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+ ☕.
