Are there any good way or dictionary which can help us to determine if a particular abstract noun is a countable or uncountable noun.

	whl626  +  7937 Sat, 13 Sep 03 01:56 PM Yeah, they are countable nouns It depends on the situation, sometimes an abstract noun can be defined as countable if you mean different thing. eg time You can make it a countable noun if you refer to the particular time frame. eg.

	Woodward  +  7961 Sat, 13 Sep 03 10:09 PM Those nouns are countable. Most good dictionaries show when a noun is countable or uncountable by having the letter 'C' or 'U' next to it. Try the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It shows you this.
