countable nouns: คุณกำลังดูกระทู้
Dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, saya jumpai banyak yang mengalami kesulitan memahami contoh countable dan uncountable noun. Dalam hal ini, hal dasar yang perlu diketahui terelebih dahulu adalah pengertian keduanya, penggunaan, serta perbedaan masing-masing.
Tidak hanya itu, agar lebih mudah difahami, saya coba urai secara detail. Dengan harapan, Anda dapat menguasainya dengan baik dan mudah.

Countable Noun
Tahukah anda apa arti countable noun? Jawabannya sangatlah mudah.
Secara harfiah, “countable” artinya dapat di hitung, sedangkan “noun” artinya kata benda. sehingga dapat kita simpulkan dengan mudah, countable noun adalah kata benda yang dapat di hitung.
Perhatikan contoh berikut:
- a book (sebuah buku)
- 3 books (tiga buku)
- many books (banyak buku)
Untuk memahami apa dan bagaimana noun, baca artikel sebelumnya tentang contoh noun bahasa Inggris.
Pola Countable Noun
Countable noun memiliki dua bentuk, yaiut singular (tunggal), dan plural (jamak)
Bentuk singular dari countable noun menunjukkan pada seseorang atau sesuatu yang jumlahnya satu / tunggal .
- a book; a teacher; a wish; an idea
Sedangkan bentuk plural dari countable noun menunjukkan orang atau sesuatu yang jumlahnya dua atau lebih.
- books; teachers; wishes; ideas
Countable Noun Tunggal
Bentuk singular ini selalu didahului dengan determiner, artinya ia tidak bisa hanya terdiri dari satu kata / tidak berdiri sendiri, seperti:
- the book
- that English teacher
- a wish
- my latest idea
Kata them, that, a dan my disebut determiner.
Countable Noun Jamak
Biasanya cukup menambahkan s pada kata yang jamak. Seperti pada contoh berikut:
- book > books
- school > schools
- friend > friends
Perlu diketahui, kita perlu menambahkan -es untuk noun yang berakhiran –ss; -ch; -s; -sh; -x
- class > classes
- watch > watches
- gas > gases
- wish > wishes
- box > boxes
Dan ketika noun berakhiran satu huruf consonant dan –y, maka akhir katanya menjadi -ies…
- lady > ladies
- country > countries
- party > parties
Akan tetapi, jika noun tersebut diakhiri dengan sebuah vowel and –y, maka cukup dengan menambahkan -s:
- boy > boys
- day > days
- play > plays
Irregular Countable Noun
Beberapa noun tidak mengikuti aturan di atas, seperti yang terjadi pada noun yang irregular. Kata-kata ini perlu dihafal.
- Man > men
- woman > women
- child > children
- foot > feet
- person > people
- mouse > mice
Uncountable Noun
Di tinjau dari makna kata dasar, arti uncountable noun mudah kita terka. Uncountable yaitu tidak dapat dihitung, sedangkan noun yaitu kata benda.
Jadi, uncountable noun adalah kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung.
Itu saja…
Pola Uncountable Noun
Perlu diingat, Uncountable noun tidak memiliki bentuk plural. Semuanya pasti singular / berpola tunggal.
Lihat tabel berikut:
water (benar)waters (kurang tepat)oil (benar)oils (kurang tepat)sand (benar)3 sands (kurang tepat)
Di samping itu, uncountable noun tidak didahului oleh article a / an.
- a water (kurang tepat)
- an oil (kurang tepat)
- a sand (kurang tepat)
Ciri-ciri uncountable noun
Agar anda dapat mengenali uncountable noun dengan mudah, fahami ciri-ciri berikut:
- perasaan (anger; cruelty; happiness; honesty; pride)
- Aktifitas (help; sleep; travel; work)
- Ide secara abstrak (beauty; death; fun; life)
- Cairan (milk, water, oil)
- Bubuk dan biji-bijian (rice, wheat, sand, powder, sand, dust)
- Kata benda masif (furniture, hair, transportation)
- Fenomena alam (sunshine, snow, rain, weather)
- Realitas (sleep, stress, childhood)
- Gas (oxygen, air, fart, wind)
Uncountable noun yang berakhiran -s
Beberapa kata benda yang uncountable terlihat seperti jamak dengan berakhiran s, namun sebenarnya noun ini adalah singular. Seperti pada daftar uncountable di bawah ini:
Mata pelajaranmathematics, physics, economics, etc.Aktifitasgymnastics, athletics, etc.Permainancards, darts, billiards, etc.Penyakitmumps, measles, rabies, etc.
