Explanation

The chapter explains that countable nouns can be counted individually (like apples, buses, chairs) and have plural forms. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted individually (like water, rice, air) and usually do not have plural forms. Note: 'Mashed potatoes' is uncountable as a dish, while 'potatoes' (individual vegetables) are countable. 'Coffee jars' are countable containers, but 'coffee' (the substance) is uncountable.
