability of the user to use the dictionary. Any good dictionary will have all the necessary information, and any competent learner will know how to take advantage of that information.

  • A dictionary can't tell you if all words are countable or uncountable. Smoke in the dictionary, and the slang word for a cigarrette are the same word....Advice means several different things...advices are physical pieces paper....."I received 2 advices in the mail today".......The dictionary doesn't always know which one you are referring to. You can't always go by the dictionary. Plus, there are some words that can be either countable or uncountable...The dictionary won't tell you that..

  • @camilomismo Thank you for your comment. the ending is not an advertisement. The dictionary is a bona fide learning dictionary by Cambridge, and students find have found it very useful. I added it to show students how to use a dictionary.

  • this video was a deception for me it began really good and ended in a web page advertisement
