The 2 Types of Nouns:
Countable and Uncountable
*️⃣ Countable nouns are – as the name suggests – nouns that you can count (e.g. bicycles, watches, pineapples).
If you CAN answer the question “How many do you have?”, then you are dealing with a countable noun.
Let’s take the 3 aforementioned nouns as an example.
In all of these examples we can answer the question “How many bicycles/watches/pineapples do you have?”
For example: I have 3 bicycles/watches/pineapples.
As we can answer the “How many do you have?” question, we can conclude that they are countable nouns.
If you want to say “some” with countable nouns, then you have to change the article (le, la, l’) to des.
