Class 5 Grammar Worksheet on Countable and Uncountable Nouns – Usage and Practice

Count It or Pour It: Countable vs Uncountable Nouns for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet helps learners distinguish between countable nouns (that can be numbered individually) and uncountable nouns (that cannot be counted as individual items). With sorting tasks, sentence correction, and word-based sentence creation, this worksheet builds clarity in everyday noun usage.

Why Countable and Uncountable Nouns Matter in Grammar?

Understanding these noun types helps learners describe quantity and number accurately. For Grade 5 students, this distinction is important because:

1. It supports sentence accuracy with correct noun forms and determiners.

2. It builds awareness of when to use plural vs. singular.

3. It strengthens grammar for real-life situations involving food, objects, and ideas.

4. It avoids common grammar mistakes while writing or speaking.
