The rules
- Countable nouns have plurals and can take a or an, but uncountable nouns like water, advice and information can’t: a book, two books, some advice.
- Some plurals are irregular, so learn them: child → children, mouse → mice, knife → knives, criterion → criteria.
- Use many, few and a few with plural countable nouns, and much, little and a little with uncountable nouns: many books, much water.
- Few and little mean “not enough,” while a few and a little mean “some”: We have a little time, so let’s visit the museum.
- Use number and fewer with countable nouns, and amount and less with uncountable ones: fewer cars, less noise.
- Each and every take a singular noun and verb, but one of the takes a plural noun: Every student has a book, and this is one of the best books.
- A number + noun used before another noun is joined with a hyphen and stays singular: a five-year plan, a ten-minute walk.
