Answer 2

To answer this question, we need to understand the difference between countable and uncountable nouns.

Countable nouns are objects or things that can be counted, such as "book," "chair," or "apple." These nouns have both singular and plural forms. For example, we can say "one book" or "two books."

Uncountable nouns, on the other hand, are substances or concepts that cannot be counted, such as "water," "information," or "happiness." These nouns do not have a plural form and are always used in the singular. For example, we say "a glass of water" or "some information."

In the text, we need to underline the correct words that are used with countable or uncountable nouns. We also need to find more examples in the text.

Here are some examples of words used with countable nouns:

- "books" (plural form of "book") - "chairs" (plural form of "chair") - "apples" (plural form of "apple")

And here are some examples of words used with uncountable nouns:

- "water" (used as it is, without a plural form) - "information" (used as it is, without a plural form) - "happiness" (used as it is, without a plural form)

Finally, there are some words that can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. These words can change their meaning depending on the noun they are used with. For example:

- "paper" can refer to a sheet of paper (countable) or the material itself (uncountable) - "time" can refer to a specific moment or period (countable) or the concept of time in general (uncountable) - "money" can refer to a specific amount of currency (countable) or wealth in general (uncountable)

In conclusion, countable nouns are objects that can be counted, uncountable nouns are substances or concepts that cannot be counted, and some words can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns, changing their meaning accordingly.
