Best Answer

A countable noun is a word for something that is an individual unit that can be counted.

People are individuals that can be counted; animals are individuals that can be counted; and many types of things, from apples to zoos, are individual things that can be counted.

There are also some kinds of things that can't be counted; they are called uncountable nouns. The main groups of things that can't be counted are substances and concepts. Substances are things like water, concrete, or gold. We express them by quantities such as a cup of water, a yard of concrete, and ounces of gold. Concepts are things like knowledge, independence, or diligence. We express concepts using adjectives or degrees such as a lot of knowledge, some independence, and real diligence.
