COUNTABLE NOUNS. APA TU?

WHAT IS THAT? COUNTABLE NOUNS is KATA NAMA YANG BOLEH DIKIRA.

YOU CAN COUNT THEM RIGHT?

COUNTABLE NOUNS

• REFER TO SEPARATE ITEM (ITEM BERASINGAN)

• THEY CAN BE SINGULAR AND PLURAL. (SISTER / SISTERS)

• WE USE AN ARTICLE (A/AN/THE) BEFORE SINGULAR COUNTABLE NOUNS. -Example :A SISTER / AN AUNT / THE CHAIR - KALAU JUMPA KATA NAMA BERSIFAT SINGULAR (SATU) MACAM SISTER, CHAIR , LETAK SALAH SATU DARI ARTICLE (A/AN/THE) DEPAN DIA.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS>>

KATA NAMA YANG TIDAK BOLEH DIKIRA MACAM

INFORMATION

SUGAR

MEAT

RICE

SAND

MEMANG TAK BOLEH KIRA!

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS ..

• REFER TO THINGS THAT CANNOT BE COUNTED LIKE 'SAND', 'SUGAR', 'RICE' ,'SALT' AND ETC.

• REFER TO THE ABSTRACT IDEAS SUCH AS 'INFORMATION'

• THESE NOUNS DO NOT HAVE PLURAL NOUNS - DIA TAK ADA DALAM BENTUK PLURAL - SALTS (X), SUGARS (X) - THOSE ARE WRONG!

BUT..

SOME NOUNS CAN BE BOTH COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE DEPENDING ON THEIR MEANING.
