Anonymous  +  844642 Sun, 02 Aug 09 04:45 PM I understand a countable noun is presented by a number and it can be presentd in both the singular form and plural form and an uncountable noun can not be presented in the singular form and can not be presented by a number, However I am struggling to find out if DREAM and IMAGINATION is a countable noun or uncountable please can you help.

Anyway, to find out whether a word is countable or not, and if there are exceptions, you should always look it up in a dictionary. http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/dream_1 http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/imagination You can see that they say "imagination" can be countable too and they give the example "Children often have very vivid imaginations", but if you look at all the other examples you will see it's basically always uncountable. Just look up the words you are unsure about and check the examples as well. Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member 4,966 Parental Advisory / Explicit Posts Nouns, Uncountable Nouns
