Study the information about countable and uncountable nouns. Part 1
Anything that can be counted, whether singular - a dog, a house, a friend, etc. or plural - a few books, lots of oranges, etc. is a countable noun.
Anything that cannot be counted is an uncountable noun. Uncountable nouns are not individual objects, they are always singular.
