Count nouns can be separated into individual units and counted. They usually have both a singular and a plural form. Most English nouns are count nouns.
However, a few countable nouns only have a plural form in English. Here are a few examples:
These are often used with some sort of quantifier, or quantity word, to show how they are counted (e.g., "a pair of" pants, "two pairs of" pants, "some" pants).
Noncount (or uncountable) nouns exist as masses or abstract quantities that cannot be counted. They have no plural form. Although most English nouns are count nouns, noncount nouns frequently occur in academic writing.
