A noun (noun) is anything to which we can add a description.
We consider countable to what we CAN count with numbers. For example:
We consider uncountable that which we CANNOT count with numbers. For example:
In English, there are times when we do not need to use articles (the, a, an) to accompany nouns. Especially, when the nouns are uncountable. We do not say I need a love, but I need love, since love cannot be measured in quantity.
Notice the absence of the article.
Review: Create your own sentences with tea and ice cream, without using articles.
When we talk about people, things or situations in a general way, that is, without referring to something specific, we do not use articles either.
Note that none of these sentences use the, a or an; that is, they do not use articles.
NOTE: As we can see, in Spanish, sentences do take the article. However, in English they should not be used, since they are generalized. In the first example, life is beautiful, we are referring to life in general, not to the life of someone specific.
Create 5 examples of sentences with nouns that do not require the use of articles. Here are my 5 examples if you can use them as a guide.
