2. Explain to the students that a substance can be uncountable while the units in which we measure it are countable (e.g., slices of bread, cups of tea, pieces of chalk). Ideas and feelings can be either countable or uncountable (e.g., She has much love in her heart means she is a loving person, but she has many loves means she loves many things/people.)

When the noun is uncountable, there is is used with no (e.g., There is no water.).However, when the noun is countable, there are is used with no and the noun must be changed into its plural form(e.g., There are no swimmers.).
