Countable and uncountable nouns worksheet with images and grammar exercises.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is about countable and uncountable nouns, which is a key concept in English grammar.

---

🔹 Part A: Put in the correct column

We need to classify each food item as either countable or uncountable, and then place them under the correct column:

- Countable nouns can be counted (e.g., apples, eggs, cakes).
- Use: There are... for plural countable nouns.
- Use: There is... for singular countable nouns.

- Uncountable nouns cannot be counted (e.g., milk, bread, cheese).
- Always use: There is... (even if it’s a large amount).

#### Step 1: Identify each item in the picture

Here are the items shown:

1. Chicken → Countable (a piece of meat)
2. Cupcake → Countable
3. Orange juice box → Uncountable (juice is liquid)
4. Oranges → Countable (plural)
5. Egg → Countable (singular)
6. Milk carton → Uncountable (milk)
7. Ice cream cone → Countable
8. Stack of cups → Countable (cups)
9. Banana → Countable
10. Cheese slice → Countable? Wait — *cheese* is usually uncountable, but we can say "a piece of cheese" — still, the noun itself is uncountable.
11. Ice cream sundae → Countable (one serving)
12. Sandwiches → Countable (plural)
13. Cake with candles → Countable (a cake)
14. Loaf of bread → Bread is uncountable, though the object is one loaf.

Now, let’s sort them into columns.

✔ Part A: Fill in the Table

| Countable | Uncountable |
|---------------|-----------------|
| There is... | There are... | There is... |
| Chicken | Oranges | Milk |
| Cupcake | Sandwiches | Juice |
| Egg | Ice cream cone | Bread |
| Banana | Cake | Cheese |
| Loaf of bread (as an object) | Cups | |
| Ice cream sundae | | |

But wait — some things are tricky:

- Bread = uncountable (we don’t say “two breads” — we say “two loaves of bread”)
- Cheese = uncountable (but you can say “a piece of cheese”)
- Milk / juice = uncountable
- Sandwiches = countable (plural)
- Cakes = countable
- Cupcakes = countable
- Ice cream = uncountable when referring to the substance, but an ice cream = countable (like a serving)

So let’s clarify:

| Countable | Uncountable |
|---------------|-----------------|
| There is... | There are... | There is... |
| Chicken | Oranges | Milk |
| Cupcake | Sandwiches | Juice |
| Egg | Ice cream cone | Bread |
| Banana | Cake | Cheese |
| Ice cream sundae | Cups | |

Wait — ice cream as a dessert (e.g., “an ice cream”) is countable, so:
- “There is an ice cream.” → Countable (singular)

Similarly, “a cupcake” is countable.

So final classification:

✔ Final Answer – Part A

| Countable | Uncountable |
|---------------|-----------------|
| There is... | There are... | There is... |
| Chicken | Oranges | Milk |
| Cupcake | Sandwiches | Juice |
| Egg | Ice cream cone | Bread |
| Banana | Cake | Cheese |
| Ice cream sundae | Cups | |
| Loaf of bread (treated as a single object) | | |

> Note: Even though bread and cheese are uncountable nouns, we may refer to them as objects (e.g., “a loaf of bread”, “a slice of cheese”), but the noun itself is uncountable.

So in the Uncountable column:
- Milk
- Juice
- Bread
- Cheese

And in Countable:
- Chicken (a whole chicken)
- Cupcake
- Orange (oranges)
- Egg
- Ice cream cone
- Banana
- Sandwiches
- Cake
- Cups
- Ice cream sundae

Now, let’s go to Part B.

🔹 Part B: Click on is or are

We need to choose between is or are based on whether the noun is singular/plural or countable/uncountable.

Remember:
- Is → used with singular subjects (including uncountable nouns)
- Are → used with plural subjects

Let’s go one by one:

1. There is / are apples.
→ Apples = plural countable → There are apples. ✔

2. There is / are an egg.
→ An egg = singular countable → There is an egg. ✔

3. There is / are bread.
→ Bread = uncountable → There is bread. ✔

4. There is / are cake.
→ Cake (as a general thing) = uncountable → There is cake. ✔
> But if it were “cakes”, it would be plural → “There are cakes.”

5. There is / are an ice cream.
→ “An ice cream” = singular countable (meaning one serving) → There is an ice cream. ✔

6. There is / are milk.
→ Milk = uncountable → There is milk. ✔

7. There is / are sandwiches.
→ Sandwiches = plural countable → There are sandwiches. ✔

8. There is / are cheese.
→ Cheese = uncountable → There is cheese. ✔

9. There is / are cakes.
→ Cakes = plural countable → There are cakes. ✔

10. There is / are a banana.
→ A banana = singular countable → There is a banana. ✔

✔ Final Answers – Part B

1. There are apples.
2. There is an egg.
3. There is bread.
4. There is cake.
5. There is an ice cream.
6. There is milk.
7. There are sandwiches.
8. There is cheese.
9. There are cakes.
10. There is a banana.

📌 Summary

#### Part A: Table

| Countable | Uncountable |
|---------------|-----------------|
| There is... | There are... | There is... |
| Chicken | Oranges | Milk |
| Cupcake | Sandwiches | Juice |
| Egg | Ice cream cone | Bread |
| Banana | Cake | Cheese |
| Ice cream sundae | Cups | |
| Loaf of bread | | |

> Note: "Loaf of bread" is a countable object, but bread as a noun is uncountable. So if the focus is on the substance, it goes under uncountable.

But since the image shows a loaf, we could argue it’s countable as a physical object. However, in language learning, bread is taught as uncountable.

So best to place bread under Uncountable.
