OET Writing - Uncountable Nouns -Part : 1

                                     OET Writing - Uncountable Nouns


Majority of errors in the Writing sub-Test take place in the grammar section, and that too, when writing uncountable nouns.

Most of the students have difficulty in finding out whether or not a particular word needs article a/an before it. Similarly, they are not sure about writing s/es with that particular noun.

What are nouns?

A noun can be person, place or an object. 

Nouns are of two types: 1. Uncountable Nouns; 2. Countable Nouns. 

Uncountable Nouns in OET

Nouns which cannot be counted are uncountable nouns.

For example, Pain. We cannot say 1 pain, 2 pains, 3 pains . It is difficult to write indefinite article a/an in front of an uncountable noun.

See below the uncountable nouns  in 4 different categories.
