A noun can be countable or uncountable

Countable nouns are used for things we can count: a book – two books

Uncountable nouns are used for things that we cannot count: music, advice, air, snow, bread, TV, information, water, progress, news, damage, food, weather, work etc.

Uncountable nouns have only one form: No news is good news. What sort of music do you listen to?

Articles a / an are not used with uncountable nouns: He doesn’t eat meat.

Some / any and much / little are used with uncountable nouns: Excuse me, where can I get some information about the event?

Thank you for attention!
