Task
What are countless nouns? Words like sugar and money are countless in Spanish, since we can not say "two sugars", "three monies". In English you will also find words that are not countable. Let's see the following examples:
Characteristics:
They do not have a plural form.
You can not count.
They can not be used with indeterminate items (a / an) in front of them.
They always use the verb in the singular.
Some examples of countless nouns:
Flour (flour):
Plural form: it is said flour
Can not say flours / it is not correct to say 3 flours / it is not correct to say flour.
Milk (milk):
Plural form: it says milk
You can not say milks / it is not correct to say 5 milks / it is not correct to say milk.
Snow (snow):
Plural form: it says snow
You can not say snows / it's not right to say 10 snows / it's not right to say snow.
Sugar (sugar):
Plural form: it says sugar
You can not say sugars / it is not correct to say 4 sugars / it is not correct to say sugar.
A noun is countable when it can be counted in units. For example, book is an accountant, because you can say:
one book
two books
six books
A noun is uncountable when it can not be counted in units. For example, milk is uncountable because you can not say "one milk", "two milks", but some reference must be made, such as to the container:
two bottles of milk
Countable
They have a plural form
Example: pencils
You can use forward numbers
Example: two pencils
It can be used a / an forward
Example: a pencil
How many is used
Example: How many pencils?
Uncountable

Process
They are used to ask for amounts of something.
In the case of accounting nouns, How many is applied.
If it is countless nouns, How much is used.
These expressions are always followed by a noun; then, the verb and the rest of the sentence.
How many cars do you have?
How much money do you have?
How much is also used to ask for prices.
How much is this car?
How much are the potatoes?
They are also used in a generic way to ask "how much is there". In this case, they are followed by the noun and then, is / are there.
How many cars are there?
How much money is there?
These questions are answered using There is / are, depending on whether it is singular or plural.
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
The words some and any are used. As a general rule, some is applied in affirmative sentences, while any is used in interrogative and negative sentences.
Is there any sugar?
Exception: Some are used in questions when they are offering or asking for something:
Would you like some sugar in your tea?
COUNTABLE NOUNS
These words can also be used with countable nouns ...
Is there any pencil?
Now answer.
Which of these nouns are countable and which are countless?
Ask yourself which ones can be counted in units and which ones can not be counted.
