    This document summarizes countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns can be counted and have both a singular and plural form. They take articles like "a" or "an" and can be counted using quantifiers like "many." Uncountable nouns cannot be counted and only have a singular form without articles. They are quantified using terms like "much" or "a little." The document provides examples of countable nouns like "apple" and uncountable nouns like "water" to illustrate these differences in grammar and usage.
