A countable noun is a noun that can be counted or quantified as individual units. These nouns have both singular and plural forms. Here are a few examples of countable nouns: Book: singular - "I have a book," plural - "I have three books." Table: singular - "I need a table," plural - "We have six tables." Car: singular - "She drives a car," plural - "They own two cars." Student: singular-"The student is studying," plural - "The students are studying."
