💡 The Rule

Countable: can be counted with a number → one book, two bridges, three satellites
Uncountable: cannot be given a number → luggage, equipment, progress, knowledge, weather

Articles: use a/an with countable singular. Use some/any/much with uncountable.

Common exam errors - never write:
× luggages × equipments × progresses (wrong meaning) × knowledges × weathers
To count them: a piece of luggage • a piece of equipment • a piece of knowledge
