Default Re: count and noncount nouns

Why the confusion?

If you can count the word, like

One car, two cars, three cars

then car must be countable



just try counting the word to see if it is countable

One rice, two rice, three rice

No,
rice is not countable, you have to say a grain of rice, or a sack of rice
