For example: flowers, tomatoes, etc.

We use a or an before a noun we can count. For example: a potato, an orange. (It means one potato, one orange.) How much? Uncountable nouns are nouns (things) we cannot count. For example: sugar, rice, etc. We use some before a noun we cannot count. For example: some sugar, some rice. Tip! We use MANY with the plural form of the verb “To Be” (“are”)! We use MUCH with the singular form of the verb “To Be” (“is”)!
