How to Count Non-Count Nouns
Introduction
Although non-count nouns are supposed to be uncountable, we sometimes need to count them. At least, we sometimes need to explain the quantity of something which is non-count. We can do this by using a measurement word, or counter, like this:
 |
a bar of chocolate |
 |
two loaves of bread |
 |
three slices of meat |
It's useful to learn some of the most common measurement words and how they are used. Here are some examples:
| Measurement word | Nouns used with it |
|---|---|
| bar | chocolate soap |
| cube | sugar ice |
| game | tennis soccer cards |
| glass | wine beer water juice |
| piece | advice information baggage clothing furniture homework machinery |
