 I. Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Countable food is a type of food that can be counted because they can be used with numbers and have plural forms (-s/-es). For example, “apple” is a countable food because you can say you want “three apples”.

Uncountable food is the opposite of countable food because it does not make sense to talk about it with numbers. For example, “bread” is an uncountable food because you cannot say you want “three breads”. You can say “three loaves of bread” or “three bags of bread” because you are combining the uncountable food (which is a noun) with another noun so that the sentence makes sense.