Contoh kalimat:
- Economics is my favorite subject. (Ilmu ekonomi adalah materi pelajaran pavorit saya.)
- Billiards is easier than Badminton. (Bilyar itu lebih mudah dari pada Bulu Tangkis)
Perbedaan
Sebenarnya memahami perbedaan keduanya terbilang mudah sekali. Jika kata benda dapat dijumlahkan, bisa dipastikan bahwa ia adalah countable.
- I can drink
two glasses
, how about you? (Aku bisa minum dua gelas, bagaimana dengan anda?)
Sedangkan jika menunjukkan keseluruhan substansi, maka dipastikan ia adalah uncountable.
- I drink
water.
(aku minum air.)
Air yang dimaksud di sini adalah zatnya, bukan jumlah / jenisnya.
Sebagai perbandingan tambahan, perhatikan ilustrasi berikut:
- I eat mango (saya makan mangga). Yang dimaksud di sini adalah dagingnya. Karena itu, manggo di sini tergolong uncountable.
- I ate 2 mangoes (aku makan 2 mangga). Yang dimaksud di sini adalah jenisnya. So,,, ia tergolong countable.
Dalam tata bahasa, ada sedikit perbedaan pada keduanya. Cobalah Anda amati perbandingan tabel berikut:
Countable nounUncountable nounHow many…?How much…?These..This …Many…Much..
Contoh kalimat:
- Countable: I need many books to read. (Aku perlu banyak buku untuk dibaca)
- Uncountable: I need much water to drink. (aku perlu banyak air untuk minum)
- Countable: How many books do you have? (Berapa banyak buku yang kamu punya?)
- Uncountable: How much water do you have? (Berapa banyak air yang kamu punya?)
- Countable: These are my books (Ini adalah buku-buku ku)
- Uncountable: This is my water. (Ini adalah air ku)
Menghitung Uncountable Noun
Pada dasarnya, kata-kata yang ditebalkan di bawah adalah uncountable:
- Would you like to give me coffee?
- He ate cake.
Namun, semuanya dapat dihitung dengan menggunakan istilah tertentu. Dan Istilah yang sering dipakai diantaranya adalah: a kind of, a piece of, a glass of, a gallon of, a cup of.
- Would you like to drink a glass of water? (Apakah anda ingin minum segelas air?)
- Would you like to give me a glass of coffee?
- He ate 2 pieces of cake.
- Give a piece of cake (Beri saya sepotong kue!)
- She had six separate items of stuff (Dia memilliki 6 jumlah barang yang terpisah.)
Countable dan Uncountable Secara Bersamaan
Beberapa kata benda dapat menjadi countable dan uncountable secara bersamaan, tergantung pada konteks kalimatnya. Seperti pada kata hope dan travel di bawah ini:
- We should always have hope. (harapan)
- George had hopes of promotion. (beberapa harapan)
- Travel is a great teacher. (perjalanan)
- Where did you go on your travels? (beberapa perjalanan)

An introduction or overview of English articles: a, an, the, and the zero article.
Indefinite Articles: A / An
• Use with singular nouns.
• Use to identify, classify, or define a noun.
• Use to make a general reference.
A / AN: Pronunciation
• Use A before a singular noun that starts with a consonant sound.
• Use AN before a singular noun that starts with a vowel sound.
Indefinite vs Definite
A and AN are definite articles. We often use them before a singular noun the first time we mention it.
THE is the definite article. We use it before a singular noun after the first mention. THE makes a noun specific – it is known and understood by the speaker and listener.
THE: pronunciation
THE: specific from context
• Use THE even in the first mention of singular noun if the particular thing or person is known or understood by both the speaker and listener.
The ZERO article
• The zero article means that no article is used. No article is needed:
- before uncountable nouns (general reference)
- before plural nouns (general reference)
Proper Nouns
• A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, or thing. A proper noun begins with a capital letter.
• The zero article is often used before proper nouns.
