Countable and Uncountable Nouns in Food and Drink

Countable nouns can be counted individually, such as 'apple' or 'tomato', while uncountable nouns, like 'milk' or 'soup', cannot be counted directly. The tutorial provides examples of each type and explains the grammatical implications, such as the use of 'some' with uncountable nouns. It also highlights nouns that can be both countable and uncountable, like 'fish' and 'chicken'. The video concludes with practical examples to reinforce the concepts.
