Countable & Uncountable Nouns

Hi guys❗Do you remember what things are considered uncountable nouns❓ how we can limit them❓ If you don't, read the following ❸ conversations and try to remember. Good luck 🍀❗

💬
Waitress: Would you like cream in your ☕❓
William:  Yes please, just a bit.

💬
 Lara: You look amazing❗
 Rose: Thanks❗ I get my hair cut yesterday.

💬
 Monica: There's a hair in my ☕❗

Well, if you can't remember, don't get 😟. Let´s revise this topic 😉.

Countable nouns
They are the name of things that you can count.
mobile phones 📱📱   -   children 👨👩    -   apples 🍎🍎
fish 🐟🐟.   -  books 📚


Uncountable nouns
These nouns are often the name of things, substances or abstract ideas that cannot be counted.
information   -   electricity   -   advice
traffic   -   sand   -   milk   -   rice
An uncountable noun can be limited by using a countable expresion like a bit.
      Yes please, just a bit.
                               ↳ a bit 
However, it is better to use a more specific expression such as: 'a piece of', 'an item of', etc. 
a piece/slice of cake  🍰
a clap of thunder  ⚡🙉 
an item of clothing  👚
a bar of chocolate  🍫
an item of news  📰 
a cup of coffee  ☕.
a loaf of bread  🍞

Countable & Uncountable Nouns
Some nouns can be countable and uncountable and have a difference in meaning.
      I get my hair cut yesterday.
      There's a hair in my coffee!
In the first sentence, someone is talking about the hair on their head ➡️  💇.
While in the second one, somebody is annoying because found a hair in the coffee ➡️  ノ+ ☕.

I hope that everyone can understand this lesson. Tell me in the 💬 if you have any question.
