As far as thinking about coun and non-count noun, though two things have helped me when I explain it often when there are different kinds of things in a group it's a non-count money works here: coins, bills, gold pieces are all kinds of money.

In grammar, when we say that 'money' is uncountable, we mean that we cannot say, "One money, Two money, etc." But 'coins' is countable. We can say "One cent, two cents, ten cents, fifty cents."http://www.englishforums.com/English/CoinsMoneyCountableNouns/zjrql/post.htm#462160Wed, 27 May 2009 03:33:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:462160nona the brit2http://www.englishforums.com/English/CoinsMoneyCountableNouns/zjrql/post.htm#462160http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-462160.xmlCoins are but money isn't.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CoinsMoneyCountableNouns/zjrql/post.htmWed, 27 May 2009 03:33:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:462105Vincent Teo3http://www.englishforums.com/English/CoinsMoneyCountableNouns/zjrql/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-462105.xmlShall I know, "Coins and money" - are they countable nouns?
