Grammar – Countable and Uncountable Nouns in English

Hello Valen,
I like your lesson a lot. You are a good teacher. I have some question for you. Why is the cat not able to drank a lot of some milk.
I think a cat can drink some milk so why is it not like that? I hope you understand this question.

Hi Vallen,

Great lesson. I hope you keep going making more lessons for us.

I have a question:

If orange is a countable noun, Why I can’t say : I want two oranges ?

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Hi Valen,
first of all.. u r sooooo.. beauty. 2nd, yr class is very nice and very helpful. but i culdn’t get the answer to this question, how we use the article “a/an” with countable and uncountable nouns.
And about me.. ‘m from Kerala, India, due to lack of vocabulary, i think i can’t speak in english fluently. now ‘m trying by reading english daily news and listening yr classes.
I hope u would come infront of us by collecting more useful lectures

Hi Valen,

I want to ask you a question. Which one is correct?
a) My hair is black or my hair are black.
b) Some parts of my hair turns red or some parts of my hair turn red.
Sometimes I am confused to differenciate which uncountable nouns used as singulars and which ones as plurals.

Thanks for the answer, otherwise such a great and fun lesson you have.

Hi Valen. You are a very good teacher. writing is very clear, your voice is very nice ¿where are you? ¿why don’t working more? ¡ja,ja¡ I hope your lesson about “prepositions” “contractions” and other. thank, happy vacation. Hi

thanks alot you aways my teacher
and you very geart teacher and thanks very much

Hi Valen,

Thanks for you wonderful lessons. Actually I am a bit confused with my existing knowledge about uncountable noun. “Please give me some suggestions/suggestion.” Which one is correct? Suggestions or suggestion?

Best regards,
Gustav

Hi Teacher…

I have a question. How could I understand and say the next sentence?
The milk (Uncountable noun (It)) and Valen (Countable noun (she)) are biologically degradable. Hence..
“Its are no pollutants”
“they are no pollutants”
“Its are no some pollutant”
“they are some pollutant”
“Its are no many pollutant”
“they are no many pollutant”

With Best Wishes!
Sincerely,
Juan Lopez
