los sustantivos, pueden ser contables o incontables, dependiendo de si podemos separarlo en unidades y contarlos (libros, lápices, limones, borradores) o si no es posible separarlos en unidades y no se puede contar ( agua, azúcar, leche, pan, carne)
sustantivos incontables: son aquellos que forman una unidad no es posible contarlos, suele ser aquellos que cuando hablamos de ellos lo hacemos por litros, kilos, cucharadas, rebanadas, filetes, trozos. Siempre hablamos de ellos siempre en singular, por qué hay más o menos cantidad, pero no hay varios.
hay mas o menos agua, pero no hay aguas.
Para transformar un incontable en contable utilizamos una pequeña trampa que es repartirlo en unidades y contar el número de unidades:
dos vasos de agua, tres cucharadas de azúcar, dos rebanas de pan....
sustantivos contables:
pueden ser singular o plural, puesto que se pueden contar, puede haber uno o varios, con lo que utilizamos a/an para singular y some/any para plural.
en ambos casos se utilizan determinantes pero con diferencias;
