Use a/an before singular nouns; use many or a few before plural nouns and add ~(e)s to the noun. a/an many a few ~(e)s a). I am an employee of that company. There are 50 employees at that company. b). Q: How many departments are there in your company? A: There are only a few departments here. 3. Countable nouns can also be counted with numbers: one meeting, two employees.... II. Uncountable (or non-count or mass) Nouns 1. Uncountable nouns have only one form. All are singular so don t add ~(e)s. They always take a singular verb. a). Music makes me feel good. ( ) 2. Don t use a/an ; use much or a little. Use any with negatives or questions. a). If you have a little knowledge, you will go far. b). How much money do you have? c). There isn t any milk. 3. To count them, you need a unit of measure (usually a container or shape). These are like Japanese counter words: a). A piece of advice. b).

Can you give me some advice? (Uncountable) b). I have a lot of meetings this afternoon (Countable) 5. A dictionary will usually tell you if a noun is countable (C) or uncountable (U). III. Tip for the TOEIC - Plan your TOEIC study. Procrastination is one of the key reasons students fail the TOEIC test. You may book your TOEIC test months in advance. However, the day you decide to take the TOEIC test should be the day you start to study. You will have to decide if you are going to teach yourself the TOEIC or if you are going to take a TOEIC class. To get the best results, you should do both. If you cannot afford to take a TOEIC class, make sure to get a TOEIC textbook that has explanatory answers. You will also want to have a teacher or tutor that you can go to from time to time with questions.
