English has a series of nouns called uncountable nouns or non-count nouns. Many of these are similar to Portuguese, but some of them are confusing. This short series of posts is going to look at the different types of uncountable nouns.
Uncountable nouns are always considered singular
Uncountable nouns do not use “a/an” but they can use “the”
Uncountable never use “many.” They use “much” or “a lot of”
The first type of uncountable noun talked about items which do not have distinct parts. The second type of uncountable noun HAS distinct parts, but they are small and insignificant. Again, many types of food are included in this list.
Rice
Sugar
Salt
Hair
Flour
Dust
Snow
Sand
