In Spanish, it is necessary to know whether a noun is masculine or femenine and singular or plural. These differentiations are going to lead us use different determiners and quantifiers before the noun. E.g. el techo, los techos, la silla, las sillas...
However, in English these grammatical differences are not relevant and speakers differentiate between countable and uncontable nouns. This means that it is crucial to know whether a noun can be counted with numbers and therefore it has got a singular and plural form (E.g. a chair, one chair, some chairs, two chairs...) or if it cannot be counted with numbers and it has just one form (E.g. water, some water...).
Fortunately, there are lots of online resources available to practice and learn how to use countable and uncountable nouns.
