📌 What are Partitive Nouns?
Partitive nouns are words like *cup, piece, bar, spoon, kilo, jar, glass, cone, bag, bottle* — they help us talk about
amounts or portions of things that are usually
uncountable (you can’t say “one water”, “two chocolates” in the same way you say “one apple”, “two books”).

💡 Extra Tip:
Some of these nouns can be both countable and uncountable depending on context!
- *Chocolate* → uncountable (the substance), countable (a chocolate = a piece of candy)
- *Pizza* → uncountable when talking about the food type, countable when talking about individual pizzas (“I ate two pizzas”)
But in this exercise, we’re using them with partitives, so we treat them as uncountable substances.
