4. Count Nouns Issues
English has two general categories of nouns: countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns can be counted, like a pillow; it is easy to count the number of pillows on the bed. On the other hand, uncountable nouns cannot be counted; like liquids (oil, juice, water), materials (meat, gold, silver), powder, and abstract nouns (information, advice, care). Chinese speakers tend to make a mistake when it comes to the fact that a mass noun does not change forms.
Mistake Example:
“Kate gave me some advices for my exam.”
“I have a lot of furnitures in my old house.”
