Guest  +  99950 Mon, 16 May 05 08:09 AM How many walls are there in a room? Four? Is the word WALL countable or uncounterable? Thanks for your comment. Guest

	joeviee  +  99976 Mon, 16 May 05 10:28 AM Guest, I'm not sure but i would use WALLS in your sentences since it is a known fact that a room can't be a ROOM without four walls. Heard of "Walls have ears"?? Based on the saying. i would say wall is a countable noun. I'm not 100% sure about it though, let's just wait for the moderator to give us the exact explanation. joeviee Joined on Sat, Apr 30 2005 Full Member 171 Nouns, Countable Nouns

	pieanne  +  99977 Mon, 16 May 05 10:36 AM Yes, a room usually has 4 wallS (it is a countable). On the other hand, if the room is circular, I guess there is only one wall, a room with 2 walls doesn't exist, unless it has the shape of a D. From there, I'd say a room can have as many walls as the architect wishes (octogonal room etc...) pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
