NON-COUNT NOUNS

Noncount nouns are things that cannot be separated into countable parts, like fun, anger, and electricity, are noncount nouns and cannot be plural. 

You cannot say:

 “We had funs yesterday” or “His angers were powerful.” 

You can only say: 

 “We had fun yesterday,” and “His anger was powerful.”

It's not always predictable which nouns will be noncount. If you’re not sure about a particular noun, look it up.

Nouns that can be count or noncount

The most difficult part of the count/noncount distinction is that some nouns can be count or noncount, depending on the specific meaning and context. 

To take into account:

 Noncount nouns do not use the indefinite articles "a" or "an." They can, however, use the definite article "the" if what is being referred to is specific. They can also use no article if what is being referred to is general (generic) or nonspecific.
