3 II. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Count Nouns and Non- Count Nouns (5-6 minutes) ( 可算名詞と不可算名詞 ) Count nouns are things that can be counted. Usually, these are things that can be seen or heard. These nouns can be in singular and plural forms. Non-Count nouns are things that cannot be counted. These are things that cannot be broken into smaller parts or units. They don t have a plural form. They are usually abstract or collective nouns. ( 可算名詞とは 数えられる名詞のことです 原則 見たり聞いたりできるものを指し 単数形と複数形があります それに対して 不可算名詞とは数えられない名詞です よ り小さく分けられないもの 抽象名詞や集合名詞がこれに当たります 不可算名詞には 複数形はありません ) Remember: It is possible to use articles such as a and an with a singular count noun. However, since noncount nouns do not have plural forms, we use words like some, a lot, or a little to express their quantity. ( ポイント : 可算名詞には a an の冠詞をつけます 不可算名詞は複数形がないため 量を表すときは some, a lot or a little を使います ) Examples: Count Nouns ( 可算名詞 ) singular ( 単数 ) plural ( 複数 ) paper ((1 枚の ) 紙 ) papers ( 何枚もの ) 紙 / 書類 ) worker (( 一人の ) 労働者 ) workers (( 何人もの ) 労働者 ) computer(( 一台の ) コンピューター ) computers (( 何台もの ) コンピューター ) document (( 一通の ) 公文書 ) documents (( 何通もの ) 公文書 ) Page 3
