I'm not good at writing English, so I'll try my best.
Why teachers/textbooks never teach this kind of noun? They always talk about easy nouns like:
+ countable nouns: dog, house
+ uncountable nouns: money, happiness
+ nouns that have 2 separate forms: experience, glass, coffee
How about nouns [C or U]?
How can I understand these weird nouns?
Ex: ability, character, advantage, appearance, advance, attack, analysis, age...
Dictionaries only give a definition, and then they have many examples. When I read these sentences I don't know which nouns are countable/uncountable. Some words are easy to recognize with a/an/one/many, but some words are quite hard to guess (the/my/preposition + noun).
I've asked so many teachers in my country but they said nothing or talked about nouns with 2 separate forms (oh no, I understand these nouns).
Please help me! I can't write/speak easily because nouns became an obsession.
