Uncountable nouns have only one form.

  • Money, water, rice, coffee, and music cannot become monies, waters, rices, coffees and musics.

A and an are not used when using uncountable nouns.
The following are incorrect:

  • "Do you have a money?"
  • "I want a rice."
  • "I am listening to a music."

The can be used with uncountable nouns.
The following are correct:

  • Do you have the money? (You have set a specific sum of money aside to purchase something such as concert tickets.)
  • The rice is in the fridge.
  • Can you hear the music?

All uncountable nouns are written without the articles a and an; however you can say:

  • I want a bowl of rice.
  • Give me a cup of coffee.
  • Could you play a piece of music?

* This can be done when using other types of measurement such as a cup of + noun or a plate of + noun.

Using some
Some
is used with noncount nouns and plural (count) nouns:

  • "I want some tea." (Tea is a noncount noun; you do not add an "s" to it.)
  • "Do you want some money?" (Money is a noncount noun.)
  • "I have some friends that might be interested." (Friend is a count noun, but it is already in its plural form.)
