COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

Insert a/an before each countable noun. Put an (x) before an uncountable noun.

We use A or AN with singular nouns.

A is used when a noun starts with a consonant sound;

e.g. A dog, a book, etc.

AN is used when a noun starts with a vowel sound;

e.g. An apple, an hour, etc.

We use SOME with countable nouns (only with their plural) and with uncountable nouns.

SOME is used in:

* positive sentences;

e.g. I have got some time.

* questions, expressing requests and offers;

E.g. Would you like some tea?

        Can I have some biscuits?

We use ANY with countable nouns (only with their plural) and with uncountable nouns.

ANY is used in:

* negative sentences;

e.g. I haven‘t got any time.  

* general questions;

e.g. Have you got any sisters?

      Is there any tea left?
